    Advice for women on BMQ and other courses [MERGED]

    Hahaha. Well, I don't know, sometimes we're there so early no one is ever awake...however, I have gotten looks. My brain just tells me: "Look at them, all wishing they had your physique and ripped body...yeah." "Wish you could do raspberry pushups eh?" (I've said this one a couple times.) I...

    Family Care Plan (FCP) [Merged]

    Hello everyone, I have finally made the decision to join the CF in about 1.5 years. Why so long from now? Because I am a single mother...and to be honest planning your child's care isn' easy. My mother has graciously volunteered to take my daughter for my BMQ training, but I am left...

    Advice for women on BMQ and other courses [MERGED]

    I'd like to share my two cents on the topic for females working out or training before BMQ. I don't have a lot of money, nor places to go to where I can train, however if you have children, next time you go to the park, look at all the free equipment around you! Monkey bars are perfect for chin...

    Military Swim Test - When, Where, and How- Merged

    Not being able to swim is no embarrassing situation - there are plenty of people who cannot swim. I would say just enroll in a basic swimming program and tell them you need to learn the basics. I was training for the olympics in swimming before I got pregnant at the age of 15...and swimming...

    Being Smart...Joining The Canadian Forces

    Thanks for the info, The_Dictat, I know my potential, and I am dead serious and dead committed to trying for Int Ops first, and that would be Regular Force. Because I am a single mother in school with, pretty much 0 support at the moment, I cannot join the reserves, nor do I want to really...

    Being Smart...Joining The Canadian Forces

    It's mandatory for everyone to receive BMQ before proceeding onto waiting for training in their chosen trade...so I don't see how they would need to train someone "who needs BMQ" I will have had BMQ training. All I am planning on doing, is focusing on learning as much as possible. I know I don't...

    Being Smart...Joining The Canadian Forces

    I plan on doing as much as I can to increase my odds of getting into Int Ops. I can read German and speak German as well, but understanding it is the bigger challenge. So, maybe start there. I added my firearms knowledge/experience in my profile for those wishing to view. However, whatever I...

    Being Smart...Joining The Canadian Forces

    Sorry, I'll know for next time. It's been changed. Also, if Int Ops does not work out, I was planning on Artillery Field as a second option.

    Also, for Int Ops I do not need a post secondary education. If I did, I wouldn't be entering that trade. I need a high school education, which is what I plan to finish before I apply.

    Being Smart...Joining The Canadian Forces

    Well actually I first had emailed to ask about the Int Op position, and got an email back saying it was transfer only, however, I called a Sgt of the Winnipeg Recruitment office and he said I did not need a transfer to apply for Int Ops...so we'll see what happens, and yes, I am sure I don't...

    Int Op trade tell me more and more reg force please

    I talked to my recruit officer and he said it would be difficult to get into, would that be because of high demand? I'm planning on Artillery if Int Ops doesn't work out.

    Being Smart...Joining The Canadian Forces

    Hello All, I've finally made the decision about joining the Canadian Forces. I won't be applying for a year and a half however, as I have to make arrangements to have my daughter taken care of (single mother) and complete my high school. I am really happy to have found this forum, as I have...
