I got my initial whites just a couple weeks ago through Unicorp's website.   I was told you couldnt get them at clothing stores anymore.  I had to use my points to get them which I don't feel is right since they weren't a replacement. I am at the Portand Rose Fest right now and it is very...

On board a ship they are part of the Logistics department.

According to this thread, yes. http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/2254/post-25093.html#msg25093 I don't know much about what Stewards do, but I was talking to a Leading Seaman who just finished his 5's and he mentioned the course was alot of accounting.

It must be different for Reg Force as myself and most of my classmates didn't have Top Secret throughout our QL3.

What do we have to do that involves heights?

We have  "birds" or "defaulters" rooms in nelles block esquimalt as well.  I agree with all of you who say we are too slack, the navy seems to be way too tolerant.

My QL3 we didnt find out untill the last few weeks but other people in other trades seemed to find out much earlier in their course.  No one really had any problems.

Unless you are a diver, if you are in the Navy and in the water, you are probably in deep trouble.  Army guys probably do more swimming than the Navy guys :) I was terrified of the repelling, but I had a good instructor who could tell I was very nervous and said to just yell out the drills (ie...

Do what you are instructed to do...Not everybody showed up on the same day for my basic.

Sig Ops are so short handed that us NavComms are taking your shore billets.

Have the Americans declared war on Pakistan?  Is is just me or does it seem extremely wrong to bomb a country that is your ally??

Timmy Ho's large double cream. As Frank the Tank would say, "once it hits your lips it's so good!!"

When I went through last year they called it "directives". 7 directives and you were recoursed.

They let people in my BMQ remuster around the 4th or 5th week but there was a limited amount of trades available to remuster to.  My advice is don't join unless you are interested in the trade you are signed up for.

I'm an Extraordinary Seaman.

I had the same thing last year (CFAT and fitness test in april/may, basic in November), there was no problem with the aptitude test however I had to redo my fitness test in October before I could go on to Basic. Apparently, the fitness test expires after 6 months.

No NCMs I know have had to take french (or had the option to).  I know I'd jump at the chance to go to french school for 8 months :)

You need level II to begin your QL3, level III to work as a NavComm.  I have been in since last November and CSIS just started interviewing some of my contacts for the level III.

If you are going Reg force I don't recommend getting a new pair of glasses before basic as everyone on my course who wore glasses got new glasses the first week when went to the MIR the first week (For our shots, blood test and eye test). I believe it was paid for by the medical plan.

Haha, you will be punished for an attitude like that, teamwork is what BMQ is pretty much all about.  We had these blue "booties" we put over our combat boots before inspection so that we would not mark up the floor, but of course we took them off before inspection. One day a fellow recruit in...
