If the Queens York Rangers had Coyotes I'd join them in a heartbeat! Trouble is they don't and whoever told you they do, lied.  The only thing the reserves get is the G-Wagon (which isn't too bad really)

Weekend BMQs are normally run every other weekend for several months. You show up on a Friday night at about 1900 and leave on Sunday at around 1600. SQ (or as it's now called, BMQ-Land) can either be done on weekends at your unit, much the same way that BMQ is run, or full time during the...

Why not join the reserves while in high school to see if you even like the military way of life? Like other said it's not for everyone. It would be horrible if you dropped out, went to BMQ and then decided it wasn't for you, and VRed. You can't get vary far without a high school diploma. I know...

If you already have BMQ there's no point in redoing it since it would just be a waste of time. It would be better for you to get your BMQ and trade course done, spend a few years in your unit then transfer over into whatever trade you want and only have to do your QL3. Why do a lot of reservists...

Reserve BMQ is 4 weeks, plus another 4 weeks for BMQ (L).

People stress out way to much about BMQ. Yes it is a new way of doing things and it is a shock to the system. However if you do what you're told and "play the game" you'll be fine. There's no big secret to passing, just do what the instructors tell you to and you'll be just fine. The big thing...

I can't answer the fist part of your question since I don't know how the co-op application process works. However I can tell you that once you are done the co-op (BMQ and BMQ(L) you can stay in if you like and do your DP1 and become a badged member of the unit, or you can leave.

Cheers!  ;D  :cdn:

Nope it was in that little slice of heaven known as Meaford :P Almost the entire course was classroom work learning everything from radio operation to vehicle maintenance to AFV recognition. The last two weeks (give or take a day) was spent driving both cross country and on highways/cities (a...

When I did my PRES DP1 this past summer it was 5 weeks long. 

I'm pretty sure all the showers are open so yes, you will see other guy's junk. However you'll have very little time to shower and won't care what you see. You'll just be focused on getting in, out and ready for inspection/breakfast/whatever.

Weekend BMQ's are normally run out of the local Armory, usually it's at least two weekends a month, but sometimes more depending on the schedule. Typically you show up on Friday evening and go home Sunday afternoon. BMQ(L) is also done at the Armory for a bit but the majority of the course is...

You can do your BMQ (L) on weekends (that's how I did it) I think it depends on where you live though since I've heard of some units not offering it on weekends. I talked to some of the guys on BMQ (L) in Meaford this past July and apparently they were only confined to barracks for the first...

The gas hut wasn't as bad as everyone said it was. As long as you do your drills right it's easy. Kinda funny though, watching people have to go back through it three or four times to get it right.

Don't stress too much about the test, you'll encounter much harder things once in the military. Just review grade 10 math and read a lot and you'll be fine. Math was my weakest area but when I wrote the CFAT they said I did above average on the math section. Use sites like math.com it helped me...

I saw the trailer a few days ago, it looks like it will be good. Here's the trailer:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FpQzwuKdXI&feature=channel_page

I just came back from my 4th weekend of BMQ and there are some differences from what you posted, but that's to be expected. No two BMQ courses are the same. From looking at my schedule, it seems the only time we go on a Field EX is near the end of SQ, with the exception of going to the rifle...

I read that the other day and I was disgusted. The thing that upsets me most? This kid will get off free. "He's too young to be held responsible" is what it said in the article I read. That's total bs. The kid knew exactly what he was doing. He knew it was wrong and should be punished. You know...

Well I didn't get the call and here's why: I called the CFRC in August and found out my security clearance was still outstanding. After that I called back every two weeks and eventually got it sorted out. Since I was born in the states and lived there most of my life it took longer then normal...
