Hey folks, After two years of process, I now finally have learned that my application to me a CF member has been refused for a failure to adequately meet the CEMS. I fully understand the rationale, and would have chosen similarly had the roles been reversed. I have been invited to appeal and...

Jan 05 would be most excellent. Still waiting for a final medical decision from the RMO. It's been a month and a half so far, waiting waiting waiting, and I'm about to miss the next selection for my trade. How much time in limbo can there be? Just want to get it on, get it over with, and do my...

Well, then. I have learned something new today. I did not think BMQs ever got split like that. In any event, congratulations to you for having persevered through selection and got the call. You must be thrilled. If the stars are right, I'll see you there for Combat Engineer.

November 10? Isn't that a little late in the year, or does it split into two phases due to the Christmas break? I didn't know BMQs were run that late..... I have my fingers crossed, to answer your question though. I sure hope so.

Well, I guess I won't be joining the crew at CFLRS just yet. I am required to develop some clarification regarding a medical question I said 'yes' to, and until that is done the job offer has been withdrawn, I have been taken from the merit list, and I am right back where I started. This comes...

Just wanted to add my thanks to those who have so graciously offered their thoughts and insights to this thread. A few observations: For all the talk of ghost kit and cheat codes, I have been extremely impressed by how quickly these types of short cuts have been likened to dishonourable...

Basic Up: Revolutions? So will it be equally incomprehensible, with better effects?

Okay, I guess I understand the shorter Farnham trips, but has Week ) been done away with too? What happens instead? I thought Week 0 was the null time for orientation and kit issuance.... Secretly, I was looking forward to Week 0 as a means of understanding what was going on before the hammer...

Yes, of course, Boris, that's certainly a worthy variation on the OP, and something I had not thought of yet. Lots of other things to occupy my time just now.....

Just out of idle curiosity, has there been anything further on this concept of an altered/shortened/lengthened (God forbid) BMQ????

THIS is what I was after. I appreciate your thoughts, here, and while I had wondered at solutions to the logistical nightmare that seemed to be looming, it is great to finally know the awful, awful truth. Very well. Eyes wide open and all that. Thankyou again.

I thought the logistics of this concept might be problematic, but I am sure I am not the first person that ever went to Basic and wondered about this. So, I am essentially incommunicado for three plus months, would that be accurate? Oh, and, what's a travel triangle?

Howdy folks, I have searched for this topic and seem unable to find it, so here goes. I know that weekend liberty from BMQ is something to be earned, but let us assume for the purpose of this post that such has been the case. Can anyone speak to the available options for timely travel to, say...

I'll be at St Jean for Sept 8. My travel day is Saturday, Sept 6, I suspect by train from Oshawa ON. Finally got the call for Combat Engineer. Will you be holding a sign or anything?

I applied for the third time April 30, 2013, and received an offer on July 29, 2014. That's a long time to be buggering around with interviews and sending paperwork back and forth. And, oh, the uncertainty....! Patience is a virtue, and not easily won.

Hey, I'll be at St Jean for Sept 06, for Combat Engineer, with a swear-in on August 20.
