I absolutely LOVE these boots! I'v had mine for over a year and they still look great. First time I wore them happened to be for a BFT. Finished with no soreness (other than the usual) and no blisters. I was amazed. I'v have worn them as my field boots ever since. Some people don't like the lack...

Wow how incredibly rude. If my thread offends you so much than why are you reading it? The reason I am and will continue to update this thread is to answer all of the questions that go on with what you call "a normal cf move". If you are not willing to offer helpful or even kind remarks than why...

Well I might as well update for anyone interested in our story. Who knows the information may pop up in someones search and I can help someone in the future :) First things first, we are still moving up. My husband managed to get some admin time and after a few hours of driving all over base...

Hi All, It's been quite a while since I posted last and that means I must have exhausted all other resources at my fingertips. That includes the infamous search function. Ok, on to my concerns. Here's a little background info to get started. My husband and I are a service couple. We both have...

Thank you Celtic Girl. Your advice is so much more hands on then just making a list of pros and cons on a piece of paper. I'm excited to try on a few "hats". My one further question would be. How do I focus on my hat of the week and not look like a flake in the process. Do I tell those around me...

Hello, I hope this topic may be useful to others as well as myself. I'm looking for information from those of you who have re-enrolled. I started my BMQ in June and VR'd in July. I was very idealistic upon my return to the civilian world. Unfortunately my vision didn't last long. I feel as if I...

Only your recruitment centre can know for sure if it is full. With that in mind however, there are so many reasons a spot could suddenly become available. From what I know, last minute spots can become available due to a recruit dropping out, getting injured, etc. Call your recruitment centre...

That was a great idea 40below. I had no idea how much time I was wasting when I smoked. Suddenly I had all this free time and nothing to do with my hands. I think I ate my body weight in tic-tacs the first week. Then I switched to toothpicks. They were cheaper and lasted longer. I wish I would...

I was really hoping that I would meet another girl for the June 16 BMQ. So far they are all on the June 30 course.

My recruitment was out of Hamilton as well. I absolutely loved it there. They made me feel really welcome and answered all my questions. Even the obscure ones. It was a really comfortable environment. Congrats on your busy day Dee-Dee. Shlindz

Hi GGHG_Cadet, If you have 6 weeks to train further (<--- key word there) you should be fine. You have been training all this time. Taking a little medical break will inherently disrupt your training. However, it will not completely nullify all the work you have done so far. When you are...

Thanks. I have a quit meter going on my computer. It acts as a constant reminder of our success. I would never consider anyone weak that has gone through the initial quit. The struggle involved with the first three days alone merits recognition of true strength.

My husband and I quit smoking about 4 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days ago. It was one of the hardest things we have ever done and really put our relationship to the test. It's scary to hear all the non-smokers and former non-smokers that start smoking during or after BMQ. I can't imagine starting...

I found the practice test to be a rather easy in comparison to the actual CFAT. The practice test gives you an accurate idea as to how the questions will be worded and what they will look like. However, it is slightly deceiving as to difficulty level. Never the less I easily managed to achieve...

On the contrary...What may seem like very little time to you may feel like an eternity to others. It's all on how you look at. From the time I got my offer to my BMQ start date was 7 weeks. I'm now down to 3 weeks left to wait and it feels endless. Although the amount of time between your school...

Siege- BMQ's start on Mondays. Therefore You will probably be leaving on 5th (Saturday) or 6th (Sunday) if your BMQ starts on the 7th. Good luck!

Eye In The Sky- Thanks. I'm not too worried. I'm in love with my husband and I don't need to see him everyday to remind myself. Although, we'll see how I really feel after 4 weeks. ArmyVern- Thanks for breaking it down even further for me. I am glad my trade (861-cook) is a purple trade. It...

CDN Aviator- Oh my gosh. I didn't know the element was for uniform purposes. I assumed it was for primary employment choice. Thank you so much for clarifying that. I feel silly for just assuming. Eye In The Sky- I'm realizing more and more how slim to none my chances of seeing my husband are...

Thank you Jack, Since writing my original post I have learned a lot of information. In fact, I even received a job offer. I'm leaving for BMQ in 4 weeks time. My husband also received an offer. However, he broke his hand and has to wait. He should be able to leave shortly after myself. I'm...

Hello, I just had to reply and say hi. I'm in a similar and yet very different situation. I think I can understand your feelings. Recently (4months ago) my husband and I decided to join the CF at the same time. I tried doing some research and getting a better idea of what being a service couple...
