Looks like your BPSO might be a little off. My (Navy) unit has been receiving offers all day. I can confirm one VOT to LOG has been offered to an NCM friend of mine; as well, there is a message for myself to ATIS (element transfer) waiting for me when I return from leave. NAVCOM's have also...

Hi Guys, I have used the search but came up empty for my question. I am a WENG TECH and have just finished my first year of Electronics Engineering at a civi college. I am trying to find out more information about the promotion to Able Seaman. I know that upon graduating my second year I am...

G.McDonnell - See you at BMQ. Where are you from, we may even be on the same flight. Us April BMQ guys have a facebook group going too if you're interested.

Booty22 - I was the same way. Let me tell you, even when you get the call, it's not any easier. Now that I know I start in 2 weeks, I want to start more than I did before I knew I was going! lol

Precept - Keep us updated. Good luck! Sounds like you might just make the April 11 date. Nice job getting MP as well. That was one of my choices originally. Booty22 - It's hard to say when you can expect a call. Some of us were anticipating April and got early selection in March. It's all on...

I am common law (living together 2 years) and have filed taxes as such. We own a house and split everything 50/50...however, my two questions are as follows: 1) Are the tax returns enough to prove the common law relationship? 2) The bills and mortgage go out of her account (we do not have a...

Squidink, I spent about 5 years in Barrie and the rest of my life in Niagara. Been to Owen Sound many times. Lively, kmcneil is a MAR ENG MECH so he will be down below while we brave the cold and wet  ;D

HA! see lively, patience is a virtue. Did they say what job, or just that you had an offer? Congrats! though now instead of waiting for 'the call' it's going to drive you more crazy in anticipation of all the details. Sounds like an April BMQ for sure. Our tiny group is growing  ;D

kmcneil, I don't think you'll be in SEP. As per the forces web site.... BASIC OCCUPATIONAL QUALIFICATION TRAINING On completion of the BMQ, MAR ENG MECHs attend Naval Environmental Training at the Canadian Forces Fleet School in either Halifax, Nova Scotia, or Esquimalt, British Columbia...

squidink, I am an NCMSEP applicant. I can't speak for kmcneil but that is a good possibility as well. I know the others in my area that got calls are also SEP. I have an acceptance to a Civi College locally, no MI for me. However, congrats to you my friend! Where are you from?

LOL, lively... I couldn't have said it any better. Happy St. Patty's day!  :st.patty:

Likewise Lively! I consider myself lucky to get the early call...but don't let it discourage you. We are few and far between by the looks of it. The major hiring has yet to begin so hang in there, there is no need to worry at this point. Be optimistic and patient. I look forward to the...

It is definitely a shock to be going so fast, though the road has been a long one. I am completely satisfied with my trade and career path. The time to prepare is short to say the least. I tried to prepare as much as I could over the past few months (yes, even without a guarantee of a job offer)...

Good luck Stacked! I'm sure we will cross paths at CFLRS sometime soon!  :salute:

I was called for NWT. I was told the 10 guys in my area that went NE TECH and NWT got their calls today and we are all going April 11 together.
