I'm bisexual and I can tell you that sexual orientation doesn't matter. As long as you do your job to the best of your ability, and work well with the people in your unit, you will be fine.

Yes your pay will be the same during your QL3 since you will still be a no-hook private.

How should I know? You'll have to ask your Chain of Command. They will have the most up to date info regarding your courses.

As a reservist, you don't pay R&Q while on course. If you're on a weekend BMQ usually your training will start on Friday evening and go until late Sunday afternoon. Usually training will be ran by a unit locally though field training will likely take place at a larger Area Training Center (for...

Most of your questions can be answered via searching. If you join the reserves as Infantry it may be possible to switch to reg force down the road. However this process can take a very long time (why would you have any reason to think this is a lie?) I personally know one Infantry MCpl with 3...

From what I understand, yes you can email DMCA directly. My unit OR told me it's not a problem. I highly doubt you'll have a posting message my April. Even CT's to the same trade can take a while (a friend waited a year and a half to get back into the RCD, and that was with a tour to Bosnia) I...

You won't get your first chevron until you do your DP1 Infantry and as a result you won't  be able to do much with the unit  until you're qualified.

To add to that: In the reserves you will usually only work (we call it parade) once a week. Usually you'll parade once a week and go on the occasional weekend ex. Full time work with the reserves is possible in the form of courses and taskings (but those are becoming harder to get) and it's...

Hate to break it to you but the Infantry is full and while they may be accepting small numbers of new recruits during the next FY there are many, many people ahead of you in the process. To get into the Infantry you need a very competitive application. Volunteer, play sports, get involved with...

To clarify, the CFRC administers the step test to applicants. Once BMQ starts the course staff may do another fitness test where they have you do the 2.4km run (that's how it worked on my basic at least)

I forget exactly how many relatives can attend (for mine, I think several guests were allowed but situation and ground will dictate) For the beep test I believe level 6 is a pass for males under 35. Don't strive for just the minimum standard, try to push past it. You will  find it more...

Only you can make the choice on if you want to leave or not. For 4 years the Army was my only source of income (and for a while I was a tasking monkey and jumped from one tasking to the next) but I couldn't keep that up so I just now got a civie job (while I wait out my CT to Traffic Tech). Is...

I have my CT/OT in for Traffic Tech, and I've done a fair bit of research about the trade. I asked a Traffic Tech about the math as well and this is what they told me: Don't worry too much about the driving, on military driving courses they give you plenty of time to practice. They will teach...

I'm kind of confused. Does this just mean Crossfit won't be a part of unit PT (since it's not endorsed by PSP) and can we still do Crossfit on our own time?

You'd have to check forces.ca to see what interests you (since I don't know too much about that kinda stuff) but even if you're not sailing  for 6 months of the year, you could still be sent on deployments, tasking, exercises, etc.

Why is that so hard to believe? It's the military you're dealing with. I don't think there's any trades that are 9-5 type jobs 100% of the time. Every trade can travel, some more then others sure, but it's bound to happen at some point in your career.

If you don't want to travel away from home, maybe the military isn't the right job for you. If you still want to be in the military and not be away from home, maybe look into transferring to a reserve unit?

Same here, I didn't really care for it that much. My parents loved it but not I.

No, reservists do not go to St. Jean to do reg force BMQ. Some brigades might offer a full time BMQ course in the summer but it's only 4 weeks long. I'm not sure how long Naval reserve BMQ is.

Wait what? There's a new PLQ? What mods will the new one cover?
