Be sure to have enough money to pay bills for at least one month, but i suggest two. My experience going through is that i went a month and a half without pay due to administrative errors.

On my BMQ, while we were out in Farnham for the field portion. We had this one navy guy who dropped one of his mortar gloves in a chem toilet. Instead of filling out a lost report he decided to grab the glove and put it on. When he finally took it off and the instructors saw that his hand was...

To anyone who might know this. The three trades i applied to are AVN, AWS and ACS tech. I've been told that the next selection dates for all three are as follows; AVN: 3 Nov, 1 Jan AWS:1 Jan ACS: 3 Nov, 1 Jan Now i don't know about you guys, but i don't know many government employees who work...

So just in case anyone has ever wondered about or was looking for this information, like i was tonight, I've managed to dig up the basic list explaining how and what Transport Canada recognizes when it comes to trades, hours, civilian equivalent to military aircraft and more...

Unless they've changed models, i remember the issued shoes being nicknamed "the ankle breaker" by staff and they really didn't want us running in them unless we didn't have a choice (ie couldn't afford other shoes). Like people have said just bring a single good pair of comfortable running...

Sorry i didn't catch that, Thanks.

Good that's what i figured, thank you.

That's actually something that I've been considering ( whenever I'm at the point where I have to take that decision). Which brings me to ask, how is it being an air tech on a ship, and is it really as bad as they say family wise?

Yeah no kidding eh. From what i can gather it's either coast, or bagotville if you have to work on jets, or Ontario... Like i said biggest factor is probably your trade/ what aircraft floats your boat.

I'm curious about your opinions. As far as cost of living, schools, quality of life, nearby attractions or activities, what would you consider the best air force base to be? I know answers are going to vary based on trade, interests and whether or not there is a family in tow, but that doesn't...

Hi guys, in quite aware that just under this post there are two others with similar titles. I'm just trying to get a slightly more specific answer. So if at all possible could anyone post the next course dates for the aforementioned trades? Much appreciated thank you.

Hey guys, so this question revolves around the scoring system they use at recruiting centers to rank you up to your competition. Your military potential grade. Basically, from what I know, your cfat and personality test count for 2/3 of your military potential, and your interview for the rest...

To anyone who might know this. I've been told that since I'm a recruit school bypass, selection dates matter little to me. Is this accurate? I'm an ex armored soldier who got out and is going back in with the avn, aws or acs tech trades. I've been merit listed and I've been told that selections...

I believe what he means is you need two trade's courses to be QL4 qualified. So for recce it would be driver/surv-op, driver/gunner, surv-op/gunner. Something along those lines.

Thanks alot, much appreciated.

As a matter of fact i called the BPSO"s office today and the person over there told me that  would have to sign up for an informatio session (which i did) but the next one is only in a month. I've never bothered calling the CFRC because i figured that their job is only to deal with civy's and...

Thanks i guess? I realize my chain of command could answer that question. Honnestly there would hardly be a use for this forum if we expected everyone to refer to their CoC for all these questions. No i was just asking because im on leave right now.

Hey guys, please don't flame me if this has been answered already, I did some research however couldn't what i needed. I want to know what corresponds to QL4 in the armoured corps. From what i was able to gather QL1 is nothing, QL 2 is BMQ, QL 3 is DP1 and QL4 is any trade specialization after...

Good points, thanks for the advice guys ill take care of it asap.

So i don't know if it's just the way my regiment works but they keep the bayonets in the vault with the weapons. And might also just be the way my regiment works but i was told by most of my peers to wait until the next ex. to report it lost. What i was trying to do is replace it instead but if...
