Do they completely buzz it all off?

This may be a silly question but are we responsible for getting ourselves to BMQ training in St Jean or does the military send us on a bus/plane? Just wondering if I will be driving myself or what? Bojangles

I just wrote the CFAT yesterday and I can tell you...I found it NO CAKE WALK! Mind you, I haven't wrote a test in 15 years. I am a little late coming into the Army at 33 but I would definitely advise anyone about to write the CFAT to brush up on basic math skills. The vocabulary part is a little...

I am in the same boat. I just got my call yesterday that I will be doing my CFAT on Tuesday of next week and my math skills are horrible to say the least. I work at a gym and I asked one of my colleagues who is good at math to give me a few lessons. He gladly gave me a crash refresher coarse on...

Thanks so much!!! Bojangles

I just brought my application on MOnday and I also needed my HighSchool Transcript. I called my old High School that I graduated from in 1990..Oh God! I am aging myself! and they told me I could pick it up the same day. It cost me $2.00. Good LUck! Bojangles

I sure hope they won't overlook us because of our age. I just applied yesterday and I am 33 yrs old...and a woman to boot! LOL Bojangles

Looking for an old friend of mine that joined the Army at least 5 years ago. If anyone can help me I'd appreciate it. Unfortunately I don't know anything to help out such as where he is posted or even what trade he is in.. Bojangles

After reading the replies thus far and after many hours of research I have come to the conclusion that Infantry is probably NOT one of my best choices. Regardless of whether I like it or not, my size does give me a handicap and the last thing I want to do is FINALLY get in and then set myself up...

I was pretty focused on Infantry as well as Artillery soldier until looking a little deeper into it. My challange comes in that I only weigh 125 lbs and stand 5 foot nothing. The rucksack and gear alone probably almost outweigh me. After all the good advise as well as research I have been doing...

No offense guys, but I would really like to know from the ladies on this board as to what division they have applied for or are currently in. I have come to the conclusion that Army is best suited for me but then I am torn between Armoured/Artillery or Infantry. I have read tons of stuff on...

I've decided to join the CF (Army, regular) and after going to the recruiting office and checking out the fitness requirements I have a few questions. I tried all the requirements and can pass "most" of them. Pushups are good, sit-ups no problem, but the grip test ( I have been practicing with...
