I did get my pre-enrollment package about 2 weeks ago. It contained joining instructions for both Borden and St. Jean (as posted earlier, I was orig. to be sent to St. Jean, but changed to Borden) as well as some generic information such as boot lacing methods, windsor knot inst. rank insignias...

I've been wondering if and how (where) it is possible to access the internet while on BMQ at Borden -- given that the pre-enrollment package states intenet/email access is not available to recruits and laptops/computers are on the DO NOT BRING list -- so reading this post I'm only left wondering...

****** A. Right on brother, I hear ya.  We all gonna have to put into this, so ya get what you get, and we all gonna go through this together, so yeah man, see you at course, lets kick some ***  :cdn:

I got switched from St. Jean to Borden shortly after accepting my job offer, not sure why either, I thought it was the short distance (saving a plane ticket expense) but apparently some guy from Montreal is being sent to Borden, and that person is at St. Jean's doorstep.. there goes that theory...

Well looks like there will be at least three SigOps for Jan18 BMQ, that's cool. I noticed AlexD you're going to Borden when you're coming from Montreal, a stones throw from St. Jean -- that eliminated my prev. thought that I was put on Borden for saving a plane ticket, but now I'm not sure why...

Swearing in CFRD Sudbury on 7 January, arriving at Borden the 16th, BMQ to start on the 18th. SigOp here, stoked to get this rolling. You'll all know me by sight, I'll be the 5'6 120lb guy with the shit-eatin grin ;) Any other SigOps slated for January BMQ @ Borden?

I would have been interested a while back, but I'll be experiencing BMQ myself in a little over a month. This would be very interesting for family though, they would be very interested to see what happens when a family member starts training.

This week I received a job offer for SigOp, and while originally slated to do BMQ and SQ in St. Jean I've been notified that my BMQ and SQ will now be at CFB Borden. I'm requesting some feedback from other CF members who've done their Basic at Borden as well to let me know what it was like...

OK, thanks, I'll switch over to that forum  :army: EDIT: is the forum your refering to:     *  Milnet.ca Forums > Milnet.ca > Communications & Electronics ?

I'm waiting on a contract for SigOps, but I'm unsure of what roles a person will be given --both during operations and during peace time-- for either 2 Area Support Group Signal Squadron | or | 2 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group Headquarters Signals Squadron. What are the typical roles a SigOp...

That's the style of real-world responses I was looking for, I appreciate it and the advice about losing the attitude is good. If this is the way it is, I'll slug through. Being told it like it is is a lost art that I'm happy to see survives in the right places. I'll post back tomorrow with the...

Again, No. I appreciate your taking the time to answer, but aside from not remembering the *exact* wording he used, I expressly remember being told I would *likely* be doing some pushups while I was there. Maybe this is informal who knows, but it was definitely said.

Good luck on the interview etc Neolithium, and thanks mariomike!  :cdn:

No, I'm going Fulltime. The recruiter said something along the lines of 'we'll get you to do some pushups or something to gauge your fitness'. That I assumed to be a fitness test. Are fulltime applicants not physically tested anymore??

In two days time I'll be in Sudbury  for my fitness/medical/CFAT/interview. The trade I applied for is Armoured, but Infantry is also a trade that interests me. I'm looking for the challenge, the 'boonie' stuff is a big deal for me, and it seems the most adventurous of all the trades. What I...

This is my first post on MilNet, so I'll say a big 'Hey' to everyone here! I'm in the recruitment process ATM (Sep/28/09) and headed to the Sudbury recruiting detachment on the 30th for Interview/Medical/Fitness/CFAT all the same day (Should be interesting eh?). Given I posted here, I'm asking...
