So jobs as a commissionaire are false? I was under an impression that no matter the experience public government jobs were still open to ex-military? Regardless of fact. If you want to kick my warrant in the nuts, your grave. If there were a list and resources which I DID ask for. Disregarding...

Key government jobs? What are they exactly? For example I am in basic and failed/medical or VR. What services can I go out too? The education would be high school diploma at best and unskilled as no one passed basic. They are not being as educational about it. But that's life in basic! I am just...

Where is your unit? I will most likely be posted in halifax, NS. Yep I am navy!

This may be asked, but does a categorized area of such exist? IE: Hello / Goodbye - Section for those joining forums / the forces or those departing for deployment etc? If not would it be a good idea to add such a thing in to help people connect better rather then presumptively add in flamed...

@ Snopes site is... Rather funny for navy humor!

Enjoy your leave! I am intoxicated just by the thought of what it can feel like!

As I initially said speak with a recruiter. They will be the ones to say what you need to prepare for. And there IS co-op programs for schools (High school) so you would have to ask your local HS. PLUS: It pays to be in school because based on courses with the CF, IE: To be a cook you need...

Thanks, Well your going med tech I would assume? Going NCM or Officer? And hey my BMI I do not know what it was but I am somewhere in the 30s or whatever and I passed and am cleared for it. The guy who did my vision, hearing, and scaled my weight said I was.. 230 pounds, and it was good enough...

Last I heard earliest recruitment is at age 16? You need parental consent to do so? If you need true questions go onto forces.ca you can call nearest recruiter OR e-mail them. Either case I would suggest talking to a recruiter.

Well Mine was Booked mid month of Sept. Now I get sworn in on the 1st of October. Deployment into BMQ is Oct 19th. I got fast tracked. So if you will be just as lucky and depending which trade. Chances are after the medical once it is cleared. You will get a call withn a week. I did a no no...

Last I heard they need Armored Core Persons bad!

Thanks VIChrs. Best advice, in Richards case have a beer smile and sleep. But yeah due apologies to everyone. Consider this a closed or deleted thread? I got over myself big time and that wasn't the impression I wanted to give.

Well whatever will be in store for my future, It will be better then my current situation. I have a ok job, however the lifestyle for the armed forces I always was attracted too. Had buddies who are in, some in the states for marines/seals. Never had the guts to really proceed forward until now...

I work at a call centre in which I hate with a passion... I suppose online correspondence will be fine? I just want to branch onto a trade in which I will be happy with. But also be apart of something big.

I am not into the weapons aspect, I just look for advice in which would benefit my navial career. I thought researching what I could somewhat expect would help me mentally prepare for whats around the corner. I know there is nothing I will know once I get there but I am trying to prepare myself...

I will adsorb info yes, But I will only acquire the do's and don'ts, like do not scrape aluminum (stay away from shiny metal) those things.. But what I learn in BMQ will probably be best with on weapon training..

Very true, I just wondered what will help me gain the right experience for NBP. Advice I do take to heart. Being on a ship which would enable me to gaining more experience for NBP. But everything one does reflects heavily on BMQ correct?

I figured as much, and yes what ya are trained for stick with unless ordered to be trained otherwise. I may not know everything but I might as well ask right?

I have read, printed. Noted. Listed reads below: (Printed info on common law, C7 rifle functions. Check list of what to bring. I generally know keep it simple, less complicated which makes it harder on oneself. I have nothing but time at the moment lol.) 20 meter Beep Test: (helps improve on...

Well now, thanks for all the advice, So being navy I will use a C7 for gaurd duty? Or a .50 cal sidearm? So there will be additional training in firearms? And does this mean I am to be licensed or will it add to qualifications? *What is the best way to show I have what it takes to be apart of...
