I'm half way through BMQ, so here are my pointers. I'm just going to be general. Work on building up your endurance because you will need it. One thing some of our staff likes to do is (if someone fucks up) is have us all hold the push up position or plank or dead cockroach. Doesn't sound too...

A little update! I just got home for my Christmas leave yesterday. The first 6 weeks are tough. I'm not going to lie. They are going to try very hard to break you. They like to play mind games. But you just need to keep your head held high and push through. I haven't lost too many people from...

It depends on your staff. My staff doesn't seem to care if it's portrait or landscape or if it's 5x7 or if it's even an actual picture. One woman in my platoon has a drawing that her kids made for her. Your staff may ask about the picture, they may not. Just don't sweat it. It's just a photo.

I submitted my application mid-march of this yr, was contacted a few days later. Cfat was done in April, then interview in August and medical in late September. After the medical everything moved really fast. I don't even know when I was merit listed because just days after Thanksgiving I got my...

It is possible he could get picked up for the late Nov selections. I only had my medical at the end of September and was initially told I wouldn't get selected until November if all went well and there were no hiccups. I was told at best I would be merit listed after 3 weeks. Well just 3 weeks...

There is no real "standard" when it comes to wait times. I applied in March, wrote my CFAT in April, Interview in August, Medical in September, job offered in October and told I'm leaving in less than 2 weeks! Other people go much quicker, like my brother who's application process only took...

It has been a whirlwind of emotions. I'm thrilled and excited! But at the same time I'm sad to be leaving so soon. I gave my work my notice this morning, which was hard. I love my job, I love the people I work with and I'm sad to be leaving. But I'm also super stoked to be starting this new...

I don't know. They haven't told me whats going on yet. Only that I leave on the 25th.

So I just got the call. I swear in next week and head to BMQ on the 25th!

I just got my offer! Will be there for the 27th!

I'm having some serious mixed feelings. Part of me is happy and over the moon! While the part of me is freaking out. My employer doesn't know, and I know they wont be happy to lose me so soon. But I've been waiting for this for so long! But then with such short notice, it means I have less time...

They didn't say when or if they would call back, but I've been glued to my phone all day regardless! I just hope they call soon...I'm going a little crazy not knowing.

A little update of sorts. I got a phone call from my RC which leads me to believe I've been merit listed. They were asking if I was offered a position for AVS would I be able to make it to the Oct 27th BMQ, or would it be too soon for me. They had some spots left to fill for that intake and were...

I got a very random call from my RC this morning asking if Oct 27th would be too soon for me to go to BMQ. She said they still had some spots to fill for the 27th intake and they were calling recruits to see how many could make it. I said Yes I could, it's a little soon but I'd make it work. I...

Little Update here So I think I'm merit listed? I got a call from my RC asking if I was selected for AVS, would I be able to attend the BMQ scheduled for October 27th. Apparently they still have some room for recruits and they're calling to see if anyone would be able to make it for then. I...

A little update: I had my medical a week ago. I think it went well? Although I discovered I have low blood pressure. It took him 3 tries to finally get it. Afterwards I found out from my mother that low bp runs in her family. It wasn't dangerously low, I didn't have any other problems besides...

I guess it depends from case to case, but I think for the most part it shouldn't be a problem. My brother fractured his wrist in high school and broke his collar bone (which require surgery to fix) and he's currently finishing up phase II of pilot training :)

I ticked off "Do Not Contact" for a couple of mine, it wasn't brought up at all in my interview. With me, one company I worked for had closed up so I didn't have a contact person. The other is for my current job, as they don't know about my application and I plan to keep it that way until I get...

I wouldn't worry about "the whole tell me about yourself" bit. I don't remember being asked that thankfully. I hate when interviewers ask that! So I know the feeling, lol! Like I said, it's mainly just reaffirming the information on your application. If anything has changed, like you got a new...
