Just got bumped up to Selected today - hoping for August 8th, BMOQ

Hello, It's been a few years since I was on. I enrolled in 2017 and VR'd from BMOQ in June 2017. I took the past four years and got myself into some decent shape, and applied again. I applied September 14th, 2021 and was put on the CL for Naval Warfare Officer, today (November 19, 2021) - it...

Good luck to you Deskjockey43! I will still be at BMOQ when you come to St. Jean (not scheduled to graduate until August) so perhaps our paths will cross in person!

Thanks Ayrsayle!  I appreciate it.  Sometimes I think we get so stressed about being there we forget to learn and try to have a good time or at least to make the most out of the stressful time we will have. 

Hi Natoba, I'm working out as best I can while working 8-10 hrs a day.  Running is my weak spot.  I jog a lot, up to 2K a day, but am not particularly great at running fast or long distances.  What standard should I be pushing myself to for running?  Are there other cardio building exercises I...

Hi Natoba, I do not have specific questions, but would like to benefit from your advice.

That is one EPIC beard Swally! I want to do a moustache, but I have what I call the "reverse Hitler".  I cannot for the life of me, grow hair right under my nose.  If they brought back regs allowing mutton chops, I could rock an epic pair of those, but I fear the styles of the Duke of...

Huzzah! Hopefully you won't be stuck on the merit list as long as this DEO candidate has been! Congrats Deskjockey43.  This is a very proud accomplishment.  I have been following your post regularly, so though we don't know each other, I feel a great sense of pride for you today. Please...

The next one is in May, then I think for DEOs there is nothing until September. I think for you ROTPs there are some during the summer.  I'd contact your recruiting centre to find out for sure. Good luck!  I'm still waiting for mine... [:D

I hope the process goes fast for you DJ.  I've been in the queue a year and a half now, due to some bureaucratic delays.  Today the selection board for my trade sits, so I am hoping to finally get the notice for when I leave.  However, in the meantime, I too am trying to improve my fitness.  I...

I want to thank everyone for their responses so far.  I am at work, so cannot write a great deal right now, but will respond later to more of the comments. Chrispa, I had a seminar with Terry when I was at Laurier back in the day.  At that time, there was a need for military historians as Jack...

Thanks for respond YZT580.  I completely agree.  I have no kids of my own, but have taken my nieces and nephews on excursions to Fort Henry and Fort York, as well as the National Air Force Museum at CFB Trenton and the War Museum in Ottawa.  I also agree with you about our education system and...

Hello, This is the first time I've posted outside the recruiting forums, but the announcement yesterday that Mackenzie King and Borden will be taken off our $50 and $100 bills respectively makes me a little saddened that even more of military history is being erased from the public face.  I...

Hi AbdullahD, I wish I could take a break from the running!  LOL, I am more of a weights guy then a cardio guy, so I am struggling with my runs.  My best friend (who is RCMP) and my girlfriend are both runners, so at least I have some people to push me along. I'm still in the process of losing...

Look after yourself AbdullahD and push yourself, but stay within the limits of health. I had a cold that developed into bronchitis, but I still did hard workouts--and it turned into walking pneumonia because I was pushing my lungs too hard.  Avoid that stress fracture by giving yourself time to...

I too have been following along Deskjockey 43!  Having worked the civilian side of the bureaucracy for about 7 years, I am now experiencing it again on the military side, and so its good to hear from others that share my frustration with the fuzzy wall.  I really hope that you get through all...

Finally was merit listed.  My recruiting centre said I should be good for the December 12th selection board and that I should hopefully be able to go in January or February 2017 for BMOQ.

Yes, Sgt. Lean posted in another forum that Jan 20, 2017 is almost filled and they are starting to fill February 20ths now.  I wonder if there will be one in March, or if I have to wait for another fiscal year to start.  Oh well, keep waiting, working, and working out :).  I want to serve more...

Good afternoon, Does anyone know when the 2017 BMOQs are?  I know there is one January 16th, 2017.  Have the dates for February to April 2017 been released yet? Thanks for any assistance provided :)
