[rex2285]

I haven't even been sworn in yet. The ceremony was suppose to be on Sept.4 in Victoria, now it's been change to Sept.9 in Calgary...I'm in the middle of a move. I'm suppose to leave for Borden Sept.12 and start basic on Sept.14. I better start getting together the stuff I need for basic now, a couples days after swearing in is not a lot of time. Oh well, good time to work on my time management skills. Better get going, I'm still in BC.

Anyone here going to be going to St. Jean for BMQ on the 28th? Just wondering as this is the date that my BMQ will start! Also, if anyone has any tips or heads up for St.Jean it would be appreciated.

And is BMQ really hard on the knees? My knees hurt a bit after high impact workouts but its nothing I can't handle. I was also wondering what happens if you fail BMQ? Can you go back and do it again in a few months, I am not talking about having to start over because you failed a few things, like what if you get injured? I don't plan on failing anything and I am going to give this 100%, if I wasn't going to give it my all I wouldn't even go and waste there time and resources.

I honestly think the banner on the website should be "Read the stickys first, search bar second... Welcome to Army.ca" or something...

The terms members agree to cover many of those suggestions. Many of the boards and sub-boards also have similar suggestions.

Note: The site's search function has not been working correctly for the past few days. Though using Google - "forums.army.ca", "enrollment waiting" ect...works just as well, if not better right now.

Well it depends on a lot of things. If it's your medical file that is left to be reviewed that should take 2-3 weeks or so. After all of your information is cleared then you get Merit Listed and depending on your trade it may have to go to a National Selection Board which could be very short if not many other people applied for your trade. I would call your file manager at the 2 week mark after whatever part of your file was sent to Ottawa to get an update and he/she can probably give a closer time-frame.

Alert is not a posting, it's a six-month tour.  Just think, you could get posted to Gander, NF!
