Hey there, just wondering if anyone has done this lately, transfering from reg forces to reserves in the same trade (ql3 trained). Any insight into the process? Even if your contract isnt finished

Has anyone had experience in releasing before their 3s course started? What was said, how long was the release and did they reject you or approve you. I figure if I do it before my 3s it would be an easier go as the crown hasn't put me through my course besides bmq Also what is considered a...

I know how vr'a worked in basic training but I'm not in basic anymore. I'm currently awaiting my 3s course and I've come to the realization that the CF lifestyle is not for me so Ive been juggling the idea of a VR before my course starts. What is the process? Is it a quicker release if I do it...

Last questions, how do the shifts work with cf fire fighters ?

What's the reasoning behind the high turn over? Fire fighters going to civvy departments?

That seems odd to have both dnd and military staff, why not one or the other? Thanks for clearing it up Wallace. I'm just on my final weeks of bmq and I havnt come across any fire fighter staff to ask questions

I figured thanks!

General question Air Force may know. Do the fire fighters stationed at Air Force bases only protecting air crafts or are they protecting the housing and infrastructure in the entire base? Or are the buildings left to the dnd fire dept?

Hey guys I'm in my last month of training at bmq. I'm just curious about a few things because I've been getting many different answers. Am I allowed out of base on week days after the work day? Or is it still weekends only? In my quarters am I allowed to have civilian items such as laptop/guitar?

People like you are awesome some of those things I didn't even think about!!

I've done the whole emailing thing because I was nervous about calling. In the end I had to grow a pair and just call. Write down the things you want to ask and get across before calling. It's way more personal to call than doing emails. I've found the recruiter actually tries to get things done...

Hey sorry for the late response. I got offered Fire Fighting (Which i accepted)

Although I havn't done BMQ myself I don't think you have to much to worry about from what i've read about people's experiences if they are close to accurate. BMQ isn't going to put you into 5km runs on day one. They do baby steps in, i believe its in 3 different phases. That being said, don't...

Anyone get their call for march 10th bmq, i didn't see a thread for this one. Anyone as excited as me?

Yes i got an offer today for BMQ March 10th

Did anyone else get a job offer today?

I've volunteered before I moved. However there's limits on how far you can live from the closest volly department here. They don't want people getting into accidents on the way to a call. I do forest fire-fighting currently in the summer. If I get into the CF i'm hoping to make a career out of...

I'm still in the application process. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be a fire fighter. My parent's told me there's no way they'll support me with this decision as they don't like the risk and they don't want me trying forever to get a job in a very, very competitive field. That being said...
