:off topic: Combat Engineers aren't officers....let alone DEO.

This convo is turning very sour... I'm sorry if I rubbed people off the wrong way. I guess I just have my own personal standards and maybe it's not fair to apply it to everyone. I'm trying to become an Infantry officer and poeple are always telling me to listen to my Sgts., I guess I should do...

Wow, someone's butthurt. To be honest my comments come from my personal experience with the forces. I have a lot of friends in reserves who are in absolute terrible shape, all of whom are infantrymen. My biggest fear about Reg forces is that it will be filled with kids who played one too many...

I don't mean to sound like a d#%k but I hope the people wondering about fitness standards are not applying to any of the combat trades. Am I crazy to think that those looking to join the forces should already have that stuff figured out in their personal life?

I don't understand why people can't comprehend why knowing the dates helps. I finally found out the next POSSIBLE dates for BMOQ I could be on (August-sept). Knowing this I can actually plan on taking some summer classes. Before I was avoiding things like that because I didn't know if I'd have...

I called and he said he thought it might be sometime in July...

If pilot selection is June 24, does anyone know when selection is for other trades?

I asked a recruiter how much time your given between the offer and BMOQ and he said he's seen anywheres from 2 months to 2 days. From what I've read however on this forum it seems most people are given 2-3 week notice.

When I called and found out that I've been merit listed I also asked to update my resume and he said it didn't matter...

I was wondering if anyone knew the significance of being merit listed. I found out last week I've been merit listed (DEO Infantry Officer). I've read a variety of different things on the forum of what it means. Some saying that everyone is ranked equally and it's a matter of when you were put on...

Try emailing the CFLRS. They told me the next BMOQ dates.

Congrats

I don't think that BMOQ is broken up into trades. Why would they if BMOQ is the same for all Officers? Training diverges after BMOQ.

In my experience I try not and take anything the local recruiters say seriously because it seems to be wrong about 90% of the time. But no they didn't say anything. I was talking to the national recruiting centre and they said to ignore the open/closed thing because it changes constantly and te...

Who told you that Infantry and Armour officer won't be going to BMOQ until Spring 2014? I don't think that is true.

Where did you get that BMOQ is on August 26th DAA? When I emailed the CLFRS they said Sept 16 and Sept 30.

I emailed the CFLRS about when the next BMOQ is for DEO and she said they are scheduled for September 16 and September 30.

So I've applied as an Infantry Officer and my best guess is that I'll be shipped off to BMOQ in September. I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to what I would be doing in between courses. I'm assuming that there will be time in between the end of BMOQ and when I'm shipped off to...

I just realized that what I said about occupations being neither open or closed is confusing. What I meant was that the open/close thing is a bad way to look at it. In reality they're not always hiring but that doesn't mean they won't be hiring in a few months time. Just apply to what you...
