Regarding the boot polish... there seems to be conflicting views. I'm not going to polish anything yet, I don't want to make a mistake and use the wrong polish or what not. I'll wait to see what my joining instructions say. AshleyK, yes, I believe Gagetown is used for most training in the...

Well then... I guess I will see you there!  :o Also, I never received polish with my boots... So, I guess I will hold off on polishing them.

Thanks! My Sergeant actually told me I most likely would NOT be going away this summer, and a week later, he calls me to tell me I'm going away! Just goes to show nothing is set in stone, and things can change very fast. Goodluck, and hopefully you get in soon!

Thanks for the great advice! One of the retired (I think) workers at the warehouse detachment helped me form my beret, it looks pretty good now! I'll definitely be doing what you posted though. And come to think of it, you're going to BMQ the same day as me! What base are you going to, if you...

Okay, thank you. Reason I ask about the boots is because I tried to do turns in them, and while I don't know the proper way to about turn and such, I figured I would get used to at least trying to turn. When I did try, the boots griped the floor and I had some trouble doing a smooth turn. Then...

I have a question that relates to this. I was not issued a military pair of PT shorts/shirts for my Reserve BMQ. Do I bring civy ones, or do I need to ask the workers at the detachment to issue me some? Reason I ask, is that I have not received my joining instructions yet, and some people tell...

I searched for quite a while but couldn't find exact answers. These are probably rookie and/or flat out stupid questions, but here goes: I got issued two pairs of the black combat/general purpose boots. Am I supposed to have some sort of marching/parade boots? Or are the black combat boots for...

Let me say this: The practice test is like a kindergarten spelling test compared to the actual CFAT. Goodluck, and don't be like other fools who don't study for it and underestimate it.

My crewman brother! Congrats!!

I wore khakis and a collared shirt, and I was over dressed compared to everyone else... I'd recommend at least wearing that, however, a suit may be overkill.

I remember talking to my recruiting officer about this when I first applied, he said you can apply, train and join all when you're 16, as long as you maintain full time student status. The Captain at my CFRC told me that I'd be going to BMQ this summer if I pass my medical, interview, and get a...

It is not 17... at least where I live? I am currently in the process and have the medical and interview left. I'm 16. I believe it's: 16 with parental consent for the Reserves 17 with parental consent for the Reg Force
