Does this mean at 40, I'll be "Mom"?  *chuckle*  I'm starting BMQ January 23rd! You're not the only "older type person" joining up! ::)

I don't see how you could take home $500 a month as an officer cadet.  I mean, the pay scale for regular force NCM's is $2,663 gross for the month.  The math is just not making sense to me.

Personally, I'm kind of old school and I find the way everyone is always staring at phones and texting and whatnot to be highly irritating.  I was looking forward to that being minimal at BMQ, and who knows, maybe it still will be.  On the good side - perhaps the pay phones won't have such line...

I didn't get any paperwork either, but I didn't expect to.  The MCpl who called me with the job offer told me to google cflrs and download/print the Information Booklet.  She said everything I would need to know and bring, etc would be in there.  So that's what I did!  Check it out for yourself...

I'll be joining you at CFLRS for BMQ starting January 23, 2012!  I got the RMS call last week and I'm totally stoked.  I first applied in the end of January 2011, so its been almost a year from my initial application date. At 40 years old, I kind of expect to be the old lady on the course, but...

Congrats ACJ!  Meet you in St. Jean!  ;D

Hey Wondergirl, I haven't seen any postings from you in quite some time!  Does this mean you got in?  I'm hopeful for you! It took me a long time - I applied in the end of January 2011, and I will be swearing in January 19, 2012!  But I finally made it, and I'm stoked about it - can't wait to...

Excellent point, Pusser.  It would seem that this is definitely a potential issue, and it would probably be in our best interests to get the necessary paperwork underway in order to bring him to legal immigrant status. Thank you, everyone, for your opinions and advice on this matter.  It is...

I don't understand how there can even be an immigration category for "common law spouse" which requires you to be cohabiting for a period of at least a year, if its not okay for him to be living here under the same roof with me.  How does that make any sense at all?  If its not legally possible...

To clarify, he is sleeps in Canada at our place every night, and travels across the border for work during the day.  With the exception of one six month period where we split up and he returned to he US during that time, we have been cohabiting in Canada for five years.  We've looked at every...

I've tried a few searches on this and come up empty-handed, so I thought I would ask.  Hopefully this is the right place!  My boyfriend and I have been living together for over five years.  We live in BC, near the US border.  He is an American citizen, working whatever jobs he can shake up on...

Woot!  Congrats Stillwaiting!  Looking forward to seeing you there =)  Hmm...I didn't get navy, I got land.

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

I'm so excited!  I just got the call for RMS Clerk!!  I'm swearing in Jan 19, flying out Jan 21, BMQ starting Jan 23.  So they ARE making the calls now!  Just thought I would update you all! ;D

Well, in the end there is nothing you CAN do other than wait and see what transpires.  If they're going to call, they're going to call.  That's what I tell myself, meanwhile I go to the gym and do what I have to do just in case they DO!  *grin* I did get a response from my recruiter, when I...
