Scroll down to Basic Occupation Training and that's what you'll learn on the QL3. https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/services/caf-jobs/career-options/fields-work/administration-support/supply-technician.html Not sure how it will work if you have your wings via Cadets. Supply...

BMQ, BMQ-L (SQ) then QL3 (your basic trades course). If selected for Rigger on your 3's you'll move to your Jump course then your riggers course upon completion. If not selected, you'll be a regular Supply tech. DP-1 is for the Infantry, which a Rigger is not.

I could see that happening since they've already done it with a few trades, I think it would be a good move.

Rigger is a sub trade of Supply Technician, so you'd have to join that trade. Once in the trade they typically do the para PT test during the QL3 to select people for the Rigger positions. Joining doesn't mean you'll get one of those positions, though I know Supply is under strength I'm not sure...

Is it? or is it because of placement of what they actually have tattooed? I rejoined last year and have hand tattoos, including knuckles, and no issues getting back in. EDIT: Missed the part where you mention the recruiting policy change this year. That's a shame if true.

That's a hard questions to answer. I left the Army in 2013, went back to school and worked for a company for just over 4 years before deciding to get back in. I took around 24k a year pay cut to get back in as a Cpl 4. I choose a trade I was interested in and that's the only offer I planned on...

Class C do receive more benefits but most likely your only going to see that contract if your deployed.

Yes. The day you report in is when your pay will start. You'll have to see the OR for pay as it'll all be done manually by them. I had the option of taking cash or direct deposit. When doing direct deposit it takes 3-5 days so I just went in every payday, took the cash and deposited into my bank...

What PuckChaser said. I re-enrolled Feb last year and it took 3 months before I was in the pay system. I was in Wainwright and they paid me in cash.

Yes I did. There is nothing in the dress policy that forbids hand or knuckle tattoos. I actually had them done while I was in before without issue. You just can't get any tattoos on your head, face or ears now, neck and chest have been removed from the prohibited list. I don't think skulls will...

I believe it's handled the same as a posting, though I'm not a clerk and only based on personal experience. When I joined my F&E was put into storage for just over a year. Everything was shipped to my initial posting after my trades training. I'm not sure about movement of trailers specifically.

I assume you got a 4C release? I don't think you should have a problem re-enrolling as long as you don't have any outstanding commitments, though I'm by no means an expert. I did 4 years Reg, released, changed trades and did 4 years in the reserves before I got out completely and spent 4 years...

This. 11 months to get back in after doing 8 years, then sitting on BTL for 12 months waiting for a 3's because we don't have the personnel.

He should be able to use his LTA to cover the cost of one parent. I've used reverse LTA to fly my significant other out to where I am as opposed to flying home to them. Ref: http://www.forces.gc.ca/en/about-policies-standards-benefits/ch-209-transportation-expenses.page Section 5 –...

It's supposed to be 4 references who have known you for 5 years each or since you were 16. Directly from Forces.ca: The recruiting centre can make exceptions.

Ammo Techs do 3 months of EOD as part of our QL3 along with the majority of our 5's. Ammo getting on the IEDD is also pretty rare as most spots are taken by the Engineers and Clearance Divers. I'm told some spots could open up for Ammo in the future. I came from the Crewman trade and choose Ammo...

mariomike is on the ball. I'm told the reason it took so long was because my file had to be sent to Ottawa for review because they had to look at what rank and IPC I'd receive.

You'll still need to pass BMOQ like everyone else and whatever other phase training social workers would be required to do. Social Work officers require V4 vision. Medical standards can be found here...

I re-enrolled last month, own a house in the Edmonton area and currently posted to Wainwright on BTL. I'm not authorized a move until I complete QL3 in my new trade, which can be upwards of 1-1.5 years due to few courses being run in my small trade. My Chief Clerk had to phone the recruiting...

I spoke to the recruiting centre about references when I was re-enrolling last year, I was informed they will accept references that have known you for less than 5 years. The Cpl I spoke to said they don't want to see all references that have only known you for a few months. Having one or two...
