Congrats to you Lil_T!  I had complete faith in you and knew you would be successful!  Best of luck on your QL3!  (It will be much more relaxed than BMQ, but staying professional is key. :))

For those wishing to transfer from Reg to PRes, make sure you contact the unit or units you are interested in applying to first and foremost.  You can only transfer if there is a position available in your target trade.  This is one of the differences between the Reg Force and the Reserves. ...

Hi there, There are lots of moms (and dads) in the military.  I'm the mom of a now 11 y/o girl and I joined initially two years ago this month. It's been a long process.  I'll give you a brief synopsis of my journey: I left basic training halfway through on my first attempt due to illness and...

Thanks for all the input. Lots of food for thought. I'll think on it over the holidays and see how I feel in the New Year. As for the reservist and EMAA, I am a bit confused. I am a reservist and have an EMAA acct. Do you not have access to a DND computer? Do you have DND email? All the...

Difficult to deal with in what way? The OR clerks are responsible for updating PeopleSoft with your info, so if there is incorrect and/or missing info on your MPRR, you need to let them know exactly what needs to be changed and keep sending reminders (it gets busy in an OR). Your best bet is to...

Yes, but that's 40 hours plus a second job I do two evenings a week plus volunteering with my daughter's Girl Guide troop...it sure feels like a full dance card to me.  :blotto: By the way, I am less familiar with the promotion policy (i.e. if it differs) for Army because I know that the...

According to my superiors, this is incorrect. If you are trade qualified to QL5A, have your two years' seniority, and you are not doing an OT as well, there should be no rank relinquishment upon doing a CT to Reg F. Like really, you do know that not all reservists are one-night-a-week...

Try keeping up with the paperwork and administration of everyone in your unit. ;) 

Petamocto, as a member of the Primary Air Reserve, I find your comments on this thread to be condescending and disrespectful. First and foremost, most reservists spend time in the Reg F at some point during their careers. Many are annuitants, a myriad of others start out as reservists and do a...

:rofl:

I tried to take advantage of this deal for myself and my daughter, especially with the $10 fare for kids 11 and under (it would cost next to nothing for the 2 of us to travel and I knew she would love the adventure of taking the train). However, it seems there are only selected trains that the...

Some clarification on your clarification. :) The Air Reserve does not do weekend BMQ. They do Reg F training, BMQ, QL3, and beyond...the works. This is because Air Reserve units usually have Reg and Res members working alongside one another and so we need to have the same training. It does make...

Hey TFLY, Sounds like you are following in my footsteps (Air Res RMS Clk). ;) It's a good trade, especially if you are a people person, and in spite of the hiring freeze, RMS clerks are still badly needed in the Air Reserve. In fact, we are probably losing more AR clerks now than before because...

Well, Count, I just finished my QL3, and you'll be happy to hear that they do teach manual pay now, and for way more than 1.5 hours. There is even a 3-hour exam on manual pay alone. (CCPS is taught also, but later on in the course, and separately. It is tested separately as well.) I am pleased...

I'm not sure about the French courses, but I've heard the English courses are all filled up for April. They are loading the September courses now. Normally, you can access the trg schedule by clicking the CFSAL link from the master schedule page (see hyperlink following) to see when courses are...

I am going to infer from this, then, that it is our CO making that decision at our unit. I'm pretty surprised that it's not an actual policy for all reservists, however. Interesting. Not a day goes by that I don't learn something new.  8)

Let me know if you come up with anything. Thanks. :)

Count, sort of a comment/question: I was told by my CC that we reservists need to be medically fit to be offered a Class B contract. True? Wouldn't that also apply to Class A, though, and if not, why not?  ???

Ah, ok. Well, perhaps things have changed NCMS, too. Not sure why an officer at a CFRC would tell him that otherwise. :st.patty:

Are you going in as an officer candidate? I've been told that things have changed for officers-to-be wrt WFT. I'll forward this thread on to someone who will have more info on that.
