Reserve units generally do BMQ three times a year. Full time during the summer,  and part time (usually every other weekend) starting in September and January. For the weekend/part time BMQ, you'll usually be at the armouries (or wherever) they're based out of, and will occasionally go to the...

I believe it's 20 days, total.

maphewz asid in his first post "I know my boss is flexible and would give me the time off for my reserve commitment; be it a weekend, a week or even 2 months." I was commenting that his boss is really considerate, since not every boss is that flexable, or that willing to give time off.

Yeah, I know, but still, that is one of the things I would like to do.

Cool.  That's one of the things I would really like to do, being able to try out all the new stuff that few others have used.

Your boss will give you up to two months off? Cool. As ToRN said, no you don't have to quit your job to join the reserves. 

They have a Canadian Drill Manual, too http://www.drillpad.net/DPmanuals.htm

Government Reform, Defence and Immigration are my three main issues, and I voted for immigration. It just seems like it‘s been an issue for a while, with people of questionable character, intent and backgrounds being able to gain entrance into this country. As far as defence is concerned...

I was introduced to Michael Moore‘s work in my communications class (watched his first two films, "Roger and Me", which was on MoviePix earlier tonight, and "The Big One"). Not bad, interesting views. I take it with as much weight as any other documentary, as a basis to start my own research, if...

Yeah, it‘s Mohawk. I‘ve got an appointment with one of the Carreer Councilors tomorow, just to see if they can help me figure out what I want to do. I‘m going to fill out my application tomorow, and see if I can get my transcripts and references by next week. Then, the only thing I need to...

I was taking software engineering, but I rushed into it. I was taking woodworking, and ended up not liking it, and within a month, I decided on and applied to a software Engineering program. However, I remembered why I didn‘t do Software Engineering in the first place. It‘s not that I don‘t...

Hey. I‘ve been thinking about what I want to do, what I can do, and where I‘m going to go. Originally, I was in college and was going to enlist in the Army Reserves (R031), and do that till I get through college, and then possibly transfer to the Reg Force. Now, I‘m leaving college (I did...

The first thread in the forum is a link tot he FAQ.

Well, now. Maybe this‘ll generate some desire to beef up the military? Wishful thinking, I know, but still. Anyways, an intersting read.

If it‘s such a big deal to type up the huge list of kit everytime someone asks about it, and it happens a lot, why not type up a list and post it in the FAQ? Isn‘t that what the FAQ‘s there for?

nULL, that‘s pretty cool. Maybe it could be worked to be a kind of IFF for ground combat.

What happens if you get CADPAT tatooed on you? :D

For Reserves or Regular Force, are you still in high school? How many more years do you have left? Are you planning on going to college after? If you‘re still in school, or are planning on college, then the Reserves would be better. This would give you a taste of what it‘s like, but still allow...
