Well, 3 day's until take-off! Just finished my security clearance and autobiography yesterday. Been a jam packed week that pretty much flew by. Enjoying the sleeping in while I still can haha. See you guys out there!! All the best, Luke.

Wow, I haven't touched this thread since February. I guess I'll put in one last update and sumarise everything as best as I can for other people going through this... After the countless calls and letters from the RMO in Ottawa, I finally got testing done and found out I wasn't allergic to bee...

19 Days!!! Woooooot!! Sorry, I'm pumped haha

Nice, I swear in Next thursday (the 11th) and fly out from Pearson Airport on June 28th for the June 29th course. See you guys there!

Surprise Surpise, another completely uncalled for post by CDN Aviator. Seriously, you're doing the same thing in the June BMQ thread. Have you noticed the replies to your previous posts there also? Why do you even bother posting in the Basic Training section, especially if you have nothing good...

There really isn't a reason to speak to someone like that. Like you said, "It's not rocket science" so maybe consider the fact that he only knows of HIS OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. In his mind, he would have easily thought that everyone gets the pre-enrolment package before they swear in and was...

To the eyes of the Criminal Code of Canada, marriage/common law are virtually the same thing as well. Minus a few rules pertaining to testifying in court against your spouse. airmich: If you lived together for at least a year prior to moving on the military base.. would that not make you common...

Well there are courses starting every week essentially but as far as which one you will be on is anybodies guess. Like I said, judging by the post's in these threads different CFRC's will be giving people different weeks to start on the same day. My guess is that it's how fast that specific CFRC...

When you get the call they will not offer you several dates. They will explain what the offer is exactly and that the start date for the next BMQ course available is such and such a date. You have the option of saying that you can't start until a later date if you have personal or work related...

I've noticed this quite a bit as well. I'm from Barrie, Ontario. A friend of mine who is in the Infantry PPCLI has given his parents 3 different sets due to them being stolen off their cars. It's ridiculous, not to mention he is now preparing for his second tour in Afghanistan this September...

If it's any help... I was going through the Barrie CFRC. Seems like it's different with every CFRC. Everyone seems to be getting offers on the same day for completely different start dates (example: Page 3.. 2 people called on the same day, one for June 8th BMQ, one for June 28th). I know you've...

Thank you, PmedMoe! haha

I agree with Korabian, walkhard. Call them and ask them if you've actually been merit listed. On that note.. Just recieved the call!! 29th June course #0262 Infantry PPCLI. Flying out on the 28th from Pierson Airport in Toronto  :) I'm so pumped!!! Finally!!!!!

I hear ya Lil T. My understanding was that people normally get a call very soon after being merit listed. Guess not.

Wow. At this rate I'll be going in late July... Was merit listed last Tuesday, still no offer for the Infantry. Why is it that some people are getting offers for the end of June and others for the start of June on the same days? Does it really depend that much on which CFRC you're going through?

Hey guys/gals, Just got a call from a friend of mine who is on his 7th week in Quebec right now. He mentioned that there is a lot of talk about BMQ being reduced to 10 weeks out there. Now.. is it my understanding that it used to only be 10 weeks? Or was it 11? I forget the exact number...

Congrats and good luck guys! I spoke with my file manager today as well. Apparently they're already loading up the June 22nd course.. they're filling up the month of June quite fast. I was Merit listed yesterday and was told I would hear "within two weeks" about a job offer/swear in date. I was...

Seems like everyone's getting all sort's of answer. Guess it's just best to wait it out until everyone starts getting called. I was told specifically today that if I don't get a call from someone by May 15th to call the CFRC in Barrie again because there's no way I shouldn't have an offer for...

Went down to the CFRC here in Barrie an hour ago to check what was going on with my file. I've been merit listed today and for anyone wondering, I was informed that April is full up and they've already started calling people for June BMQ. Looks like nobodies going anywhere for another month or...

See the type of chinups the woman is doing in this pic? These are MUCH easier to start off with, Lil_T. If you have any of these "hammer curl style" chinup bars in the gym you go to then go ahead and use them. This style of bar engages the bicep's more and allows them to assist the Lat's much...
