But if he knows there is a 3 or 6 month gap between the BMQ's, then he can make a commitment during that time period, since he would know there is no chance of being selected during that time period. Nobody is here thinking we will get chosen for the closest BMQ, you are misunderstanding us...

It can help him because he might be looking at some other commitments in life, such as a temporary job, volunteering, upgrading his education etc. If he knows when the dates for BMQ are, he can plan his life out according to those dates so he doesn't commit to something, and then find out there...

Im trying this pushup increasing technique over the next 3 weeks hoping to see some improvements in my total pushup ability: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqHg-aaUQzI Basically his suggestions is to to "Diamond Pushups" to exhaustion, wait 30 seconds, "Standard Pushups" to exhaustion, wait...

And both my local recruiter and the staff members at the virtual recruiting center told me that calling and emailing wouldn't get my application moved faster, and I would be processed based on when my application was received (subject to recruiting needs). To quote the Sergeant directly from his...

Would you hope Canada gets into a war with China under some other circumstances related to CFAT or IQ testing? Or was this just a random "thought of the day" you decided to leave us with?

Unless you have some sort of underlying medical condition which would likely preclude you from CF employment, I don't see why you can't be the guy who can lift two soldiers on each shoulder and carry them out of a battlefield. If you bulked up to around 340 pounds with a proper diet and training...

A lot of people complete their interview the same day as their medical. Other people are waiting 3-5 weeks. So its going to depend entirely on your recruiting center. They might even wait til medical clears before the interview. It seems each recruiting center, or even each case, can be...

Remember that the Canadian Forces isn't just about defending Canada. You may be told to go kill someone who has never even heard of Canada, and poses no threat to anyone in Canada and never will. You don't have to want to kill people, but before making your application, I would say to make sure...

Don't even worry about it man. You were just curious and throwing some questions out there trying to learn more. People are gonna hate on you even if you are the greatest soldier in the world, just because they can. There is absolutely nothing wrong with trying to learn more, and trying to get...

Which one is easier to get in to depends entirely on the time your application gets processed. In general, I think infantry has the most new positions hiring because its such a big trade, so that would probably be the easiest to get in to. But again, it all depends when you apply and when your...

Well updating resume and updating qualifications/application are very different things to different people. If I was him, I would assume you mean to tell them where you are currently employed or something like that, and he probably wouldn't care where you are currently employed. So, I can't say...

There is definitely a ranking system. That's why competitiveness matters, and if you really want your position, keep updating your education/leadership experience/volunteering and tell the recruiting center staff so they can update your file and potentially move you up higher on the list.

I know, a lot of us dread having to keep calling them over and over, that's why I say try to just email them instead of calling. Calling takes a lot more time and effort usually from the people on the other end, but if you email, it allows them to check it and reply at their convenience. Some...

I don't think the search is going to help, since Amy112 does seem to be confused, and might not know what to search for, and might not understand what they read. So I will try to help. What courses at college are you planning to take? Who said you have to get your "BMQ"? What is it you think...

Don't be afraid to shoot your recruiter an email directly with a question like this. Nobody here has access to your file (well, some MIGHT, but that's not likely going to happen), so they can't give you a reasonable idea if this would actually be a benefit for you. Your recruiter should be able...

Small update from me, because it applies to your situation. I had my file sent to my local CFRC on Tuesday, May 21, and I already got my security clearance/personal data verification forms today May 24th. Now I am confused about filling out the forms, so I am off to read through all the threads...

Thanks for the Update. I was contacted last week and after getting them some extra paperwork, I was told I wasn't competitive enough for the trades I selected, one of which was Airborne Electronic Sensor Operator. So I gave them a list of other trades, and got forwarded to the local CFRC today...

Warrior Platoon is where they keep you off the regular courses and you just work on getting physically fit so you can pass the tests. However, if you BOMB your tests so badly, you don't even qualify to go on that. Here is the info on that...

Wait for a decision if they will process your application or not. Your local recruiting center will be the one to send you the forms and ask you to fill out and bring in the reliability screening forms.

Hey everyone, just a small update. Someone from the CFVRC emailed me today, it wasn't great news but not terrible. They were letting me know that from the information they have, it doesn't appear I meet the education requirements for my trade selections. I do meet them, but unfortunately when I...
