BMOQ Regular Force 2014 - 2017 [Merged]

[yscho88]

I made a facebook group called "BMOQ 23 MAY 2016".
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1135687819798214/

Let us share and get to know each other!

 

[King Arthur]

I received my offer for DEO Logistics on January 7th and I will be joining each of you for BMOQ on May 23rd. However, I have never had Facebook so I will just be responding on this forum.

 

[Mirin]

Accepted for Marine Systems Engineering Officer.  Cheers.

Congrats Mirin and King Arthur!

I had some issues with my references that was holding me back. As far as I know, that has all been taken care of and I should be merit listed (Although I do not know the process and how long it will take) Everything else is done, medical and medical review, interview, etc.

Is it possible that May 23rd BMOQ is already full? I am just trying to get a timeline here. I got accepted for a post-grad program at Sheridan college and the deadline to accept is May 1st. I want the army more than I want to go back to school. Is it possible that I could get an offer in April for the May 23rd BMOQ (2016)?

Any advice or insight would be much appreciated.

Your chances of getting an offer of employment and subsequently attending the 23 May 16 BMOQ are greater prior to the end of this month.  They are filling that BMOQ Serial NOW.  Any space remaining will probably be assigned sometime before mid-Apr 16.  After that, the next BMOQ course isn't until Sept.

Good day DAA, when filling a BMOQ Serial, is there a specific number of spots reserved for each trade and entry plan or are spots just filled by job offers given out? E.g. May 23rd BMOQ: 10 spots for DEO Infantry, 2 spots for DEO Logistics, 4 spots DEO MARS, 15 spots for ROTP Combat Engineers, etc. Thanks in advance.

Do selections go out in waves depending on trade? I'm going in for DEO Infantry. Just heard back from CFRC than I'm definitely merit listed awaiting selection.

THANK YOU!

Selections and offers are mainly based on when CFLRS schedules the respective BMOQ courses to run.  After that, some occupations have "specific" target dates to try and match applicants up with their occupational training soon after completing BMOQ.  It's a juggling act sometimes and usually things come crashing to the ground.   

The "optimum", is to hire people, where they can complete their BMOQ and then commence their next stage of training within the following 30-90 days.

Hello,
What modules are taught during BMOQ-L?
Thank you.

That's exciting! There are two start dates in May and one in June! I'm doing my medical on April 7th, hoping to make it into one of those BMOQs!

I think June training is something different.It is only 8 weeks .Usually BMOQ is 14 weeks.

Oh right I see it now, good call! :-[ Nevermind only two dates for BMOQ for now then. ;D

 

[yscho88]

Ya I believe the June one might be for ROTP.

 

[bscriber]

I believe one of the senior members mentioned in one posting that the next BMOQ after May isn't until September.  I am hoping on hope to get into the September one!  That'll be a year and a quarter since I first applied...and at 34, I am not getting any younger  ;D

As I wrote this, I just got an email to schedule my ACS testing...this is the last major hurdle I have to clear!

I apologize mariomike.  I was going from this information.  I am going in DEO, not ROTC.  From what I understood, ROTC courses are for RMC or university students only.  I might be totally out to lunch on that.  I am under the impression that BMOQs for DEOs are not starting up again until September--operational needs notwithstanding of course  ;D

Is it possible that May 23rd BMOQ is already full?

Is it possible that I could get an offer in April for the May 23rd BMOQ (2016)?

Saw this today in Ask a CAF Recruiter. Adding here for future reference,

DEO Infantry Selections 16/17 

Does anyone have any insight on when DEO Infantry selections will happen for either May 23rd or September 16th?
Is there a chance that the May 23rd serial is full now?

 

[BlueAngels14]

Can't help with when or how full but these are the DEO Intake Numbers for 2016/17 posted by Sergeant Laen:
