Ya, I'll try to get a hold of the recruting center, the only problem was that I always end up playing phone tag with a recruiter for days and often for a week or more.  It's really really rare that I don't get directed to voicemail when I call in.  So thanks for clearing that up for me, because...

You have an opportunity to discuss your trade choices at your interview.  They will verify your trade choices and determine which ones you are most interested in and put those first and second, and you can have up to three choices. Personally, I had three areas I was really interested in, but I...

I got my package in the mail today with my course details.  I'm Reg 031, but they sent me a package for NavRes.  The whole package is worded as though I'm a Naval Reservist and keeps telling me to clear up certain issues with my home unit.  I'm assuming that it's the package I was supposed to...

Actually, i just did an update interview and pt test this morning, and I asked where I was going for BMQ, and it turns out I am going to Borden from Sept 26th to Dec 9th, a 10 week course.  I'm going to be infantry with the PPCLI.  Another guy who was there is going to be on the same course as...

I think there is some confusion here.  He's asking about the rumors that are going around about B"M"Q lasting for 13 weeks instead of 10.  You're talking about B"I"Q.  I don't think hes looking that far ahead to his occupational training yet. Besides, Infanty training is a lot longer than 10...

I just got an offer about 3 days ago.  It was for Infantry, PPCLI, and my BMQ starts on Sept 26th ends Dec 9th.  10 weeks.

Apparently I do.  It made me nervous when she told me that I had to do another update interview, but I asked if it was normal, and she told me that yes it was.  I guess its just because I haven't been in for PT testing in over 6 months, and its also been awhile since my last update interview.

I'm scheduled to attend basic from September 26th to December 9th.  The recruiter never mentioned where it was going to be, I assumed it would be in St. Jean, but I guess I'll ask on Tuesday when I go in for my update PT and interview. For the author of this post, is it possible you were told...

I just got a call for BMQ starting September 26th, after 3 years of recruiting process and roughly 3 weeks of waiting on the merit list. Obviously I'm really excited about getting the call, its been a long time coming. Anyway, I just thought I'd check and see if anyone else is going to be on...

I havent been here for a while, but I'll post this anyway, in case you havent found out elsewhere already.   The simple answer is yes, they review ALL the information the have gathered about you, and then assign you a merit score based upon that information.

There is no way to tell exactly how long it can take.  At least that's what I have come to believe through my experience in the recruiting proccess, and from reading through this forum. First will be the time it takes for your medical file to be reviewed at Borden.  Usually you will be told 2-8...

The sooner you get into a recruiting center and find out if there is a trade you really want in the reg. force the sooner they can start processing your application. Perhaps your reading through the boards has not impressed on you that there can be a considerable time lapse between application...

I was working at the Dominion across the street from Ryerson, and my boss told me that a plane had hit the WTC and I thought he meant a Cessna or something.   Then a while later my girlfriend showed up in tears and told me that the World Trade Center was gone, and that they were estimating that...

Offensive tattoos are probably mostly along the lines of having certain 4 letter words inked across your knuckles or wherever else, sexually graphic depictions, obvious gang related tats, or racist symbols. I think most military personnel can handle seeing the word "die" tattooed on one of...

Ya I had the stress question too, and we went over it for about 10 minutes. I didn't say I would take a nap, but I did say that that I generally leave situations where the stress is building to the point where I might act irrationally. This is an equally negative response to the question "how...

Im going to post a link to a resource I frequently use to end arguments about the effects of drugs, both the real negative attributes, and the popular myths. It is by no means the end word on the subject, but it is very thourough, including detailed information about drugs ranging from the...

WWII online has all other "war games" beat by a mile.  My "suggestion" would be to combine a high quility graphics and backround game (like many of the other ones mentioned above ie. Rainbowsix 3) on the WWII engine, with the real time massively multiplayer concept.  (example, something like Day...

Congratulations.  Good luck.

My medical was sent away on May 28th after it was "mishandled" for about 3 months, but I found out this morning through my bi-weekly call in that my medical file has been received from Borden  :o  ;D ;) 8).  I'm obviously happy about that.  Yet I also discovered that there is 1 more snag holding...

Is this really true?  So if you make some really awesome buddies at BMQ you could all request the same company and serve together? I mean I'm prepared to see buddies come and go here and there through courses and transfers and stuff, but coming up right from basic with other people and doing...
