Hmmm, a 17 year old who becomes a monk after one week? The potato sees a potential reality show coming out of this one! potato

I don't think you offended anyone.  Although there are many well intentioned people on this forum, if you are interested in joining your best course of action by far is to contact your nearest recruiting centre and go talk to someone there. There are several recruiters who are regulars here and...

From CFRC - Last course for St. Jean is Nov. 20th, starting up right after New Years again. I am not aware of dates at Borden, Gagetown or Wainwright. potato

Walk in the shoes for a while and then your opinion will count. Until then....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. potato

Which brings me to my question; you are what rank and what component of the armed forces? You wore/wear the uniform.....your opinion counts. If you spend your day in jeans....sorry, your uninformed, ill-thought out opinion is of little value. potato

I am not aware of your status and whether you wear the uniform or not; from your tone you don't, but I may be wrong.  However, these "fat sacks of crap" as you so call them chose to serve and by extension wear/wore that uniform with the red maple leaf on it somewhere. Having served before and...

Well I know that they are running BMQ until at least Nov 20th so I have my answer! potato

File this under dumb quote of the day, that's exactly what BMQ is; it decides whether you get to join the party or get sent home. Sheesh. potato

O my, during this time on "warrior platoon" are you engaged in anything other then remedial PT?? potato

Just wondering if anyone has recently completed SQ in Wainwright and if you did what your experiences were like?  We have a crew going there in several weeks for reg force SQ, that's why I am wondering. Thanks in advance, potato

Thanks for the input everyone. Good info. potato

I've searched but haven't found what I am looking for. I am wondering if there is a drop dead date as to how late they will start a BMQ course (reg force). Given the current situation I would think they would go as late as they can in the year but I keep hearing (from those who THINK) they know...

Treat the test seriously next time and if you are in as good a shape as you claim you are you should have no problem. No sleep, incorrectly dressed, transportation problems, you screwed up.

But you weren't doing a physical for your general health; it's that you are applying for a job where this stuff needs explaining before they commit thousands upon thousands of dollars to train, house, feed, insure, and eventually employ you. I am re-applying, over 40, needed blood profiles, eye...

Thank you, that's the funniest thing I have read in a long time!!

With respect, please do not lump everyone who took FRP into the "running away while the running was good" category. I got out of a dead-end trade that no longer even exists to pursure some career goals, went back to school and got a diploma, opened a business which I still own and have done some...

And you were right, I had a great laugh while reading this. Thank you and for toughing it out   :salute: potato

I have searched and not being the brightest bulb in the box am forced to ask about the 2nd portion of the Medic training (either in BC or Montral). Does this take place immediately after the intial MOC course of 16 weeks or is it more like a QL5 course, taken after a period of OJT? Thanks, potato

We called that trade "Stewards" in the Navy..........

Uhh. Umm. It's a trying not to get shot thing. Why try get under it if you can hit it from farther away? potato
