Well yes and no. The guys who got in early, worked hard, put money away and filled their pension - retire at 60 with 6 figure pensions.  People can get remarkably “rich” in the army. I hear you that the military is not a financially lucrative endeavor and doing it for the money is not the right...

Wondering how senior guys do financially.

Dang. The reward for years of sacrifice and service is this?

Whatami Gettinginto - are you able to give a broad overview of some of the stuff you covered in BMOQ Mod 1?  I understand there's been some changes lately and I'm interesting in what is currently covered. Also interested in hearing from current freshly minted Logistics officers/sergeants on...

Golly.  The good thing about these forums is that every question ever asked is in here.  The bad thing about these forums is that every question ever asked is in here!  It's actually virtually impossible to find previous threads even though I searched... so the moderator will always be able to...

I’m seeing a lot of threads and comments on the importance of eating and meals etc. Just curious if anyone here has experimented with intermittent fasting and seen any improvements. I fasted prior to the fitness and aptitude test (which was in early afternoon) and not only was my performance...

Any update on this thread from the OP or anyone else in the know???  Inquiring minds want to know.

Was it a serious injury?  Hope all is okay.

Anyone know when the next basic and officer courses will be happening in Meaford or Borden?  I mean for reservists. I was told the officer courses don’t always get offered in Ontario.

What are the food options like in the cafeterias generally?  I could live off fresh fruits and vegetables, boiled eggs, nuts and seeds.  And coffee. But for those with dietary restrictions, can we bring our own food?  Like protein powders, a small fridge to store our own perishable kosher...

Thanks!  yes I read that thread in full, it didn't get into BMQ or BMOQ details... in particular the curriculum component.  'spose those are details left to the unit head etc...

Thanks for all the help guys. Pretty helpful.  Sounds like despite the bureaucracy, much will have to do with negotiations within Chain of Command etc. Follow up q's: 1.  The specialty professional trade I'm considering doesn't have any openings and probably won't for a few years.  But I wanna...

Hi there, 1.  I'm thinking of joining the reserves, direct entry for officer.  I was told leaving the reserves is easy if it doesn't work out - e.g. 30 days notice.  Is that true?  Don't reservists need to fill out a bunch of Voluntary Release paperwork?  In the meantime, are reservists...
