Thanks very much, I appreciate the detailed response! I'll contact my section commander (a Cpl in my case...). I know many of my questions may have seemed quite naive (and probably were, partially because I've been in for less than six months), so I especially appreciate the time you took to...

Hello, After some time at my current PRes unit I have made the decision to *attempt* an Occupation Reassignment. I like my unit, but after plenty of time working with DP1-qualified members, I have decided it's not for me. I would like to transfer to another unit (and a different combat arms...

Hello, I'm scheduled to pick up my kit at my unit's armoury (Dennison, Toronto) in just over a week. Does anyone know, how long does it typically take (hours) to get all your stuff, complete any paperwork etc, at the armoury? I'm asking because I've heard it's wise to take everything home in a...

Hello, First off, forgive me if this post is in the wrong place/off in any way. I did plenty of searching and didn't find what I was looking for, so: Has anyone here received word about summer BMQ at Meaford this year? I've heard from recruiting staff that it's supposed to begin in early June...

Leeema, Thank you very much! I'll get on that.

Hello, Does anyone know if 32 CER is hiring? Is the unit under-manned? I've been unable to find much of any info on the unit so any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Mariomike, thank you, will do. FYI by "out of date", I was referring explicitly to time-specific news about recruiting, etc. I didn't mean to discount "old" info :) Also, I wasn't sure if those older threads were in sections rarely saw the light of day, and figured posting here might be a good...

Hello all. I'm applying to join 32 Combat Engineer Regiment in Toronto, and am wondering if there are any members of the unit around. When applying, I got in contact with a 32 CBG recruiter (his email was attached to 32 CER's contact info on FORCE.ca) and have not had any contact with members...

I've never heard of that before personally, what stages of the application have you completed already?

I did mine in November. I was very nervous about it, as I've always been terrible at math. However I studied hard for about a month prior to the test and ended up acing it. (Apparently  ;) ) Like Karona said, the CFAT isn't "easy or hard" - it varies for everyone. I can't comment on the spatial...

Ah that makes sense! Thanks for the help :) :cdn:

Lumber, Thanks for clearing that up. Horse Guards recruiter has emailed back, saying "There is nothing you need to do at this time to move your file along. Your file is almost complete, you just need to continue to wait." So wait I shall continue to do. Thanks again for all the advice! Canuck...

Lumber, That would make sense! I sent the Horse Guards recruiter an email, so I'm hoping to find out what's up soon. One more question, do you think it's possible that 32 CER doesn't know about my file at all, or have seen it and decided I'm not needed? Pardon my lack of knowledge about the...

I'm actually not 100% sure. When searching the FORCES.ca site to find out how to make my first contact, I found the 32 CER info and an email address with "32 CBG" in the title. Emailing that, I was contacted by a recruiter who I've since learned is with the Governor General's Horse Guards. Am I...

Buck, Thank you for the quick reply! I didn't want to hassle the recruiting staff or act like I deserve special treatment, so I appreciate the advice. :cdn:

Hello, I'm applying to join the Army reserves as a CE, 32 CER in Toronto. CFAT, FORCE, medical and interview have all been done (completed early December 2016) and, according to the recruiter, my med file was sent to Ottawa. I've since found out that my references have been contacted and my...

I avoided telling anyone beyond my closest friends and family for this exact reason. I'd rather surprise everyone I know with the news that I'm (hopefully!) heading to BMQ than have to explain that "no, I'm not actually in the army, I didn't get hired" after spreading it around. Most people...

Thanks for the advice everyone - got the medical done, had no problems and the lowest BP I've ever seen. Just waiting for Ottawa's approval  :)
