Hey mike, looks like we're going to be in the same course at Fort York for this summers BMQ. I have the exact same dates for enrollment, kitting, and BMQ arrival at 6pm at July 19th. I'm as nervous as you are bud!

Apart from the things you listed, I'm bringing... - Small Toiletry Case (To hold the toothbrush,shampoo,soap,etc for hygiene) - 4 locks (Email told me to bring 4...) - Nailclippers - Laundry detergent and coins (No laundry machine on base at Fort York..We have to go out of base) - Lint rollers...

Just curious, what are you guys bringing asides the given kit?

I was supposed to be on the July 13th course for Meaford but got bumped to July 20th at Fort York Armoury :( Good luck to you bud! Make the best of Meaford :)

I was expecting to be at Meaford this summer, but I've been given course dates for my BMQ and BMQ-L for July 20th to Sept 4th at the Fort York Armoury (Full-time). I didn't know they held it full time at fort york armory. Anyone else been on the same train? Anything to expect?

So ends my dreadful application process. I've finally been given the green light. Is anyone else on the July 20th BMQ course? (Toronto RC) Recruiting Centre: Toronto Regular/Reserve: Reserves Officer/NCM: NCM Trade Choice 1: ACISS Application Date: September 2014 First Contact:  March 13th...

Well.. Beers on me if I get coursed in the future?  :cheers:

Hi I've read several threads on the basic para courses, but are all from 4-7 years ago. And I wanted to know the 'Non-Physical' requirements of eligibility to apply. I realize I'm way ahead of my game to even be asking this question, but I'm just curious because I've always had a keen interest...

Completely agree on the fact that the FORCE test is a flipping joke, and the only real way to fail it is if you're incredibly unfit or failed to listen to the proper testing instructions. To put it into perspective, I had a AC Joint Sprain on my shoulder two days before my testing, and managed...

I may be coursed at meaford this summer as well. Have you gotten your course date yet? I'm either going to be on June 29th or July 13th, but at this point it's looking like it'll be on the July 13th.

I had a question. For reserves, is the initial eligibility for promotion from Pte to Cpl two years as opposed to the four years for Reg Forces? If so, how come it's like this?

Update: Well after nervously waiting a month and a half to hear the results on my medical (Injured my shoulder), I called in and my recruiter told me he just signed off on it and is beginning the reliability screening now and told me I'd be getting a call for a position by next week, and be...

We all have minds that produce unpopular opinions, some...are best left kept inside! Best of luck to you in your journey sir!

I have a mild-case of this as well, but have broken out of my shell. How? Ever since about 4 years ago, I was constantly around people, a very small percentage of my nature's callings would be spent in privacy. I was like you...I'd be taking a #2 in a stall, and I would hear someone coming in...

Aim high with a goal in mind, and you will get there eventually! Good for you buddy!

Hey Chris, I read through your blog, I really hope you get cleared out of the application phase, it can be a drag.. I believe you can post those in the 'Personal Stories' section, should be safe!

I've been told by multiple staff members at the CFRC that RegF get priority on med/interview. As for his file going missing I was just guesstimating and stated it as 'probably', because its a common reoccurring incident in the recruitment process. Sorry for the confusion.

I think it also depends if you are going PRes or RegF, I believe they prioritize RegF applicants. Probably while prioritizing RegF applicants, your file got pushed aside and forgotten, do call or make an appointment!
