Hey Dan, you and I seem to be the only ones on here starting the 13th. Did they give you any info on what platoon you will be in?  They didn't tell me.

I wasnt told any of this either! The only thig i know is what time to show up for my swearing in which is on feb 1. They did however say they would call and go over some more info before that date. Im not worried about it! Remember out of probably a couple hundred people who will be going through bmq in feb there is like all of 10 people in this thread. If i dont hear anything by friday tho i will be calling.

Just out of curiousity where were you recruited out of? and what for?

It does not matter if you know right now, what platoon you will be in. I assure you that you will know either the day you go for swearing in or, at the very least, the day you show up at the school. So if you are going to bother the CFRC staff, why don't you do it for a good reason.

"i don't have my platoon number but i haven't sworn in yet" is not a good reason.

The CFRCs are busy and you are not the only one on their plate.
 
Looks like I'll be in BMQ starting Feb 20th! (got a call today to inform me that I didn't qualify for ROTP, but that I got the job for Sup Tech!)  Whoot whoot!!

Hey guys I have a Question, I live with my brother and we share the rent together. Also he is going to university so yeah financially he is little bit depending on me, so what will happen, Do I have to pay rent in two places? Anyone has any idea, how this things can be arranged?

You get 3 months of your rent paid to you so cover the cost of leaving your lease. I was told to bring a copy of my lease and a letter from my landlord saying I gave him the postdated cheques. However I also found a friend to take over my lease so the 3 months they give me I will give to her to pay for some rent. They should give you the full rent, not just the 1/2 since it is to get out of your rent.
Also if you are married or have kids you dont have to pay the "rent" at BMQ which is about 450/mth. I guess its assumed you have a mortgage and bills to pay since your family is still there.

The money is to pay lease breaking penalties. If someone is taking over your lease, you should not be charged penalties therefore you shouldn't be seeking reimbursement from the CF.

It's a tricky thing. My landlord is releasing me from my lease for for 3 months rent but is allowing my friend, I guess, to take over the lease from the beginning of summer so that she can have the place and doesnt go to some random person, since I still have a roommate living here. So I guess I get out of my lease and she comes right in. If I actually just terminated my lease then that would also be an issue for my roommate.  The 3 months I am getting from the CF allows my roomie to afford it and holds the spot for my friend in a few months..... Hope that makes sense?

As stated in the other posts, you may get money for breaking a lease.  However, because your brother is not considered a dependent of yours and if you do not have a spouse and/or child, you will be paying R&Q at BMQ.
