While anything is possible - It's fairly unlikely you would be doing anything related to OJT having just come off basic (prior to BMOQ-L) I can only speak from the Infantry School side of things, but OJT usually only became a possibility once you became a trained resource (IE, finished Phase...

There is no "miracle" way to get better at pull-ups fast, save to do them consistently.  I've found that doing sets of 3, 3-4 times a week was easy enough to fit into my schedule, and gave fairly good results. With a max of 15, I typically do sets of 12,9,9.  If 2 is your max, simply do your...

This was a response from CFHA - I infered from it (And other references) that any "renting" you are doing is between you and the other person - IE, CFHA can never be held responsible, nor is it obligated to protect "renter/rentee" rights and obligations. Still surprising to me - perhaps there...

Did a bit of research and looking for answers since posting this - I was somewhat surprised by the response (which I then referenced).  This was the e-mail I received: "Residents of DND housing do not have a lease or rental agreement with CFHA; they have a licence to occupy the Residential...

Have bought from DStactical in New West multiple times - very nice setup and good selection.  Again, mostly new stuff - but worth taking a look.  (www.dstactical.com)

Came across an interesting ad this evening, with a member advertising a room for rent in a PMQ (for roughly a few hundred less then the member is likely paying for it - though it is a moot point).  This sets off some alarm bells to me, was curious if anyone could shed some light on the topic...

We've been this discussion in the office over the last few weeks. The reality of the situation is that as long as a solider meets the "minimal" standard, there is very little incentive (outside of personal pride) to reach any other standard.  The FORCE Test will have more successful members...

Well, it is somewhat of an original question (at least as far as I've seen).  Without giving away too much: You'll be tested on basic leadership skills - how you work within a group (both as a follower and as a leader) and part of that will be assessing the strengths and abilities of the people...

My tip is pretty straight forward: Read topics on this site.  If you do so, you'd find you had very little need to ask for tips. (There are dozens of threads on these topics, take a look in the recruiting threads!)

Nearly all officers being accepted into programs now (including DEO - your likely entry point) need to have a degree.  And each of those officers go through BMOQ.  BMOQ is the basics on how to be a solider and officer - none of which was taught to you in a civilian institution. From the moment...

Echoing what NFLD Sapper said: It would depend entirely on how flexible your time requirement is (and I'll fully admit my ignorance in this regard).  If your requirement for prayer is at set times that conflict with the training requirement - probably not.  If you have the ability to be...

I had the pleasure of watching two 5 foot even members pass BMOQ - with rucks that looked at big as they did.  Also watched a WO (again, 5 foot even) out march even the fittest of the bunch later on in phase training.  I'm sure someone told them at some point they'd fail too.  Unless you are...

Your milage may vary.  From my experience as a Lt (and those of my peers) your primary focus will be as a Pl Comd with courses being secondary.  Right place, Right time seems to have a large influence on what you will do as a junior officer (Patrol Pathfinder, Jump courses, Mountain Ops, etc)...

Somewhat related - but access to DND Learn from home is down as well. Maybe it is just that time of the year?

My Company trialed the three new boots - general consensus was none were a particularly good replacement for our current boot (Most of the issues weren't regarding comfort, but rather that they fell apart during anything rigorous - like marching in the woods). Maybe they have sorted out the...

I ran into a similar problem when I applied - at the end of the day while you would not want to insult your former employer, ultimately you "know" you can get a promotion at your current place of work, but have no idea if/when you will be offered employment with the CF.  Go with what you know...

It has been answered often, yes.  I'll answer generally: What makes you a good fit for the job?  What do you actually know about the job the infantry do day to day?  What skills do you bring to the table?  In short, the same kinds of questions that any employer would ask you.  Your job is, to...

(laughs) if only things could be clear and straightforward.  Heck, I'd even take confusing - if everyone was confused the same way.

It's been a little while since I've gone through St Jean, but you can probably infer quite a bit from what is already posted on this site. You will get a small (read, basketball sized-ish) personal locker which you can put personal effects while at basic.  Anything personal that you want to put...

And even if you don't, you'll have the memories forever!  :nod:  Seriously though - I learned more about the realities of being a soldier from that course then from the subsequent officer training.  Not that it was "harder", but it will give you an appreciation for what the soldiers you will...
