I went throught an OT a few months back. Your BMQ and BMQ-L will transfer over and providing the process is successful, your next career course will be DP1 Arty. To start the process, you have to inform your chain of command who will inform the orderly room and deal with the paperwork. Once the...

All I received back when I did it in '04 was a certificate. Nothing with scores written on it.

I have dual citizenship (ROC) and on the level 2 security clearance application there's an area for holders of dual citizenship where you have to explain why you want to retain your second citizenship. I was able to get my clearance without problems.

I think he means your choice of words. You don't "apply" to become a corporal, you are selected and promoted to corporal.

A good majority of the guys from my reserves unit (39 Service) are university students. It really comes down to how much of a commitment you want to put in. We meet every Wednesday night plus some weekends and the unit is pretty accommodating if you have to skip an odd weekend/weeknight due to...

The owner of that website seems to be confused about how the CF works. There are many references to the regular force being the army, the navy and the air force not being part of the regular force, and the reserves not being part of the military at all. I'd be highly skeptical of the study...

I just commissioned after 7 years as a reserves NCM here's what i got equivalency for BMQ = BMOQ part 1 nothing else counted. I'm currently on BMOQ part 2 and have to redo everything even though my SQ/BMQ-L covers most of the field work. nothing in BMQ/SQ/Trades training is equivalent to...

Yes I've came across the second document before, but I didn't think it was too applicable due to this clause: Is this a reference to our career courses? Based on reading that legislation, I thought it was merely for guys being deployed and their work-up training.

Anything like this available for BC? Would definitely be nice to have.

last I heard everyone is busy with Cougar Salvo and course loading has been put on the back burner.

How well does this piece of kit work with the 82 ruck and the smallpack? This would be a nice-to-have for a ruck march but will the rucksack crush the hydration pouch?

I've heard from many recruiters and guys that have re-joined that previous service will most likely bog you down as they have to draw service records from Ottawa, which is an extra step.

You need to parade at least every three weeks during Sept to May to not go NES (non effective strength, aka getting booted out) so working full time elsewhere during the year is not viable. There is the ED & T option which allows you to get permission to take a longer amount of time off...

Ended up being the same case as wook. Presented with EME cap badge and instructed to sort it out

Thanks for the replies! @blackberet: not course loaded yet, but I've heard nice things about aldershot. @wook: are you referring to the trade cap badge or the cornflake?

Hi all, I am an army reservist and recently signed my acceptacnce offer for EME officer through the SCP and accepted a position as 2LT-2. Currently I am authorized to wear the logistics cap badge. Do I continue to wear my log NCM badge or change to cornflake/EME? My next career course is CAP...

Get that CT application in early too... 2 of my friends who are CT/OT MARS (one from CIC, one from army reserves) have been waiting for over a year and a half for the NOAB call.

I've been waiting a year and a bit for mine to go through but finally succumbed and got another job. However, I'm gonna keep waiting to see what happens. Good luck!

bit off track here but do you have any information regarding what the streamlined version of the reserves EME phase courses will look like?

last time I spoke with my file manager, he said there won't be anymore planned until after April 1st.
