    CFB Shilo June 28 + July 3

    The June 28 course goes to Aug 14, the July 3 goes to Aug 20. So sounds like they were giving you the generic dates they were giving me for booking off work. I've got a nice info package including flight dates and times but its info for both departures, they still don't know which one I'm on.

    Winter BMQ

    The way the reg and res recruiting threads are mixed in here its confusing. Regular Force BMQ goes on year round, as soon as your processing is finished for regular force, you'll be "Merrit Listed". Depending on how you did on your CFAT, interview, and physical your "Merrit Score" will be...

    Winter BMQ

    If you are applying Reg Force APPLY NOW! Your processing may be done in as little as 6-8 weeks but you may not receive a job offer for a very long time. You can always update your physical a month or two after your original one if your scores improve that much.

    I've heard the dryness/heat is pretty bad. But what doesnt kill you only makes you stronger. Right? ..... right?

    CFB Shilo June 28 + July 3

    I am a sig op, yes. I'm sure you'll make it Kurbo, if you're just waiting on medical clearance, barring any unseen problems. If more reply to this thread let me know what date you're going on, if the thread dies just PM me. Or I'll do the same for you if I find out the exact date first.

    CFB Shilo June 28 + July 3

    Who all is heading on these 2 BMQ/SQ courses? I'm on one of the two courses but apparently won't find out for another week or two. Anyone else slated for these?

    Running: Training, Problems, Techniques, Questions, etc

    I sure hope you can run a 8:30 km, miles are actually longer and depending on how you‘re measuring some people just like to do it in miles. The treadmill I use is in miles so thats what I base my results on. 1.5 miles = approx 2.4 km.

    Regular or Reserve

    Wow Jonsey, I was in software engineering at mohawk as well (I‘m assuming you‘re talking Mohawk since you‘re from Hamilton). I‘m a sig op with the 705 being sworn in tomorrow. I was extremely frustrated with our 2nd semester of S.E. as well, it had me wanting to change my application to the reg...

    Who tells you your accepted?

    My experience is the same as Da_man. The Corporal that I have been talking to at the CFRC notified me. Just told me I had a summer position and that I needed to be at the armouries on Thurs at 1900h. Couple questions I didn‘t expect. Kind of daunting the first question they asked (even before...

    Signaller‘s - Training, Promotion, Retention, Employment

    Thats interesting, know of any particular reason why Sigs are like that? One of my friends doing his 3‘s atm is considerring a CT, so I may be able to let you know if he has to do BMQ/CAP on a transfer soon.

    Signaller‘s - Training, Promotion, Retention, Employment

    That is quite useful information that I had never heard before willy! Thanks, my intention was always to get my diploma in either software engineering or network administration before I would go reg. I should hopefully be at least QL4 qualified by the time I am done my diploma. By "keep all...

    Signaller‘s - Training, Promotion, Retention, Employment

    Thank you for the answers Willy. My interviewer and the Sgt that recruited me were upfront about network administration and such not being available until (much) higher ranks. Still I quite like the job description ;) Lots of decisions to make, but prolly put them off until after next summer...

    The Election

    The 2 billion+ deficit is non-existant. Even the liberal party members I‘ve heard interviewed on can‘t keep the numbers the same. The statement by McGuinty was merely a projection of what the deficit would be IF the Liberals continued on their spending course without raising taxes/implementing...

    Signaller‘s - Training, Promotion, Retention, Employment

    Hello! If some current/former sig ops could answer some of my questions I‘d be very thankful. I‘m 19, going into 2nd year of a computer (software engineering) college program. I‘m doing basic/sq for R215 this summer in Shilo, and am pumped about it. So hyped that I‘m looking into the reg...

    Thinking outside the box (re: D-Day)

    Nothing was said about the men staying on board the ships multiple days. If they were flown to the UK, boarded the ship there and sailed for the crossing they‘d be off after several hours. Yes, there would be waivers.. but it would be a nice show of respect and good PR.

    Medical Failure

    Correct me if I‘m wrong, but V4 vision is only classified to you when you can‘t read past the top line of the chart without glasses on? So a corrected prescription will unfortunately not help you on the V4 uncorrected category. Again, correct me if I‘m wrong. If you‘re so determined to join...

    will i make it for the summer?

    It takes at *least* 4 weeks from when you do your medical to get the results back. If you can get it done ahead of 4 weeks from your coursing date theres a possibility, but so much else comes into play.. security check etc. Just keep pushing and have faith that your unit wants you to make it...

    Previous drug use question 2002 - 2018 [Merged]

    CFRC didn‘t contact any of my references. But, I have lived at the same street address for the past 14 yrs and have only been to 1 primary school, 1 high school, and 1 college with 3-4 jobs so I assume my reliability check was fairly easy. Also I began the application process in November, due...
