    Ive done my interview already, in regards to Recruit School by pass you have to have 100 days of class B time, according to the recruiters handbook.  I dont know about by passing other courses, since that didnt apply to me.

    BMQ / BMOQ - Medical, Dental, Mental health questions [Merged]

    Don't worry to much about needles, there is a chance you wont have to get any of them during reserve BMQ.  Just hope you are one of the lucky ones to get them.  Since I never did, and am hoping they weren't to important.

    The Reserve Thread- A Merged Collection of Q & A's

    If you want to join the full time army in a year and a half then dont join the reserves.  The reserves teach you alot and its lots of fun, but transfering is a pain in the butt and will take you at least a year to complete.

    Delaying enlistment

    I just had to give you a heads up, because I would have changed from reserves to regs if I had known what i know now. BTW its now about 7 months since I handed in my memo to CT, and my medical and interview (the only two things i have to do) are hopefully being booked next week.  Just to give...

    Delaying enlistment

    1. The easiest and smartest thing in the end would be to just join the full time army , get your training done through the army, and have a good life. Or 2.  go to college for a year, join the reserves, try and component transfer (which will take forever and make you want to stab yourself in...

    A few BMQ questions, looking for non-biased opinions/anwers

    It sounds like you are saying that eating 3 meals a day will starve you. Is that true?  Because you can eat as much as you want during those 3 meals a day, and by the second day you will be able to eat faster, just because you are hungry. BMQ , SQ and BIQ are all a month long. (about 4 weeks long)

    Interview advice (merged)

    Bring a bottle of water and drink it all during the CFAT portion, or whatever they do before the urine test, because it will save some time :)

    Component Transfer ( CT ) - Reserve to Regular

    I have a question about what happens to your papers once they arrive at the recruiting center.  It took me 3 days ,18 phone calls, 5 messages, and talking to 9 different people to find out that my papers were not getting processed yet, but they were there, sitting along with other files since...

    UK Air Cadet of the Year on Cloud 9

    This story is a lot like what happens at the SLC camp in Coldlake Alberta, a few air cadets are chosen at the end of the summer to ride in different aircrafts. One was a f-18, the others I cant remember clearly. The air cadets here might not receive as much support from the way Morgs described...

    Whos my recruiting officer

    Just to warn everyone , the Recruiting center wont always give you money for traveling expenses like they say they do. All three times I travelled to the recruiting center for testing, they told me they were out of money, and that they were sorry and they would get me the money later , which...
