just thought i would add this topic to see if we could get some people to write about there time in fleet school. pros and cons, experiences, tips, funny stories, anything really relating to there time. 

i am pretty sure that u receive the pay of acting leading seaman for the naval electroic technician courses where u would spend approx 2 years in school after bmq and fleet school as opposed to the 20 weeks as a hull tech.  but for a definate answer speak to ure local recruiter

so apparently they have filled there need for the year according to the calgary recruiting office

thankyou for the info, i had a sneaking suspicion it would be like that, i guess it would probably be best fo a guy to put in another trade for a few years and possibly transfer trades when ure commitment is over?

anybody here happen to know if there are many openings for the new fiscal year? 

boourns boatswain is 100% full for this fiscal year

is boatswain full for this year?? i notcied a couple people crossed it off there lists?  any recruiters know forsure??

what recruiting center were u at?  that is incredibally fast, congrats

so i just got off the phone with the calgrecruiting center and they informed me that it was approximately 8 weeks for soldier qualification and 8 weeks for infantry qualification, so total of 16 weeks after bmq, thanks for everyones input

sounds good to me then, i can roll with that answer, thanks alot guys

i definately will, the part that had me confused the most was the soldier qualification length, it says on forces.ca 20 days, on the forums here it says all different numbers and then i asked a recruiter on the forces.ca chat and he said 10 weeks, and then referred me to the forces.ca as the...

yeah thanks smirnoff thats what i was asking, so is it safe to say that as of today soldier qualifiction is officially 20 days and infantry trade training is 17 weeks?  (subject to change of course)

sorry forgot to add that, regular force ncm
