    Reg Force BMQ as a Reservist- Please advise

    Makes total sense, I guess what I meant by "express my interest" was ask for it - although I am not waiting standing- very unlikely to happen but not impossible as I was initially told by my OR. Thanks again.

    Mexican Armed Forces

    Greetings, Just as a disclaimer – If my posts sound too “officer related” it is only because it is what I am most familiar with. NCMs are the backbone of the army and without them officers would not have any troop to command hence there would be no army. I know there is no need for this...

    Mexican Armed Forces

    Greetings, I know that my recent (all) my post have had something to do with the Mexican Military; as this is a Canadian Military forum I can understand how this could be taken the wrong way.
