AHH ok thanks for the info.  Any word if local res units do BMOQ locally or no?

I've done an extensive search here on the forums and can only find old information from 2005 and I'm not sure if it's relevant or not. I'm interested in joining the reserves as a DEO, more specifically, the Windsor Regiment or the E&K Scotts and was just wondering if anyone out there knew if...

OMG my old highschool buddy gave me a space pen too as a going away gift, how hardcore is that?! I can tell IAP/BOTP will be a lot of fun with you guyz on board.  I'm looking forward to it!

Less than a week to go eh boys n gals, hope everyone has all their loose ends tied up! I know I'm starting to get real anxious, I want to go but I don't want to leave the wife/kids for such an extensive period of time!  ARGH! 6 more days and counting! Hope everyone has a happy new year!

Ya no doubt...so will you be joining us for BOTP then, Jesse?

Since I will be one of the later arrivals at St. Jean, anyone wanna meet up at the front doors around 2100 or so on the 6th? I'll be the one already sporting a buzz cut with the "what the hell have I gotten myself into" look in his eyes.

So when is everyone slated to arrive at Montreal/St Jean?  I will be arriving Jan 6th at 1948 (7:48 pm for those who aren't used to a 24 hour clock yet) in Montreal, after a not-so-nice 5 hour stopover in Toronto.

Hey that's not too bad, I just found out today my train leaves town at 6:00 am, which means I have to be up and ready by 5:00 am, if not before hand to spend some time with the wife  ;) I wish I had a 9:00 departure time.... Well best of luck, what time is your flight arriving at?

I wish I had to get places that 'early'  9:00am is like massively sleeping in!  Well at least for me anyways! (Darn civy job gets me up at 5:30 every morning)

I wish I knew my travel itinerary.  It seems odd that they are making me train it up when I live further than some people who get to fly to St. Jean.  Talk about bad luck for me! I find out all that information tomorrow when I get sworn in...hopefully.

I'm in the same boat as you Magravan.  I am getting sworn in this Wednesday, and I was told that I will be  receiving all of my paper work thereafter.  As for the security clearance and other info, if you read the instructions it says only if you haven't provided your recruiting center with the...

That statement reminds me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail...are we to cut down a tree with....A HERING?

WOOHOO, you know it ;) I'm not power hungry or anything of that nature...is world domination too much to ask?

That'll be 2nd Lieut Marty to you, once you hit IAP mr. Cadet :D j/k  I'm sure you'll have fun in the spring.....  *gulp*

LOL poor guy!  Poor poor Thain!

Thanks for the positive feedback.  At this point I'm not too worried about it affecting my joining the forces, it's more of a matter of racing to beat the clock at this point.  I'm getting sworn in on the 20th and need to be deemed 'medically fit' before hand.  I hope the people in Ottawa don't...

I was trying to put a positive spin on his unfortunate circumstances, then you gotta go and put a nail in the coffin like that!  ;D

Well Thain, that's a major bummer.  Look on the bright side though, you'll probably get to do IAP/BOTP in the warm Spring instead of the Freezing -30 temp like the rest of us suckers. AND we'll be able to provide you with inside tips on what to expect.  The way I see it, you have an upper hand...

Already did so, and gathering the necessary paper work to hopefully get it reviewed before IAP/BOTP starts for me.  There's a chance I might not get it in on time which would be a real bummer.. :'(

Thanks for the info, helped ease my mind quite a bit!  :)
