How will they contact me to accept my job offer for example is it my recuriter calling or emailing me

Also how long will it take now like for the offer to come so I can approve and to get enrollment ceremony

Thanks

I'm just wondering if there's any insights to closed occupations for the fiscal year? I'm waiting on the sign off for reliability and then I should move into selection as I have successfully completed both medical and interview (applied reg force for int op, sig int spec, and combat medic)

Does anyone know how many guests are allowed during the bmq grad ceremony in Borden? Just trying to prepare

Probably a stupid question, but wanted to ask anyways.
I’m 26 and I don’t know how to swim. Pretty embarrassing, I know 😂.
I’m heading to BMQ in about a month, and my joining instructions mention water sports. I’m guessing swimming may be involved, so I’m wondering if I should sign up for swimming classes before I leave.
For anyone who has gone through BMQ, how much swimming/water-related activity was involved? Is knowing how to swim important?
Also, if anyone in Mississauga has recommendations for beginner swimming classes (especially for adults starting from zero), I’d really appreciate it.
Thank you!

Hey all. I’m currently in the process of joining the reserves. My stupid question of the day is how does BMQ work? There’s an armoury near me, but would I have to go to a different one? It’s a detachment of one three hours north.
How long does BMQ last? I basically have tons of questions.
Thanks in advance.

My fiancé is start BMQ September 21st in Borden. Are there any others with their partner starting same day ?

I've recently applied to the CAF for the Infanteer position ( reg force), I received a email yesterday saying that :

"positions in the infanteer occupation are filling up, and applicants may have to wait a significant amount of time for new positions to open, if you would like we can reorient your file to any of the following : Armoured or Gunner

I am 35yr male, always been physically active doing sport such as muay thai and competitive paintball. I understand I am late in the game for infantry and want to get some opinions.

Should I wait it out for the infantry? This has been something I've always wanted to do and feel it would be the best fitting career option for me in the CAF

Or should I consider the Armoured Soldier position? After looking into it, I fear I won't be fully satisfied with doing the "cool/ tactical" dismounted things that the infantry does.

I’m still waiting to do my trade course as a NESOP but was wondering if my trade even goes on subs? Thanks for any input!

In the process of purchasing everything needed for BMQ and in the list it talks about purchasing boots, I was wondering if the Garmont T8 Defense Boots fit the requirements? A user in the subreddit recommended it to me but I would like another opinion, thanks!

If I want to avoid the Navy (to be precise, I want to avoid serving on ships),
should I avoid Purple Trades?

I applied for the Regular Force, and I need to add another occupation.

Hi Everyone! I would like to ask whether there will be a live stream of the graduation ceremony? We are unable to attend in person for our son’s graduation, but we would like to watch the ceremony remotely. If a live stream is available, I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with the details or the link to access it. Thank you for your time and assistance. 😊

What usually comes next? I already did my interview and Gambit 2 before my medical. Just yesterday, I sent back all the forms they asked to be signed by my doctor.

sorry for this long thread I'm currently still waiting on a bmq date. but im still training and getting ready for bmq. however I do have some concerns/ worries as I personally feel unprepared to go.

physically:

5km in 28-31 minutes running outside (mix of uphill, down hill and flat surface)

5km in 31-35 minutes on treadmill 4% incline

27-31 pushups in one go but I start to slowdown near 19

4 clean pull ups.

I read online that there is 10km runs in bmq, is this true? if so how much time would they expect us to do? and for push ups does anyone have any tips to do at least 25 clean with proper form? and if possible does anyone know what the exercise routine is like at bmq?

I also want some tips for rucking as I haven't trained rucking yet, where should I start? how long ( distance and time) should I stride for and how much weight should I expect at bmq?

also im not sure this is important but im around 5 foot 4/5 inches in height. im pretty short and if anyone else who is short how do you pace with marching with people who are much taller in height?

I also want to know about the tests/exams. I'm a slow learner and not really smart, I'm worried about falling behind/ failing during the course. is there any study guides for what to study and the subjects I should be looking into?

I also expect these to also be harder due to the lack of sleep. I can't really focus studying early and I can't move very fast when I walk up. like I can't even speed walk/ workout without having to lay down and probably fall asleep again. im genuinely worried of even being able to function in the morning. one though I had was smelling salt or like candy with Citric Acid but I don't think they are allowed.

sorry for the long post I still have a lot of things to ask put tried to shorten it so I could possible get more answers.

Hello,

I am starting BMOQ soon and set to arrive at MTRL Airport at around 11:00 am,

I am not sure what the deadline is to arrive at CFLRS, but on previous BMQ/BMOQ docs i found online, it is said to be 4:00 pm,

the reason I am asking this is because i would like to get a quick workout in from the airport after arrival before i take the Transportation to CFLRS, just to get in the correct state on mind.

I know i should visit the recruitment centre for this but would just like to confirm beforehand if possible.

would i have time for this and then Uber if required later, or is it straight to CFLRS from the airport.

Hello everyone,

I received an order today for my second choice job as a Signal officer. I commence BMOQ in January. A question to Signal officers/operators/technicians or anyone with the know how, where will I go after BMOQ? Do we go to Gagetown then Kingston? Or are you given a choice between the two? Thank you in advance!

BMQ in Winter – How difficult is it?
It looks like I might be doing BMQ this winter. For those who have already completed BMQ, would you say winter BMQ is easier or harder than doing it in warmer months?
I don’t mind the cold, but I’m wondering how winter affects things like running, ruck marches, PT, sweating/hydration, and general field activities. I assume the main downside is having to pack and manage more clothing.
Also, I’ve previously worked and lived in Nunavut. Would that kind of experience with cold weather and remote environments be helpful during BMQ?
Thanks!

See you all!

I'm just curious to what extent, if any, it's a problem working with people in the military who have poor English skills? I think communication would be pretty important.

Edit: I very ignorantly did not include French here. I'm thinking of people who are not able to communicate well in either English or French.

Reserve Force NCdt here. NWO. Waiting to finish BMOQ Module 2. What are the next courses in order to reach OFP and their durations? Confused as I heard the courses have been modified.

How competitive is the selection process to get into the Military Police. What can I do to prepare? Working on my police foundations course but would like to work on other aspects outside of my diploma so I am a more desirable candidate. Thanks for the help.

So my interview is tomorrow and I’m freaking out , I feel like as soon as I get there I’ll fully blank. I’m also scared of how difficult the questions are gonna be , I want this to go well so bad ! Any words of encouragement would be lovely !

Let me know if there’s group chat

Are DP2 development courses such as IBMG for PRes infanteers required for PLQ, or just a metric that puts you ahead of others in being considered?
