    BMNQ 2013-Current: Naval Reserve

    Haha the pun is fantastic, you can do DL at home, that's what I have been doing (up to the point I am stuck at  :-\). I get all my kit on the 26th, so I am super excited for that, but for my DL I cannot even dive into the main module as it is still saying I have to complete my learning contract...

    BMNQ 2013-Current: Naval Reserve

    Hate to break it to you, but the likely hood of you getting on course this summer is pretty slim. DL and DT take a decent chunk of time and I am just barely making it.

    BMNQ 2013-Current: Naval Reserve

    Sorry about the late reply, I was given the FOR SURE date, but I need to get all my DL done first, DT is almost complete, I was just able to access DL yesterday, and have been on a mini grind... I hope to get it all done by the middle of May... Still waiting on my Uniform though haha.

    Mess Dress as a New Recruit?

    Haha thankfully I don't drink very much, I have the one or two beers and then I am done haha. But I will definitely try to avoid making myself look like an ass.

    Mess Dress as a New Recruit?

    Thank you kindly! I figured I would go, and try to get to know people around my unit a little bit more. I am trying to prepare myself for the military environment as much as I can before I head off to Quebec this summer. The drinking is a nice added bonus though haha.  :salute:

    Mess Dress as a New Recruit?

    So this one I have tried to find information on but there isn't much, and I am extremely worried about making a bad impression etc. But I am a new recruit at my Naval Reserve unit, and have yet to be issued any kit (and unsure of when I will be issued it), I don't leave for BMNQ until late...

    Voluntary Release (VR) from Reserve - anytime [Merged]

    Yes you have from the time you enter the platoon, to 24hrs before being released to change your mind. I unfortunately had a change of heart as soon as I got into the cab.

    Voluntary Release (VR) from Reserve - anytime [Merged]

    I was interviewed 3 times, and the personnel who dealt with PAR platoon also tried to talk me out of it. I very stupidly did not listen, and low and behold as soon as I left, I regretted it. Now a little over a year later I am going back to Quebec.  They can potentially say no, but that all...

    BC Labor laws and Parading with my Unit

    I work in the restaurant industry, and I am not union. I have spoken with my manager and have figured everything out, it was a minor miscommunication problem. Thank you for your replies.

    BC Labor laws and Parading with my Unit

    First of all I apologize if this has been covered hundreds of times, either I am blind or I just can't think of the correct things to search for. (Also apologies if this is the incorrect place). I am from British Columbia, I hope to be attending my first parade night at my Unit on Saturday. I...

    Vancouver Regiments

    I was originally going Army Reserves, I ended up changing because there was more opportunity for me with the Navy Reserves.

    Naval Reserves Questions

    Fantastic! Thank you so much, I will have to come up with a much better way to bring it up haha. They do have positions at Discovery, I am actually fairly happy as I have been wanting to get into the unit since I first applied. Hopefully my process won't be much longer! Thanks for all the help!

    Naval Reserves Questions

    Thank you all for your replies, I have discovered I can't join HMCS Malahat, as I live in the Lower Mainland and had no plans to move to Victoria. So I ended up letting the Sergeant at the Army unit know that I will not be going that route, and he said it was fine and moved on from there...
