Did BMQ twice (the weekend version and summer full time) and Land. Here are some tips from my own experiences. 1. DO THINGS WITH URGENCY. Everything is done with URGENCY. You do things as ordered, correctly, and quickly like your life depends on it. Don't ever walk, only marching or running...

If going on Reserves BMQ, ask permission first before bringing/wearing (let alone purchasing) your own Gucci non issued kit like boots, gloves, small pack. I had bought my own boots and gloves, but was not allowed to wear them until we did the field portion for BMQ and Land. Likewise for...

Going to BMQ reserve this summer. Already got kit issued and likewise given the kit list of what's required to bring to BMQ. Some kit not mentioned on the kit list, not on the prohibited items mentioned already in this thread and it will come in handy (eg. bore snake, surgical gloves, pipe...

Anyone here going to Summer BMQ from beginning of July to August in Winnipeg? if so, give me a shout!

Hi everyone, I'm a recruit enrolled in weekend BMQ right now. Prior to my weekend two of BMQ, I hurt my knee and was not allowed to participate in any parade drills or PT. Don't want to fall behind and been trying to look for youtube videos, but no luck. Was wondering if any current or former...

If you haven't done it yet, go get your criminal record check from the FBI. More than likely, you are going to be requested for and submit your American criminal record check.

Use this site for the practice exams, really helped me out a lot http://www.aptitude-test.com/

Update: Back in late September, I was contacted by my recruiter that my application file was closed as I needed to provide criminal record checks from Hong Kong and China (places that I've previously lived in within the last five years). Getting the criminal record check from Hong Kong was easy...

Uh yeah, I read those. I was hoping to get response from recent applicants that experienced or in similar situation as me right now. Merci!

UPDATE. So as it turns out, I am getting the 'full blown' Pre-Security Assessment. For anyone who had this conducted on their application, how long did it take for the Pre-Security Assessment to be completed?

Oh yeah, it could also depend on the scores you achieved from the CFAT. That gets pretty competitive too on who gets dibs for the interviews and medicals.

So yeah, I went to the recruiting office to follow up and I'm getting a pre-sec before I get the clear to do or not do my interview and medical. Luckily, the recruiting office said they they will be following up on the status of my pre-sec and I'll know by the end of this week or early next week...

Hey guys, what do you think. Another buddy of mine and faivious both applied for the Reserves in Toronto and first trade choice is ACISS (same as me). Except for faivious, me and my buddy had our first contact, PT test, and CFAT done earlier than faivious. Should I go down to the recruiting...

One thing for sure, you will get the appointment for the medical/interview before me  :D I did the CFAT during the same time period as you and in Toronto. But I applied for the Reserves and from what I was told, Regular Force applicants get priority first on the interview and medical.

Also, another matter that just got dropped on me this morning. In Summer 2012, I was involved in a vehicle accident in which I was at fault (I accidentally rear ended the vehicle in front of me). Now fast forward to today, the driver of that vehicle in front of me has decided to sue me because...

Relating to this scenario for llin_X, I' am a Canadian citizen (born in Canada), but I've not lived in Canada continuously for the past ten years. However, I written my CFAT last week (passed) and done the Physical Fitness Test few months ago. I was told my interview and medical will be...

Going along with this. Let say as a Army reservist, how are the shifts assigned? Let say for one particular calendar month, you are available for the entire month. How many shifts would you get? Cheers!

Hello everyone! This is for anyone in my situation, solidarity! I just did my CFAT earlier this week on March 16th 2015 and passed. While the Master Corporal was going over my results and whether I qualified for the trade I was pursuing, I was informed that my background checks of all sorts...

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone have recently (within the past 6-8 months) applied for the Reserves at one of the units in Toronto and got in? or have any information if the units are hiring? Cheers
