I'm not big on spreading other people's names around without their knowledge, so PM me. I will tell you he served in several units during his Reg F career, including 1 CER, CFB Edmonton and 1 CEU (as it was at the time).  He retired a couple of years ago and is currently working as a civilian...

WRT RHQ, The RHQ's physical address is in North Vancouver, but the pers are dispersed around all three Sqn locations (plus a bit). For example, the incumbents live as follows: CO - Trail area DCO - Victoria area RSM - Vancouver area Adjt - Vancouver Ops O - me - Trail area Ops WO - Trail area...

Chiquita, Send me an email at work as I cannot get the messaging part of this forum to function correctly.

I was on it last year.  Say hello to the Forge for me! Doug

I have moved on to another position, but I doubt things have changed too much in the past few months. From the Army perspective IAW LFCO 24-20 Prior Learning Assessment for Equivalencies and Qualification Reinstatements, PLQ(L) Mods 1-5 plus Mod 6 Pt 1 is equivalent to PLQ (CF).  However, the...

There is no such thing as an "Arty Tech" course, but there used to be.  That terminology is obsolete and has been for several years. Currently there are four different DP 2 courses for the Arty, only one of which is required for progression.  They are CP Tech, Recce Tech, F & E Tech and Gun Det...

PhilB, I'm not sure about about the Block 1 and 2 as I have not seen that terminology in referring to PLQ (Inf).  The following may or may not apply to you. From the DAT document entitled IMPLEMENTATION DIRECTIVE - PRIMARY LEADERSHIP QUALIFICATION - INFANTRY dated Jun 04 DP 2 Infantry Section...

To clarify a couple of points: 1.  There is no expiration date on PLQ (L) Mods 1-5, it is just an urban legend.  Having said that, Mods 5 & 6 are loaded from merit lists.  Therefore, common sense indicates that the member should be loaded on Mod 6 shortly after Mod 5 unless operational reasons...

Annex F of the TP contains 15 handouts, which include the various flow charts as well as pictures/diagrams and other information. The whole file is 38.3 MB.

dapaterson, I think it would be more accurate to say that BMQ has already become BMQ (Enhanced), but only for the Regular Force so far. The board has yet to sit and do a rewrite on the PRes BMQ to convert it into an enhanced version.  Note: both the Reg F and the PRes BMQ courses use the same...

M_power, your friend probably did BMQ and SQ in a row. Full time (5 days a week) this would be 8 weeks of training. In reality BMQ is 21 training days long (20 days plus one day of SHARP, which is hidden in the fine print of the TP).  SQ is 17 training days long.  Putting the two together...

Substantive - adj. dealing with real or important matters. - from the Oxford Dictionary of Current English In accordance with my old PER writing manual, "the rank used will be the substantive rank held by the member at the end of the reporting period". If someone actually wrote "substantive"...

Always subject to change, but current dates for Reg F DP 1 Inf are below.  The course is 43 training dates by the current TP (Training Plan), however a rewrite has been completed, which will add considerable length, but not yet approved. In Wainwright: 23 Oct - 19 Jan 07 In Edmonton...

1.  Whether the LER's run a BMQ or not is immaterial.  The important thing is whether there is one running in Edmonton.  CITY courses share staff and have students from all PRes units within the local area. 2.  Historically Edmonton has often hosted a PRes BMQ in the fall and another one (or...

Mike_Baker, Additionally, keep in mind that every course has prerequisites involving rank, previous courses, medical and physical fitness as well as a requirement for the qualification.  The courses you use as examples have multiple prerequisites, so its not a matter of just indicating your...
