Good afternoon Currently waiting for my enrolment date, I have tried to search for information regarding approx how much net pay ( as well as the breakdown) is for attending BMQ away from my home province. I have tried searching on the forum but the latest info I can find is from 2016-2018. For...

Good morning, I am a 52 year old female in the final process of joining the CAF !!

Thank you so much for your advice. I am a bit nervous how I will be received by the young ones, but at the same time looking forward to forming lasting friendships. I am looking forward to learning a lot as well as teaching some. I am looking forward to the whole experience!

Look out young ‘uns … us older folk are coming for ya 🤣

That made me LOL !

Thank you for your detailed reply. I need to speak to my recruiter and figure out if the Army may be a better path for me as I have a full time (m-f) career. I can take time off for my BMQ and courses, pretty sure full time at both my civ career and the CAF wouldn’t work out lol. I am no...

Any advice for a 52 yr old female that is going through the application process ? I know it’s slow, however I hope to be enrolled later this year or early next year.

Hello, I am a 52 yr old female in the application process ( currently going for my medical in two weeks ) any other advice you have for the “older folk “ LOL I wish to join the Air Force Res as a MSE Thanks for your time

Either way I will have a discussion with my recruiter. I may have to choose a different trade, which is fine.

My recruiter is with the AF

Either way I will have a chat with my recruiter to see if there is MSE reserve in the AF, or if I need to choose another trade. Thank you.

Ideally I’d like to be in the AF reserves ..I am going to contact my recruiter and see if that is feasible. If not I’ll go Army Res ..thank you very much for your info and time.

Ok i understand now. Thank you !

I am trying to join 17 Wing in Winnipeg. Looks like I am going to have to have a chat with my recruiter. LOL Would it be possible that I am with an Air Force recruiter right now not when I am accepted I will be switching to Army because of my trade ?

I am not applying for Reg … I am applying for Res so I can keep my civilian career. I am just wondering what is the best way to jiggle the financials while I am away at BMQ.

Uh oh … I applied for MSE ..my recruiter said I would most likely be attached with an army unit, but still be under the Air Force. Does that make sense ?

My recruiter implied that it was one night a week and occasional weekends. I am free most evenings and weekends from my full time career. I will do my absolute best to manage both.

Is that for meals ? I’m still trying to figure out how the lodging and meals work as well. If the “incidentals “ are not included in meals and lodging that would certainly help !

Yes, I realize I won’t be spending much while I am doing BMQ..how ever I will still have bills at home that need to be paid. Parking insurance on my vehicle, cel bill, rent etc. I am looking into what bills I can put in “vacation” mode like my cable and internet, as well as put my vehicle on...
