    :) WOW! Thank you for that! Best reply so far! You hit the Nail on the head and slammed it to the finish! Your words remind me of my hubby's work ethic/ basic trg experiences! (Cornwallis 1987) his first job off the bus when he arrived, coveralls on stripping and waxing floors!!! You guys had it...

    Wedding during training

    Hi  :) Congrats on your engagement and future wedding! I see you say you'll have to turn down any offers between FEB and JUNE, and I just wanted to caution you against that , as most of the recruiting / course selections for this year are getting pretty slim, I'd say (I think there's 2 more bmq...

    Hi Chelomo :) thanks for your post, it was very informative and I completely think this (more private quarters) is definitely the reason for the difficulty in achieving uniformity and team work! Hopefully it'll come together sooner rather than later :) I'm hoping things are going well for him...

    No worries :) ( actually that wasn't my quote! :) ) but I understand exactly what you mean and agree 100% that all kinds of personalities prevail. Thanks for your great advice and I'll be sure next time I'm able to talk to him to let him know it'll all fall into place and work itself out :)

    ;) good thing I didn't pack his kit then, lol! I'm sure he'll adapt and do fine, it's me having the hard time not worrying about my kiddo, I'm sure we, his parents will see the good side to his leaving the house, just hasn't happened for me yet! Lol

    Good Afternoon  :) Well, my son is beginning week 2 of BMQ and it seems from what he has said, team work is not as easy being in the blue sector. The recruits are in small groups of 5 to a pod, with private room and a door/ this set up is making it hard to gel as a team. I think being in the...

    Sounds great! But just remember -- never trust anything in the military until you have that signed leave pass in your hands! Things can change at any given time and it would suck to make plans only to have a wrench thrown in them due to a schedule shift no matter how small! Don't make plans...

    Nah, I'd rather do this, thanks

    :) congrats! My son just graduated HS in June. He really enjoyed his construction classes and decided to apply for ACS tech around February of his grade 12 year.

    CANEX use on course [Merged]

    Hi :) My son is heading to BMQ Oct 20 .... In his joining instructions where it says what to bring, there is a part that states the candidate will purchase the following items at the Canex once in St Jean/ and it lists such items.... I take it that they expect you to buy those items at the canex...

    Do you need your social insurance number before you are paid?

    Apparently they don't give the plastic cards anymore -- if you have one try not to lose it! I think they just give a piece of paper with the number on it now and no longer give the hard plastic card

    I'm wondering about this too as I'm trying to prepare for booking leave from work/ and flights for my sons grad. On his paperwork it states his grad as Feb 6 (a Friday/ OCT 20 start date for BMQ) however cflrs website states and joining instructions state grads are Thursday afternoons. I think...
