Thankfully this is one of the few true meritocratic practices in the CF so if I didn’t get it means the other person was a better fit. Unfortunately doesn’t help my paranoid mind that thinks only of nefarious actions or negligence on other peoples part. It sounds silly but things like background...

To piggy back off this, do they add any information as to why you were not selected? Or is it more so of a “you didn’t make it, try again next year”?

Did you find out if they are taking any this year? Or where I can look? I got a fairly high CFAT and I haven’t heard anything yet either.

I'll be leaving 12:45 Saturday morning.

Just got my tickets e-mailed flying from Abbotsford to Calgary then off to Quebec. Anyone else joining me on this flight? P.s. What are we supposed to wear to Montreal? Jeans and a button down fine?

Mariomike you have helped me countless times, thanks a bunch for all the posts I really appreciate it. Now I just gotta figure out what I am putting all my stuck in I am hearing backpack a lot but I don't think it'll be easy fitting all these things in a backpack.

Nice I'm the short brown guy, I won't be too hard to find. Anyways this is embarrassing before I am leaving I'm already asking more questions, what kind of suitcase do I bring to hold everything? I am swearing in on the 10th and was only notified two days back so I didn't have time to really...

Just wondering if anyone has done the course since the change could answer this? Is it worth bringing a laptop to BMQ? I was thinking of getting one to talk to family and friends through Skype if I get the time later on in the course and for during training after BMQ at Borden.

Thought I'd make my final update, I just got my job offer for AWS Tech and I'll be going to BMQ July 15th. Thanks everyone for helping me with the process.

I am fairly good shape play sports and go to the gym regularly but I am wondering say if I do a course do I call the recruitment center and tell them I've done a course or that I am volunteering or any of those kinds of things??

Well the interview was much easier then I expected but anyways I haven't heard anything from them so is it safe to say I probably won't be getting called for the July BMQ? All the interviewer told me was I was put into the competitive category and to call the CF if I don't hear anything by...

I am in the same boat as you, just finished up my interview last week I hope I get called for June or July.

I am trying to figure out how long it is before I am completely qualified for an Artillery Soldier and AWSTech, would basic training + occupational training be the right amount? So about 46 weeks for AWST and 38 weeks for Artillery?

I am supposed to know where I might serve, where exactly would I be as an Air Weapons Tech or an Artillery Soldier? I think as an Air Weapons Tech I'd be mainly at Canadian bases or maybe on ships but where do Artillery soldiers mainly go? Also should I know the name of the bases? Also what...

Another update, I have an interview coming up in a few days. :D Now I need a bit of help, I can figure out most of the occupational information and other information straight from the forces website but is there anything else I should study up on? Also I wanna get some information on Canadian...
