Sorry man. When I looked at the thread, there were a bunch of posts and I skimmed at first to see if the answer I needed was there.  Your link was acctually what I was trying to find for quite a while. I knew it was out there, but couldn't find it. I never thought to google it and instead tried...

First off, I did a search and did not fond the answers I needed. Second off I needed to know asap on a sundaay because I am looking at a place to rent in Shawnigan lake this afternoon and have to be able to know if I can afford to live there so I let the owners know if I can take the house or...

Anyone! Like to know in the next 2 hours.  :-\

Hey guys. I am looking to see if anyone can answer this question by tomorrow! I am moving my family from Nanaimo to Victoria and want to know if Shawnigan Lake is considered in area for Esquimalt PLD. Let me know. Thanks!

I can confirm, but also add to that. I was speaking with my boss, and he said that there if you are married, and your spouse lives in the greater Victoria region, than you can possibly get off base even sooner than the 6 months. This is fairly new, and my understanding is that the base is trying...

Cheers!

Nope. CFFSE (Canadian Forces Fleet School Esquimalt.)

Hey everyone, Its been a while since I was last on the site. Just finished up round 2 of BMQ and am now waiting my 3s at CFFSE. I am expecting to be on PAT for 4 months or so, so I would like to know if anyone has advise as to what courses would be the best to take. Thanks guys and girls.

That's a good point! Since we are one force essentially, it should be the same rank insignia for everyone. At least I think it should.

You know, I have to say Cadaren, for someone who has completed your BMQ, and was a former cadet, your sense of what really matters in the course seems to be quite misinterpreted. Eye in the sky gave his two cents, and if I were you, I would really try to take it to heart. If the most you took...

You just need to take a breath man. You sound way too concerned with everything that surounds the course, rather than BMQ it's self. Your situation is probably the same as a thousand recruits before you, so don't sweat the small stuff! Just go into the course, giver your best, and learn as much...

Well it's that time folks. Time to ditch the civi world and earn our way in. See you all tomorrow, and for those who are starting on the 15th, I look forward to being on course with you.  :salute:

After reading this entire thread, I have to say that if someone is the best person for the job, than let them do it, even if that person isn't you. It sucks for some people, but in the end, it is the right thing. If you apply for a position and aren't selected, there IS a reason for it. Also...

Nice Crow.  ;) Thanks everyone for all the insight and shared experiences. To give an update on my status, I have accepted a position as NES OP, and will re-do BMQ starting on the 15th of March, since it has been more than 5 years since I did it last. I am really excited on getting back in and...

I won't injure your pride, as it has clearly been done already, but I will say that I was looking for advice or information, not criticism. If you can't contribute intelligently, don't post on my threads please. Thanks. As for everyone else, thanks. Some of what you mentioned, I was already...

Don't worry fellas, your staffing issues are over. I am on the way!  ;) But in all seriousness, I feel for you all. I have was working a provincial job for the last 2.5 years, and we were constantly understaffed. Not only is it a hit to the operation of the department, but moral and staff work...

Nice post Mad Dog. If I can add something, one of my biggest reasons for getting back into the CF is because of people like you. I left the Army in 2003, and since then, I have worked a bunch of different jobs, none of which offer the esprit de corps that I have only ever experienced in the...

Like the idea myself. I can understand the argument that some people might make about $$ could be put to better use, but this can't really cost that much, can it?

NES OP, btw.
