I don't think there is a separate BMOQ for reserve officers. We have two 2nd Lts and an OCdt on our course. From there I don't know where the officer specific training goes.

Finished weekend two. What a riot this is! Good challenge throughout the weekends, but the hardest part so far is balancing schedules between work and training and a pregnant wife. I'm going down to 4 days a week starting next week to hopefully prevent burnout. I wish I could have given up the...

recceguy summed up my thoughts on your sentiments regarding terrorists quite well. If you're going to call someone out on their spelling, you should keep your grammar in check too. It's one of those pot and kettle situations.

From the article: So the real reason is available, but rather than wait for it, the two guys jump to conclusions and make a stink in the press. Seems like the kind of level headed judgement we'd want in security screeners... And who the hell would write an article without all the facts? I...

Keith Olbermann calls Rush and Pat on their BS in one quick word. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-PEaWUduCM

^^ Flawed Design, thanks for that. I damn near shot a mouthful of Shreddies all over my laptop.

So are we going to see Aegis ships in the anti pirate flotilla now?

I really enjoyed the Sopranos series, and that lasted 6 seasons. Should keep you busy a while.

Well said. Thanks for highlighting the pros to this program. The successes on your course sound fantastic. I wonder if it would be possible to get overall stats for all the serials of the course? In terms of both sign up rates, as well as retention rates after BMQ.  I'm sure such numbers are...

My BMQ spot is confirmed. Starting 22 Jan, I'll be spending my weekends at CFB Esquimalt, Work Point Barracks. I'm definitely excited about the opportunity, but am a little leary of balancing my work with my training and home life. I'm told one of the hardest things to do is turn on the swear...

I watched the aforementioned show about that boat, and am definitely sad to see it go. Very good story behind it, and a crafty crew got it around the world in record time. Doubly sad that it was lost to an act of sheer ignorance after all it went through on it's record run. As for the...

You make it sound like there's something wrong with that girl. I always looked at her as being dependable, something of a sure thing. Maybe the mucky mucks can just learn to appreciate the ugly chick at the bar come 3am.

Please tell me the answer to this question isn't a factor in your decision to apply for a reserve job.

Thanks all! Touché

Oh sure, bring that up... Redheads run in the Scottish side of my family too. Hell I've even got a red beard, at least when I'm not at the armoury. I don't think I could handle a redheaded daughter. Though I figure if I am cursed with a hot daughter, I'll just be sure to spend a lot of time in...

Dropped a steamer in the gene pool a while back, and today I saw the little bugger for the first time. My wife is about ten weeks along, and we got to see a couple of little legs on the blob, and could hear a very steady - albeit fast - heartbeat. First kid for us, and the first kid from my...

I had a fantastic experience on my honeymoon this February at the Grand Sirenis  Riviera Maya - http://www.grandsirenisrivieramaya.com/ - and would happily recommend it based on the super clean facilities, gargantuan rooms, good food, lively entertainment and absolutely amazing snorkeling beach...

I'm going to forward this one to my father in law, who volunteered to go to Vietnam, and see what he thinks of Mr. Kilmer's assertions.

A fair dig at the BC Ferry Corp for sure!
