the CAF doesn't care what your prescription is. What you need to effectively compare your eyes to the vision standards is your visual acuity. What is your vision when you look at an eye chart. Are you 6/9? are you 6/60? You need to look at each eye's score individually and then compare tot the...

I would believe my unit. A month ago, there may have been spots available but you were not enrolled yet (or even had an offer tendered to you at that time). Reach out to your unit again and mention that you are available, eager and willing to do the 8 Jul 24 BMQ (if you are) and/or to find out...

It says right in the image you posted to contact your CFRC to proceed to the next step. The process can take up to a year (or more!) to complete. They are trying to speed it up but the green machine moves slowly.

That's likely because what you will do as an FSA is miles apart from what an accountant or other financial services advisor would do civvy side. Military FSAs do travel claims, pay bills, and some other stuff. But they don't really touch the unit's finances or personal finances.

Not gonna lie, given who you tagged in your message, I read BG check as blood glucose check, and couldn't figure out why this is something that would take a while LOL

What toolbox are you referring to?

The staff at BMOQ are gonna have fun with you…

That will depend on your availability and theirs. If you are applying for reg F (full time) you do not do the force test prior to leaving for basic. Only reservists do it prior to enrolment. The medical exam may also need to be reviewed by the RMO in Ottawa, prior to approval.You also need an...

If you have completed all the steps (medical, interview, force test, CFAT) then the rest is a waiting game. You are never guaranteed of an offer, so I would not hold my breath for a summer BMQ this late in the season. Only way to know with more certainty is to contact your recruiter and ask if...

keep in mind at 16 you also need your parents to sign off on your application. You are never guaranteed a job just for applying so depending on how long it takes you to get through all the steps, it can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years from the time of applying to get to BMQ.

Depends on how many applications are received at the same time as yours and how they get sorted when received. That part I don’t know about. Also what you consider normal/healthy and what they consider normal/healthy for military service can be 2 different things. Really looking at anywhere from...

You bring the form to your doctor, have them fill it out, and then return it to CFRC for review. They will forward it to the RMO’s office with your file and if approved, your file will continue processing.

If you are « selected » you will receive an offer soon. They will contact you. Check your email (spam/junk/trash as well as regular inbox) and keep your phone handy.

BMQ is typically offered 2-3 times a year for reserves: part-time in the fall, sometimes part time in Jan/feb, and full time in the summer.

Perfect. It was a thought that drifted through my head in the treadmill and just made me wonder. Thanks for clarifying!

White thread, black thread, a few short buttons, safety pins, sewing needles (any needle works - straight, curved, just not super fine. A needle threader is a good addition. Tiny pair of scissors.

Here’s a thought that just occurred to me… Combat gauze is made with shellfish is it not? Like the protein and combat gauze and quick clot that makes the blood clot some kind of shellfish protein? Maybe that’s why a shellfish allergy is such a big red flag for the RMO.

Do they not issue sewing kits anymore? It used to be an olive drab kit with a Velcro closure that just contains several spools of different coloured threads a couple of needles couple of buttons and needle threader. And maybe some scissors

It’s a shellfish allergy, more specifically shrimp.

That’s not how recruiting works.
