Yes, once your 5's qualified, then your Acting/lacking is removed. 

No spec doesn't commence once your provisional is removed.  For an ATIS tech, you have to do your OJT 5's Pkg and then once everything is signed off and sent up the chain, then does your spec pay kick in. 

Most definitely!!!!

No, had a hard time getting my 5's started.  Long story to do with some higher ups not agreeing with DE's.  It finally took a pissed off Career Manager to make a phone call to get my 5's started.  Only took a few weeks to get it all signed off.

That is exactly what I was trying to say.  Someone had stated that you needed your QL 5 before you could get your Cpl's.  I was saying no that you don't need it for your Cpl's, you need your QL5 (as a Cpl) for your spec.  I don't recall ever saying for a Pte.  I am not a Pte. 

I entered as semi skilled Direct entry.  I came in as a Cpl upon succesfull completion of my BMQ.  I received my promotion on my grad parade at BMQ.  I was never in the reg or reserves before.  I just happen to have a #$%^ load of education to come in as a Cpl.  In the tech trades (I am an ATIS...

Just to let you know, ATIS trade no longer has a signing bonus.  They did away with that in 04.  I just missed the boat on that one, however did receive my Cpl's after graduation from BMQ.  So all was not lost.

Singing our National Anthem on our rucksack marches.  Still gives me goose bumps thinking about it. 

Hi Mirage, I am currently on my BMQ.  Just 3 weeks to go.  As far as BC goes, bring enough with you.  When you go out to Farnham, don't take the pink (sugar pills) just keep taking the actual BC Pills so that you don't end up with your cycle out there.  The women in our platoon were taken aside...

Hi all, Sorry to cut in on your post but does anyone know what the accomodations are like for someone who is going to be living in single's quarters for 6 months?  I am not on trades training.  Entering as a Cpl and will be there for my 6month OJE.  I have been informed that I will have a...

Hi Shadow Cat, Yes I am direct entry as semi-skilled and am posted to Borden.  I am going there to work, not for training and not for PAT.  I don't know how long my posting there is for as I have yet to receive that information and am not sure if they give you that information until you are...

Thanks for the quick response George. I have done the research in the aspect that there are available PMQ's.  Not sure what you meant by "Remember, Staff are not treated like Students when they live in Quarters."  Could you please clarify?  I am not going to be a student in Borden if that is...

I have read a lot of information in regards to different PMQ's in different bases.  I have seen a few posts in regards to Borden's PMQ's but most of them have been "when I was there 15 years ago..."  I am posted there after Basic training and was hoping to get a PMQ (I am single and don't wish...

Hi ab136 I am as ready as I am ever going to be.  Everything is packed, just a matter of remembering to cancel all the little things (phone, internet ect) Clean out the fridge and unplug everything.  lol  Just trying to fit in visiting with all of my friends to say goodbye, that is the tough...

Hi Fry, I think if you click on my profile, you can see when I first registered.  Kind of hard for me to change that.  P

Hi Mojo, I don't know how he came to that assumption either considering if you look at my profile I am female and I registered onto this site back in March.  I have posted a pic so perhaps he can tell me where he sees the resemblance to pfree. lol Pamela

Well I am not sure as to what a P-free looks like, or for that matter what a P-free is.  Could you fill me in please? Thanks Pamela
