    BEW inserts- will CF pay for class A members

    The way it worked for me was that called the local base support unit, brought the form in with a valid prescription and then we received them a few weeks later. This was a process all initiated solely by the member. The CoC provided the initial phone number. That being said on my SQ when some...

    Questions about joining the Reserves

    I'd bring everything. Some of it you won't need I.E ICE Pants/ICE Jacket, Winter gloves, Toque etc because it is summer. But on my basic we had to show that physically had every piece of kit we signed for.. I'd pack it smarter, like i'd throw all of the obvious winter stuff in the barrack box...

    Battlefield 1

    Eh, I'll wait for the release. Knowing EA half it will be DLC and the game will cost double the listed price... It is cool that a game from this time period has been released. I personally wouldn't mind another WW2 shooter or a 1942 relaunch as well, but we will see...

    The Land Operations Temperate Boots (LOTB)

    I wouldn't, that'll depend on your staff. If they say you can, go for ir. But I'd honestly wait until after basic. Likewise does your home unit allow non issued boots?

    Leave - Recall and Other Issues [MERGED]

    When would a CLS A member have to submit a leave pass? Maybe my unit works differently, but I've never filled out a leave pass. (I do inform my COC via email whenever I go outside of the area for more than a day and a give as much contact information as possible in case something were to happen).

    Possibly a unique situation, some advice please.

    My sister had enough time doing a masters while working full time at Starbucks. I wouldn't advise it in The slightest. The last thing I would want to on a trades course is extra work. That being said apply now. When/if you get an offer go to your school and say "I have an employment...

    Retire from CAF and entering Fed PS [Merged]

    This is excellent advice thanks. I should get on with networking, I have a contact within the main professional organization for my field and I'll send her an email later. After work right now I'm practicing my French and doing physical training. But yes I agree I need to network more. Likewise...

    BMOQ Regular Force 2014 - 2017 [Merged]

    My BMQ-L (2012) was pretty go-go. 5Am - 9pm sometimes 11pm was the norm. To be honest I loved it. As for phone calls etc. Cell Service was terrible, I'd only get two bars between two tents in 2m x 2m grid (don't ask why).  So I sent emails to my ex (gf at the time) and she would receive them...

    Retire from CAF and entering Fed PS [Merged]

    How does one do that? I currently work on mainly internal projects, in a small team and get very limited to people outside of my Team let alone organization. I am qualified in another pool already, but I don't expect to see an offer from that department. I don't want to be that guy who is just...

    Retire from CAF and entering Fed PS [Merged]

    When you say "How" are you saying like what to say in the interview? Put on the resume etc. If you have secrets I'm all ears. Every time I try to fill in a gap of experience with military related experiences I always fail the question, or score poorly.

    What coloured handle Esee CM6 to buy?

    Personally I'd get the green. The black seems too dull and I don't see the gray staying gray.

    Transport restrictions on Service Air

    The one time i flew with military (civy charter) , they specifically talked about jet boils and how you couldn't bring them. (They referring to traffic techs) The fuel was the issue from what I recall. We flew on a civy airline but traffic techs cleared us before hand. Funny enough, I didn't...

    Questions about joining the Reserves

    You will have to go "full time". For some point. Different course vary depending on the trade. ACISS is 2 months, Infantry is 2 months (2 1- month modules). It is possible to so your basic and your BMQ-L (formerly known as SQ) part time on weekends. However your DP 1.0 (formerly known as QL3)...

    BMQ Reserves 2010 - 2017

    I wouldn't ever plan on going into a course and expecting a weekend off. If you get one great, if not it isn't the end of the world. I personally never "lost" a weekend (Though there are several times when I felt that we as a course should have...)  but on my 3's we had to work ever other...

    Questions about joining the Reserves

    The best would be to contact the unit specifically. I don't know the exact sequence for officers but for most Army NCM Trades Your trades training would be something like this: Course 1: BMQ (Basic training this should be roughly 26 training  days or 11 weekends), Course 2: BMQ - L (Old name...
