BMQ Start Date: August 2, 2010

Well, a great update for me! My MCC called on Monday morning to offer me a position with the Canadian Forces as a Signal Operator which I of course quickly and happily accepted.  I should be hearing back in the next week or two with some enrollment details, and he informed me I would be starting BMQ on August 2nd this year - swearing in will most likely be sometime in July closer to my start date.  All in all, the process took less time than I expected but it was well worth the wait.

I was told I could have been merit listed already, they are just waiting for the medical to come back from Ottawa. I also told them to do my PLAR still, but I want to be enrolled as soon as possible, and I now want to do at least "some" of the POET training. I did most of what what POET contains 15 years ago, but honestly, I don't remember half of it, even being a tech for 14 years.

So I may be enrolled, but the PLAR won't hold my process up, and I may be offered a position before the PLAR is done. The only benefit of the PLAR for me is to maybe skip some of POET. If not, thats OK by me too. I'm pumped!

Update:  Medical was moved to the same day at the interview.  A little disappointed as I was looking forward to getting the medical out of the way.. more so because I had heart surgery 5 years ago and know that will hold things up a bit.. I hope they don't find me unfit because of the surgery, I'm actually in better health now because of it.  :-\

I'm a little pissed because I've seen people that applied 10 days before me and there heading off to BMQ right now and all I've been notified of is that my back check is done... Oh well. I just want to get on my way already.

*UPDATE* Finished my CFAT, medical, and interview on Monday. The officer said he wished he could offer me a job but I would most likely have to wait until Sept before any kind of job offer for the infantry. Oh well, I'll wait I guess. However when Sept rolls around and I still haven't received a call... I'm joining Arty.
