I've searched but still have not found a definitive answer, so please have patience with me. I am not a military member, I took this name for a girl going through basic. She has just finished her basic and starts her Medic training in January. She still does not know when her SQ starts, and St...

Hi there,  yes on course now, and yes we have kept our apartment.  Thanks for the reply.

Hi IceBlue maybe you or someone else might be able to tell us what the postings are like, you already answered my other question about it being an interesting trade. Thanks for the info.

All I can say is thank you Firefighter that was very well said and I will check out the family resource centre.

Shadow Cat, I wish I knew how to jump to your defence as I feel you certainly deserve it, but I think you and I are still going to be considered outsiders here. Like you I came here only for answers that  we didn't get from recruiting (and I don't believe they lied to us, they just didn't...

Sorry Beach-bum but we were not informed either and I was there for much of the enrollment process, well all that I was allowed to be there for, and we asked alot of questions and each time we were told 10 weeks of BMQ another 16 weeks plus a further 2 in B.C. for trade training, then posted and...

Hey Shadow Cat, if you ask me it's cruel, also why don't they let people know up front so they are better able to make the decision to enter or not. It must be hard on relationships to not only survive the separation but to make decisions about employment, housing, schooling etc. I feel like my...

Don't know how good it is but there is also a 1 year course in Charlottetown through Holland College, with option of another year.

Point well taken Armymedic and I will put this to rest. Once again thanks for the information. Sorry for any confusion.

Well I have the info I was seeking so this "lame" thread can now be shut down and yes Crow I will also pass on your "thoughts" as well.

Thanks for the info and when I said copetitive golf I meant she is good not scratch but close, my mistake and sorry for the confusion. Her work would always come first. Myself and most of her family tried to talk her out of joining but she was determined, she knew no one who was in the military...

Wow! You really took this deep.  She has been told she will basically have no time to golf period, especially the first three years or so.  She only wants to get some games in here and there not to spend the majority of her time golfing, her career of course would come first however she had...

While I appreciate your reply I think it's a bit drastic. So far she is working hard to get through basic and is hearing horor stories and being basic there is no one in athourity she can ask about this.  She loves the challenge she is going through there but has questions about her trade choise...

Reg force that is.

Hi Armymedic, yes is is going Ref force and in 5th week basic now. I'll pass on what you said, I know she'll appreciate it.

Got Ya.......I like my math better though.  :-\

Hi there, hope someone can help. I'm writing this for someone in basic now who can't. She chose medic although she was very close to picking met tech.   After talking with some other recruits who know some medics, they tell her she will be away from home more often than not. She is a competitive...

Well in checking I may be wrong but I added both together came up with 29 divided it by 4 and came up with 7.25 months.  Do you meen I should just look at them as individual courses.

What I don't understand now that I know the training is 16 weeks in Borden and 13 weeks in B.C. that is over 6 months so why would they not allow me to move up to Borden also and have a PMQ.  Thanks for the help everyone.

Hey that would be great. Thanks for the help Armymedic
