Although old, this post and a few others have helped me immensely. It is almost time for me to chose my preferences for posting for my 4s. As I have waited almost a year between my POET and 3s doing OJE, I finally got to experience many facets of the trade. I found that I quite enjoy almost...

Thanks Eye In The Sky, I will talk to my file manager as soon as I get one again (I don't have one at the moment while my file is being transferred). I'll post here with the answer I am given for future people who may have run into a similar predicament to read about.

While I appreciate his comments and those of the people before him, the crux of my question still has not been answered, "where should someone with no home in Canada keep all their non-BMQ stuff yet still have access to it. (for example OUTCAN applicants like myself or single people who are...

Thanks a lot for the info, that was exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. In other words, even though there is storage at BMQ, it is not practical to bring all my bags with me and ideally I will need to find an alternative way to store my stuff before BMQ. I got further clarification in a...

Is said closet up the stairs where you will be dragging the rest of your kit? Is it somewhere where I will have to drag my extra non-BMQ stuff up with me? Should I bring any Non-BMQ stuff with me and if not, when do I get the chance to retrieve it? I literally want a bag with personal items in...

Thanks for the links but I skimmed most of those before posting and none seem to answer my question. What to bring to BMQ is very straight forward (just bring what is on the joining orders). What I want to know is if there is someplace to put things you want to use after BMQ but not during it...

Should I pack some of the stuff I will want to use AFTER BMQ? From what I understand, after BMQ I am likely to be put on PAT until my next phase of training begins. During this period, I am considered on 'restricted' status (or something along those lines) which means I can't move my stuff yet...

I hope that turns to 100%, my fingers are crossed too. Not gonna lie, I think it will be a boon for us to get some insider tips from someone who is not a 100% confused civvie like me. How many weeks did you stay in until?

Often there are multiple new platoons beginning at the same time, but this time, on the 15th, there are only two, R0138E which is an English platoon and R0137F which is a French one, so without getting actual joining instructions we should be able to guess what platoon we will be in based on our...

I kind of was lol. I was reading people talking about the strain of things like having to go to bed at 11pm and get up at 5am and here I was thinking to myself 'I can sleep 6 hours uninterrupted most nights while on BMQ?! That's great!'. But you are right, we certainly will likely excel at...

My boy is 4 years old as well (my girl is two). Small world eh? Physical demand, mental acuity, psychological strain, I don't think any of those things will compare to the difficulty being away from wife and kids for so long but we do what we need to do for our family and country right? From...

Seeing as there is only one new English BMQ beginning on February 15th (and one in French, R0137F), I just wanted to see if anyone else here besides myself will be in the same platoon (R0138E) and perhaps introduce ourselves. As for me, I am a 34 years old man from Winnipeg, MB but have been...

THE WAIT FINALLY ENDS! My perseverance has paid off. 2 years, 3 months and 11 days (833 days total) after my application to the Canadian forces began, I have finally been given an offer! On February 15th, 2016 I will be off to Quebec to begin my training as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces...

Ironically, since everything after the first two pages of the Army.ca Admin forums are more than 4 years old, I did not bother using search for this topic (I just read all the topics since there are not many). That is a pity in and of itself since I would have brought up that link you gave had I...

The Short Version The guidelines ask that people post in existing threads for similar topics while a warning message before you post in an old thread suggests that you create a new thread if you try to reply to a topic that is more than 200 days old. The Long Version I was asking a question...

From my understanding, after an ATIS tech is QL3 qualified, they get to request three locations for their first posting while doing their QL4 and OJT (I understand that these requests are not guaranteed by any means). When requesting your first posting, what would be suggested for `base(s) with...
