Just about to go on course this summer in Gagetown and I would love to pick up some used kit.  Specifically: NEOS - size 9.5-11 (large) Softie or Snugpak Stealth suit or any goretex shell pants and jacket with goreseam tapped seams. jumpruck - preferably complete not just the frame.  poncho...

I am currently not MOC qualified. For the purposes of this thread, lets hypothesize  I have completed BMOQ and BMOQ-L (CAP) and my trade is Inf O (00180).  There is a part of me that is very interested in becoming a SAR Tech.  I understand that that is not only an OT but it also means I would...

Hi, I realize that some of this should be in the OT/CT section of these forums.  But I am nonetheless hoping someone can let me know. I am potentially interested, if it is even possible, in becoming a SAR tech.  I am currently not MOC (00180 InfO) qualified, I have completed BMOQ and BMOQ-L...

I don't know if this helps anyone.  But I just finished BMOQ and we had lots of people on the CEOTP entry plan in many different trades; MARS, INF, ART, AEC, etc and all got their commissions at the end of the course.  What I did hear and this is purely chatter from someone who talked to a...

Thank you in advance for you help. I have a wife and a young son (16 months) and am about to start CAP in Gagetown on or around Jan 25.  I'm wondering what that chances of moving my family to Gagetown are? It's a restricted posting, but from what I've gathered chances are that I'm going to be...

Last question about this.  Do I get back pay for the period I was an OCDT prior to getting my commision?  I have heard, but cannot verify that upon the completion of BMOQ when I get my commision that I am paid the difference between my OCDT pay and my 2LT pay for the period that I was an OCDT...

If someone could PM with a laymans explanation of this following line I would be very happy. "OCDT commissioned in the rank of 2lt on successful completion of BMOQ eff 20 Aug 2009 minus and leave LWOP" Additionally how do I find out what pay grade I am?

O Cadet LWOP until Sept 7th when I start BMOQ.

Hi, anyone else from NS or NB going to this BMOQ, specifically INF O?

I know there was just a NOAB held on the 25th of May.  Does anyone know when the next one is going to be held.  Apparently, according to my CFRC, me and 16 other people had all our applications in on time to go to the May 25th NOAB, but someone in Borden "dropped the ball" and we didn't get...

I'm not sure if this fits on this thread.  But I'm just wondering if anyone knows when the next NOAB is going to be held.  There was just one held on the 25th of May, which me and 16 other people were supposed to be present at.  But, as my CFRC has told me, someone "dropped the ball" in Borden...

Thank you MJP.  That was the type of answer I was looking for.

Ah... so you are saying. You can't progress the ranks if you don't pass the 12 months of training in Esquimalt and Halifax.

I'm not sure how I'm being ignorant.  If I didn't ask I would be ignorant for not seeking a logical answer and explanation.  I hope I am trying not to be ignorant.  I would just like someone to answer more than regurgitating what is on the site.  Someone to offer some logical insight based on...

By "grasp your phase courses" you mean the quality of officer you are and the skill that you have?
