It's possibile, but it hasn't been sent down the CoC here as of yet, though. My info is up to date as of last week, but if it is true, I think that is a good thing for the recruits. cheers! EDIT:spelling

I can't say for sure if BMQ starts on 9 Jan, but I did see a bunch of new recruits in this past Thursday and as I was introducing myself to them I asked them when they started BMQ, the said January. I would wear nothing less then a suit and tie. Best of Luck! If you have any specific unit...

Once you are on your BMQ, you will not be required to come in on parade night, unless instructed to by your CoC. (applies to the Lincoln and Welland Regiment)

I am working towards my Bachelor of Business Administration through Athabasca and I am in the PRes. MJP has summed it up pretty good and I agree it has been very smooth going so far.

Old Sweat, thanks for the insight! I have never had the opportunity to meet "Lew" but after reading the book, I feel like I know him. He had many examples in his book of how he took care of is soldiers, the best I thought was regarding the '72 Summit Series (I wont get into detail as I don't...

I saw one today on the back of a marked crusier in Hamilton, Ontario, and was very happy to see it!

If it is the Reserve BMQ you are talking about, and  are not able to be loaded on, you will probably not be able to go to parade nights with the Regiment you are trying to get into because most units are in "stand down" for the summer. However, they may have some GD (general duties) you can...
