I did not apply for MOTP because at that point was not ready to commit to the return of service, and also wasn't sure what specialty I wanted at that time. Now that I matched I am just trying to get more information about future career options. During my previous time as a reserve med tech, I...
Hey all,
It's been a long time since I've been on these forums. I will be starting my residency in general surgery this summer and I've been considering getting back into the CF. However I have no idea what surgeons do day to day in the CF. I am aware that there are only OR's in Edmonton and...
Be prepared to wait at leaast a month to hear back about the medical, and possibly longer. The part 3 medicals take a bit of time to be processed in Ottawa, especially if there are issues like the failed hearing test.
It's possible he might get BMQ done before the baby is born, but after BMQ he...
No medics take PLQ-L, or at least reserve medics do since we're feild units.
So the PLQ DL's in gagetown are PRES too? That was just something I heard, but no one in my unit knew if it was true or not.
How are authorized vacancies for a course alotted? Is it up to the course/LFAA to allot...
QUESTION about PLQ this summer:
I heard a rumor that the PLQ slated for this summer (specifically Gagetown) is reg force only. Becasue of the new distance learning part they want to test it out first. Does anyone know what the deal is?
Also does anyone know why a command wouldn't have...
So rocksteady is actually right about reserve MP's being more like security guards then police. That being said, it doesn't mean you don't get valuable experience if you want to go reserve being transferring to reg force.
This nice thing about being a reservist first is that you will get more...
Hey lone bugler.
There's tons of information about the physical testing and the application process in general in the recruiting forum, so take a look there to give you abetter idea of what happens.
Weekend bmq is about 10 weekends. (close to that at least). Medics do have to do SQ in the...
There's really no order in how people get loaded on the QL3. It's a little ridiculous that there's no general way of knowing how long you'd have to wait to get on a course. That said, I hope all of you get on the course you're expecting!
I'm a reserve medic so I don't know the frustration of...
So it's confirmed. I won't be sworn in until September and BMQ will be in November, but it's for sure. I'm joining 35 field ambulance though I'll be training here with 36 service battalion. I can't wait!
I undertand that this isn't a decision that one should make lightly, however I think that there are a lot of people that join simply because it sounds interesting. Just as there are many people who join mainly for the money and other perks, and while this may not be the ideal reason to join...
The best way to get them IS to just do as many as you can anytime you have during the day. Seriously, when you get up, after brushing your teeth, at lunch, when you take a break etc... You rest enough during the night, your muscles will have time to rest. Just don't overexert yourself they day...
Actually my friend hasn't even started her application yet, this decision was mine and mine alone. I want to join because I believe that the Canadian Forces holds opportunities that are worth exploring and I feel that this would be a once in a lifetime experience. Commitment comes with any...
The idea of basic has me freaked, and the more I read about it the more scared I get. Well I have until November to get in better shape, so hopefully I won't be too bad. I have to learn to sew better too.
Has anyone cried when they did BMQ?
So I started my application a few months ago after my friend dragged me to this recuiting fair thing at my school. Since my friend was actually planning on joining I figured I might as well put my name down since getting more information couldn't hurt and some of the trades actually seemed...
I think allowing the girls to take a seperate test is acceptable and this should be applicable to all people if they don't feel comfortable with displaying themselves in a swim suit in front of classmates and others in general. However I don't think this should be presented as just a religeous...
