    Boyfriend in basic training started pushing me away towards the end of training?

    I'm going to play devils advocate here, but if he's not even telling you about the details of his Grad, would you really want to be with a person who isn't man enough to tell you he doesn't want you to come to his grad? If he's being coy, why doesn't he just tell you he doesn't want you to come...

    Boyfriend in basic training started pushing me away towards the end of training?

    My experience in the mega is the same that was explained already. My boyfriend and I were over the moon about each other in our honey moon phase while I was in basic. While I was in Borden, however, quite the opposite. He became cold and distant, not wanting much contact when I needed him. He...

    Respect for Women

    The sad thing this is a common occurrence with any female standing idly by. Take it from someone who was in the military AND female, amongst a male dominated organization, this happens a lot. It brings up the "boys will be boys" debacle, on many occurrences during basic, it seems there would be...

    Enrollment / Swearing In Ceremony [MERGED]

    Thank you, all I wanted was an opinion. I forgot that I knew I was entitled to wear my uniform being in the suppress, just didn't know if I should to a swearing in. I have decided against it. The oath/affirmation indicates 'until lawfully released', well then, time for round two! *nod*

    Enrollment / Swearing In Ceremony [MERGED]

    I didn't mean to offend nor did I want to offend, hence why I asked. When I stated "I can get away with it" I didn't mean wearing the uniform in general, I meant wearing army/dental before officially becoming navy/rms clerk. Also, forgive me for forgetting to update my profile info. When I...

    Enrollment / Swearing In Ceremony [MERGED]

    Okay, so, I looked in the "what should I wear!?" thread and have tried searching, but no one's really covered swearing in a SECOND time. I will be doing another affirmation, this has been confirmed, but I was wondering if it would be ridiculous of me to wear my army/dental N1's to swearing in. I...

    Extra thing to bring to BMQ?

    I tried to edit my post, but it's too late. Sorry for the double post. But THE MOST useful thing I brought to basic was electrician's tape of all things. Generously tape your heals with this stuff during ruck sack marches and it will help with blisters. Your socks slide against the smooth tape...

    Extra thing to bring to BMQ?

    Magic erasers are also good for stripping your parade boots of the weird coating thats on there before you can polish them.

    Verification of Former Service (VFS) [Merged]

    I applied PRes they day I got notification of my release. So, that was Jan 2015. My file was sent from CFRC Winnipeg to CFRC victoria because they still had it (they retain them for 3 years)... long story short, PRes didn't happen because I was tired of jumping through hoops and not getting...

    Verification of Former Service (VFS) [Merged]

    I'm just quoting what the clerk told me. Her words, "I cannot enroll you until you release from the SuppRes and provide me documentation as such" And yes, second swearing in, she asked if I wanted the oath or affirmation. From what I gathered from reading the forum, that was the case. I thought...

    Verification of Former Service (VFS) [Merged]

    I just received my offer to re-enroll and have a few questions; Since I am coming back as a different trade and element (army dent tech to navy clerk) and getting RSBP. I'm guessing it would be more appropriate to report for duty in civvies than wearing what little kit I have left, ie my army...

    Any favourite BMQ memories?

    A fire team in our section got tied together because they were caught seperated in field (one member was throwing garbage out from lunch, his FTP was 100 feet away). While we were in ack-ack, and they were still tied together, one was swearing about being tied up while the other was in hysterics...
