There sure is.. 84th Independent Field Battery, 1 FD Regt. I'd say as a whole we get along well with the West Novies  :)

Once you complete the application and turn it in, you should get called in maybe a couple weeks, maybe a month, shouldn't be more than 2 months. All depends.

Know matter what rank you were in cadets, it would very likely not affect what position you will have in the military. Although you may have gained experience that will help your career.

Yes it should...how far through the joining process are you?

If you're doing a weekend BMQ, yes you would still attend the weekly training nights. The extra 3 hours is nothing to worry about though, and would be considerably more relaxed than BMQ. As for "what stuff gets done", that would depend on whether you are a new Private, or one of the trained...

The training on tuesday nights from 7-10 is generally a good time. It's somewhat laid back, but we also get the work done that needs to be.

I am, and joined last year. I started the application process before summer, so the last summer everything kind of ground to a halt while people are gone on various taskings/courses throughout the summer. I'll lay out the steps: Get your application package. Complete it in a timely manner, if...

familyman..where is your training taking place?

To re-word that with what I'm pretty sure he's saying: If during the application process you are told you will join RCR, PPCLI, etc, can you be sure that is what you will join once you've completed training?

So..does anyone think I could make out just fine not bringing my generic metal bowl? it's a little deep, not that big of a diameter (8-9 inches max) so it doesn't fit very well in the top of the valise.

Ah, so basically it's both. Works for me.

QM, which stands for Quartermaster, as far as I know, seems like it would be the person you go to for exchanging / getting kit, etc. But around my unit, it's used as if it's the place, not the person that you go to. Example: "..Over in the QM..." "Go to the QM" So which is it?

Thanks, I should be all right then.

Hi, I wasn't able to get a wash basin issued to me at my home unit before I go away for summer, (SQ + DP1 Arty), I was wondering if I'd get away with any ol' stainless steel metal dish/bowl. Thanks.

I'm not familiar with that type of gun, but I am an inexperienced private in the artillery and it looks like it fired premature because nobody seemed ready and nobody pulled a lanyard. Perhaps a more experienced gunner could provide the answer.

:D

Hi, I did BMQ there just this past Winter. I like it at Aldershot, overall. Specially the food  :D (seriously, I find it quite good). If they put you in building 216, that'll be better than the H-huts. It's kind of like a hotel only with 2 floors, no carpets and lots of bunks in a room  :) If...

Do you recall if it's the kind of place where you can just walk in and swim on your free time or it would have to scheduled, or there's certain hours?

I was wondering if there was a public swimming pool at or around CFB Gagetown. I find swimming is a great way to relax/relieve stress/cool down/get a little PT.

And make sure after you're done and the place is opened up and aired out a little...ask the staff if you can go walk through again! Without the mask. We did. Tastes like pepper.
