I'm 19, name's Nathan, from Ottawa selected for Naval Comms, I'll be there on the 28th as well.
Just a shot in the dark, but I know some people aren't as fortunate as I am (I have my own transportation), and if anyone in Ottawa needs a ride and doesn't want to pay for cab or bus fare to get there, I'd be glad to have a fellow recruit along for the ride.
Anyone who wants to chat about BMQ or just have a friendly face come the 28th, shoot me a PM and we can stay in touch.

Name's Jullian, 19 years old and Im coming in as a Med Tech... looking forward to working with you guys
Awesome to meet you folks. I'm Matt 32 from High Level Alberta. I posted on this thread earlier. I find it strange that the Jan 28 BMQ is not on the list of course dates.. Misfits from the start I guess? Looking forward to meeting you all in person... Stay fit and stay healthy!

I kind of like the idea of a misfit course, hopefully we get a more interesting mix of trades and people that way. Personally, I'm excited to just
jump in and hit the ground running. The waiting around is what's killing me at this point.

Getting Sworn in tomorrow morning at 0900 EST! Super pumped, can't wait to get all the information. When I didn't see our BMQ date on the site, I started this thread and hoped that other people answered. Haha - a cruel joke it would have been for me to show up there on the 26th and them be like uhhh, there is no course starting for another week. I think I am good to go, just some shopping. A few guys who have recently went through tole me that there were absolutely NO trips to the Canex at all within the first 5 weeks. So I am really wondering whether to bring everything on the list, or just hope the things that they say to bring and buy the rest at the Canex. What are other people doing to get ready?

I'm making sure I have enough clothes for three to four days (I don't want over pack). I was told having your Personal hygiene items for 5 Weeks is smart. We do get a single trip to the canex the first week we are there and we will all be buying the same things, ie toothbrush ect..
Just make sure you have what's on the first list. The second list we will be buying.
Your swear in is tomorrow. Let us who swear in later know how it went. I'm swearing in on the 26th here in Vancouver.

Will do! It is just at the RC. They called yesterday to ask my if I would prefer to swear on a Bible or on My Own Honour. It is nice that you are given a choice, so that if someone is not religious they don't feel awkward etc.
Oh! For those of you who are married or common law: The RC told me that because of abuse in the past, they not only require a marriage license (or common law affidavit), but I also have to bring in a bill or account statement that has both my husband's and my name on it, as well as our address. Apparently people have been submitting a marriage license as proof, when really they are separated etc. That way they are not charged for room and rations while away. So they want proof from either this month or last month that you are actually living with your spouse and/ or dependents.

There are most definitely trips to Canex during indoc, but no leisure trips. There will be, at the very least, one platoon trip (after you receive a pay advance from the cashier). We had other trips scheduled by staff on an as needed basis.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone; we're almost there.
I'm getting sworn in at CFRC Toronto on the 23rd, not Oshawa, but I will be flying out of Toronto on the 26th.

Hahaha I was also a little confused when I got the offer and they said the 28th even though it wasn't listed on the website. I'm glad you made this thread, I couldn't believe it listed a new start date every week except ours, and the platoon numbers skip 81 and 82.
Speaking of which, I was told over the phone that I'm in platoon R0482E.
As far as getting ready, I've got a couple things I still need to buy. I'm in pretty good shape, but I can always be better. I'm also planning to start waking up at 5am and going to bed at 11pm to make the transition easier when we get to BMQ.
Congrats to everyone who got their call, and I'll see you guys in about 17 days!
