Thank you for the help Occam. I guess everything can be found out through her, however I believe the main thing he wanted to know was whether or not he could sign up now and potentially be placed on a BMQ during this summer.

Hi there, My friend is looking into joining the Naval Reserve, but it appears that the HMCS Star's website is down - anyone know where to find more information about this specific reserve unit? Thanks for the help.

Thank you for the help...I guess I can still try!

Hi there, I am an Infanteer in the PRes who is going through SQ or BMQ-L at the moment. I know that I can get my University education reimbursed in my final year [I am in my third year now]. However, I want to do flight training towards gaining my Private Pilot's License, or Commercial...

This September I started my reservist basic training, which would happen roughly 2-3 weekends per month for 4 months. Now I am doing my BMQ Land which is another 2-3 weekends a month for 4 months. I am in my third year of full time University...yet I can still find the time to workout in between...

As long as it a recognized degree program you will be eligible, although to the best of my knowledge I think that 4-year degree's are preferred and as such you may have a hard time with selection.

Thank you very much I am completing this now. Also, Rheostatic I have completed my BMQ, I am on the BMQ-Land course now, formerly known as SQ.

Thank you for the help.

I am not sure what an ILP is - I am still doing BMQ (L) at my reserve unit, however they told us we were eligible for reimbursement. Thank you for the link.

Sorry for the hijack here, although I believe his question has been answered. I also want to claim money for tuition reimbursement, yet I was sent a few links for this and none of them have worked. Does anyone here have any?

I think this is an especially important point. On my course the majority of people were good at most aspects of BMQ but suffered in another area [staying awake, PT, drill, weapons handling etc.] This is all to be expected...however on our course we also had a couple people who were not too good...

Just to clarify, most Universities still offer the 3 year BA, however it is mostly for the Humanities and Social Science departments. The four year programs in Humanities and Social Sciences are almost always Honours programs  and are for people pursuing more than one major. Your BA in...

I see this thread has become derailed...I originally wanted the grip because on one of our parade nights I got to clean another soldier's rifle who had a vertical foregrip and it felt more natural to hold the rifle that way. I asked one of my BMQ course staff [a Sgt.] if it was possible I could...

Hey everyone... I'm just a reservist going through BMQ right now but I heard we can buy a foregrip for our rifle's if we choose to for our SQ. I did a quick search at CPGear and Tactowngear but couldn't find one for sale. Anyone know where one can find one that will fit on the C7A2? Thanks...

Although I have no previous experience, I can offer you some small guidance. It seems you want to use your masters degree to become an Officer and get the most of your money...which is completely understandable. However, it also seems you want to do the work of a NCM based on your strong desire...

You're cutting it close anyway, because when I applied back in May they were saying not many people were going to get in for the 2011 Fall BMQ...good news is that you'll get a head start for next year because they were saying they'd enrol people into the 2012 BMQ if there were too many for the 2011.

Right that makes more sense, thank you.

Just to further add, I asked the Cpl. if we were going to be receiving our kit that day and he replied "You will be sided only." No idea what that means....can any army types elaborate for me please?

I don't know I have a friend in the Rileys who says we will parade, but I also heard that we won't be able to parade until we are qualified....so there's definitely some conflicting answers there....either way works for me though.

Yeah I figure all the parties will be going on the Fri-Sun before though...I'm too old to trick or treat, I was just looking forward to the  beers. :cheers:
