I'm trying to remember exactly how it played out. I was super anxious too. Just sitting at my desk at work every day waiting for the phone to ring! And when it did, for the first little while, the calls from the CFRC were all because they needed more stuff. Like I said, once they finally had...

Springroll, What is the PDC? I checked in the military terms it, but I couldn't find it. I applied at the end of January of this year. I was held up by paperwork for the first few weeks. They wanted copies of this and copies of that, and some stuff didn't fax well so I had to send hard copies...

Hi, I was sworn in yesterday, but we weren't shown a video. What did I miss out on? Nicole.

Patrick H, When they called you to offer you a position with the CF, you should have been asked your preference about saying "So help me God" or not saying it. If you told them what religion you are, they likely have you slotted for saying: "So help me God". You'll find out for sure when you...

Thanks everyone, this is great advice!!

I fly out to St.Jean in twelve days to start BMQ. I have a quick question: if I'm getting yelled at for not doing something properly, or for some other reason, am I better off trying to explain myself or should I keep my mouth shut and just do it better?

Hi Don,   I really like your story. I'm a big believer in: "If there's a will, there's a way". You obviously have the will. I'm also a big believer that if you aren't happy, do something about it!! Lots of people aren't happy with their jobs either, but they just make excuses for why they can't...

What about a skirt?

I don't own any khakis. I'm a girl. Would dark dress pants be alright?

I'm flying to St.Jean in two weeks. I have a friend who is flying out tomorrow. I asked him this morning what he was going to wear on the flight. He said he probably won't wear jeans. I was totally planning on wearing jeans. Does it matter?

I hope they didn't make a mistake with the information they sent me. Maybe I will call the CFRC.

So when do you get sworn in, Donaill? You initially said the 17, and that you fly out the 28. But you have since learned that you fly out the 27. Has your swearing in date also changed? I get sworn in at Halifax CFRC at 9:30am on the 16.

I'm really not sure. But I can tell you that I had a friend (like ten or twelve years ago) who joined the reserves while he was in high school. He has since joined the reg force, but he never did graduate high school. Talk to a recruiter. They will know for sure.

Thanks dk.

I just found it : Platoon Awaiting Training. Is that right?

What does "PAT" mean?

Donaill, Are you sure you fly out of Halifax on the 28 of August? I'm flying out of Halifax to Saint-Jean on the 27 of August. BMQ is starting that Monday, the 29, isn't it? Also, what trade are you going for? Just curious...

Mover1, I was just reading the post. You mentioned Truro. Are you from there? I live there now. I'm getting sworn in on the 16 in Halifax.

Hi. I'm not going to BMQ in Sept, I just wanted to know what NESOP stands for. I leave for BMQ on Aug. 27, and mine is in St. Jean.

So I get sworn in on the 16 of Aug in Halifax. They fly me out to BMQ in st.Jean on Aug. 27. That's a Saturday. Basic doesn't start until Monday. What do we do for those couple of days? I'm starting to get really nervous. I'm in pretty good shape. I run, walk, bike, swim (occasionally - but I'm...
