The_Girlfriend: We don't get the phone call two weeks before BMOQ.  Rather, we get "enrolled" in a special ceremony about two weeks before we head out.  Once the board says yay or nay on your b/f being selected, the CFRC will call with an official offer.  Then, about a week later a letter...

Thanks for the encouragement!

Nixon DEO Sig I'll be doing OJT this summer, beginning in May, before attending BMOQ in late August.  While doing OJT, I intend on taking some of the OPME.  I am wondering if taking both DCE 001 and DCE 002 at the same time might be too much of a courseload...  What is everyone else doing...

I had similar thinking to this reply.  I didn't even find out about bonuses, et cetera, until *after* I received and accepted the formal offer.  I spent five years at a very expensive university for a degree, and whatever bonus is given will probably just payoff my student loan obligations. ...

Speaking of that, I have no idea what happens if any of us with nine year contracts leave before the end.  In other words, would we have to return part of the bonus?  I am doubting it, but it is still a possibility.

WRT disparity among offers... I know what you mean, but anyone who wants to find out this sort of information can easily do so.  However, many apologies to you if you are displeased with my being so candid about the arrangements.  Since the dollar amount of our bonus is common knowledge, I...

I am DEO Sig, slated for the next BMOQ, and I am definitely getting the signing bonus... However, the $40K is split up into two payments:  the first installment of $25K comes after BMOQ (and possibly CAP or Kingston -- I'm not clear on it as my CFRC just says "after initial training" I'll get...

Nixon Age 36 DEO Sig O It looks like there are a lot of new "Jimmies" (apparently the nickname for Sig personnel) attending BMOQ.

I have been accepted as DEO Sig O (2nd Lieu) and I have a Bachelor of Science in computers.  I very much doubt that they will even look at you as a Sig O officer candidate without B. of Engineering or Computer Science.
