His answer was more detailed than "don't worry about it". As I wrote, it would have been fine if you told me that no one can answer that question, but you didn't. You just said "don't worry about it".

Alrighty, thank-you very much.

So is it possible to be put into a September Reserve BMQ this year? I'm applying to a Hamilton Reserve unit. Last response was a bit unhelpful. A) I don't exactly trust the advice of someone who just got a job offer. B) I'm not asking if I should worry about it or not. "Don't worry" is one...

Does anyone know if it is too late to be selected for Reserve training this September? I have finished my application process, but I have not received an offer yet.

Yah I've looked through that a lot, unfortunately there is no recent info for the time it takes to get offered a position from a Reserve unit once the application process has been completed.

On a separate note, my local CFRC says they finished processing my application and sent it to the Reserve infantry unit I applied to. How long should I expect until I receive a call from them offering the position? A few weeks?  A month? Two months? Thanks.

Thanks. I could definitely do full time any other summer, just not this one.

I am applying to the Reserves in the Hamilton area. I was told that I will get a job offer from my Reserve unit in the next few weeks. I had been told that training would either begin in September or January, but recently someone told me that I might be asked to do BMQ this summer. Is summer BMQ...

My experience was exactly the same, but I was under the impression that that was only a preliminary interview, and that once your application is passed back to your Reserve Unit they will interview you again, because each Reserve Unit is in charge of its own hiring. Someone correct me if that's...

Alright, thanks. I was actully only calling every week because the recruiters I talked to always told me to call back in a week!

Hi, I'm wondering how long it usually takes for a reference check to be completed? I have called my Recruiting Centre every Friday for the past 4 weeks, and they still tell me that the reference check is in the process of being completed. And before anyone says it, I used the search function...

The Royal Australian Navy had a gap year program which stopped running this year, in which participants would spend a year aboard a ship learning about all of the different trades and gaining experience and knowledge about life in the Navy. Is there a program like that in Canada? I couldn't find...

Is it allowed for someone to join both the army and navy reserves at the same time, if the training does not interfere with each other? Has this ever been done before?

Alrighty, thanks.

Alright, thanks everyone. My question has been answered.

The way I see it, I'm going to be asking the question eventually. Also, other people on the site have their years of experience in their profile, so it's nice to know what that means exactly.

I am currently applying to the reserves, and i am wondering what is acceptible to count as "experience" when I tell people how long I have been in the reserves. Does "experience" count the time spent in BMQ? For example, if I began BMQ tomorrow, could I say in a year from now that I have a year...

I handed in my application to my reserve unit end of October, and now the only thing left is reference checks. My advice is to call and inquire about the status of your application every week or two, unless you have been given a specific date. Even if the recruiters say they are going to call...

Hi, I'm currently applying to the Infantry Reserves. What was the timeline like for your application, as in when did you apply and then get accepted, etc.? And what is your training schedule like?
