Does BMQ start in November?

[jasonf6]

Well, my CFRC Med Tech has to fax my doctor's forms and prescription to Borden for them to look over.  Cpl at the centre said it takes about 2-weeks to hear back so Im hoping she faxed them today because they are closed tomorrow.  I was told I'm by-passing BMQ so I would either be sent to Borden for PAT until the BMQ-L started or maybe put on the next one if it stars before your BMQ is over.

Hey,

I had my interview at CFRC Toronto for the Lorne Scots (reserve infantry) yesterday. My criminal records check was sent out then and everything else for my file has been completed. There is a BMQ starting the weekend of November 18th that I am trying to make, however I was told that they have to wait for the paperwork to be sent out and come back through the mail and that I'll be barely cutting it. I really hope to make the upcoming BMQ (held at Borden) otherwise I'll have to wait until January. If anyone has been in a similar situation or knows how long it takes for these things to be processed it would be much appreciated if you could let me know. I'm stuck in this limbo and just want to find out already!

Good luck to you all!

fauntania, what recruiting centre are you out of? I'm curious since the Victoria recruiting centre had just told me selections weren't being made yet. Maybe each recruiting centre has different selection dates.

I went through CFRC Vancouver, the one that's located in New Westminster.

Ewww, Navy?

Just kidding, my father was a Navy cook for over 20-years.  I applied, got RSBP, but as an Air Force RMS.  Did the Infantry thing for 10-years, was enough.

 

[Still Waiting]

Yeah I know. I applied for Airforce but they said the only RMS spots that opened were Navy. After a year and a half of waiting I don't really care haha.

 

[fauntania]

Woot!  Congrats Stillwaiting!  Looking forward to seeing you there =) 

Hmm...I didn't get navy, I got land.

 

[NDC]

I didn't know they could close a specific element.  Who knows though.

Well, let's just say that even though my father was Navy for 20+ years, I didn't receive any of his love for open water.

Good to hear.  I won't hear back from CFRC Ottawa's MO with regards to my status for a week or so.  But I will be going to either PAT or BMQ-L so I won't be joining ya on BMQ.  Best of luck though.

Congrats acj and NDC!! See you all in St Jean in January!!!

Congrats guys! I'm out of CFRC Vancouver as well, but I'm still waiting for confirmation on STWD. These knickers are still knotted 
Hopefully I'll be on the same course though!

Anyone else for STWD?
