I will be posted to the LFAA PRL list for the duration of the contract.  As I mentioned, I don't mind wearing the daily work dress, in this case combats, as this is the uniform of the day.  But to require a complete elemental change, what happened to the "total forces" tri-service concept.  If...

I guess we could end up taking this one step further by say, now we know why there is not a lot of Class B jobs for reservists but truefully this is not the case for me.  I think it is more the hard sea trades that might be effected by the transfers.

The little problem I see with this comparison, if we take it literally, BK and MD's are to separate competeting companies.  The CF is one large company with multiple branches.  I could also state, if a specific unit does not wish an "outside" element to apply for their advertised job, then it...

Sorry, No I was not bragging about have a Special Service Medal.  There is a new Naval Pin coming the is an SSI (Sea Service Insigina) (I am sure I will be corrected on the right term, which I have been).  It is a Pin which indicates how much sea time one in the Navy/Naval Reserve has.  I...

"This comes down to who foots the bill. Regular force members are all paid out of the same pot.  Not true of all reserve positions." Thing is, I already have both work dress uniforms.  Why bother footing the bill for the Army DEU's, when I already have the Navy DEU's and I get the replacements...

Find this frustrating within the Reserve world. In the Regular Force, if an army clerk (purple trade) is posted to a ship, all they have to do is wear the appropriate work dress (NCD's) but are not required to change their chosen element.  If a navy clerk is posted to an army base, they are...

Just to let everyone know the correct information, yes CFLRS det Borden is closing down the Regular Force BMQ due to the decision made by CDA to not fund this particular course.  HOWEVER, NRTD Borden will continue to run the Reserve Force BMQ until further notice.  That being said, there are...

From a member of the NRTD staff, I would not recommend anyone counsel people to not do the best they can with regards to the Expres Test.  This will take place approximately the 3 day of the course.  If you do not meet the minimum requirement, which is dependent upon age, etc, you will be...

Normally, the course schedule here at CFLRS Det Borden would start with training on the Monday with the in clearance/in routine, hair cuts, ID pictures, etc  taking place on Sunday. That is why we require the recruits to be on the Base by Sunday NLT 1000 hrs. However, as noted by different...

From a member of the full time staff in Borden, do no use the Saint Jean joining instructions.  If you do, you will be reporting for duty at the incorrect timings.  Saint Jean states to be on the base by 1400 on the Sunday, NRTD/CFLRS Det Borden wants you on the base by Sunday at 1000 am...

I am currently scheduled to be medically released next Feb.  I am hoping to have specific pins in my shadow box which reflects events and trades that took place over my career.  I have pins for the following events that took place in my 19 year career which are the 75th Anniversary of the Naval...

Sorry for the delay in answering the follow-up question. I was waiting to confirm with the Staff here in Borden, from week 5 until graduation recruits are normally granted weekend passes.  With a signed leave pass, recruits have permission to leave the base or have visitor's in.  However...

To avoid confusion between current policy and previous course or other on line sourses, NRTD staff have confirmed that there are NO visitation privilages during the first four weeks.  The staff are in the process of up dating the official joining instructions and requesting that previous version...

Sorry for the date confusion, as Niteshade pointed out, yes, Sunday is the 4th.  I will going and correct the original post.

For those individuals attending the BMQ at CFB Borden and to help avoid any confussion, I just confirmed with the Chief Clerk from CFLRS/NRTD Borden that briefings will start at 0900 and intake process will start at 1000 hrs on Sunday, 04 Jan 09.  :salute:

A little clarification, it has been requested to the CFRG centers to have new recruits coming to CFB Borden on ground two days prior to start of the course.  For example, the up coming course is scheduled to start on Monday, 08 Sep 08, therefore, we would like the trainees settled into barricks...
