That is all true, kicked out was an aggressive term. Those are all options, however from what I have seen in the majority of cases with driving fails it has been PRB and then 5D.  I don't know why they opt for the 5D with most cases, if I was to hazard a guess it could be because there are over...

When I was first applying, I found a lot of general information on the process, however not a lot of armour specific information for between BMQ and Regiment. This is for Armour NCM , officers is out of my wheel house. Times may vary, but the following is an out line from my own experience...

So pretty much work hard and see where the chips land! Do your marks in bmq and trades course afterwards have any baring on which regiments your assigned to?  I've heard of it in the fire department top scores in the class get first Crack at station choice; does the cf do the same thing...

A bit of a necropost,  with English first language does that pigeon hole you to either LdSH or RCD? 

Given it starts on Halloween; anyone else have their costume picked out?  I'm stuck between Gunnery Sgt. Hartman or Spider  man...or Deadpool to capture a both a comic/military theme!

Thank you Sergeant  Laen, One other quick question concerning follow up paper work prior to bmq. Will they be mailing or emailing the time/place for swear in, flight/hotel info and kit list? I am away from home from the 9th-19th and enrollment is scheduled for the 20th. Thank you, Panda.

Good Evening, I received my enrollment offer and emailed my acceptance back on Sunday evening. The offer has both a enrolment date and BMQ date. I would like to get the ball rolling on informing my current employers that I will be resigning....however I haven't heard anything back from my file...

He said he had done 4yrs infantry/10yrs carpentry. I have seen lots of examples in this thread of taller people doing the job. I doubt there is a statistic for this, do tall people have higher attrition rates in armour? If they do and it's do to wear and tear is there any advice or go to...

Thanks for the clarification on the necropost. That was spot on in some cases.

I was going to post this in the "too tall for armour" but a warning thing said to start a new thread since it was 365 inactive. I met a ex-cf guy the other day and we had a good chat about my trade choices. He commented that I was too big for armour and should go engineer. 6'2 245lb cut to...

Thank you for the speedy response! And alberta fees are increasing this year...possibly to pay for all the suits against them... I've heard saskatchewan  has way cheaper rates. I didn't know Ontario didn't pay college fees, thanks for the heads up. Alberta you can only let your registration go...

If your employed by the cf as a trade other then med tech. Will the cf pay your acp(alberta college of paramedic) yearly fees?  I applied for a combat arm trade, but would like to keep my registration.

Thank you for the replies! In that case you guys might benefit from this information; Dr.Kelly Starrett  www.mobilitywod.com or on YouTube mobilitywod Book: Becoming a supple leapord. He deals a lot with movement patterns and dealing with the minor issues before they become injuries. It has...

From my experience depending on the department  (calgary/area) for fire anyone can go on a ride along. As long as they sign the waiver and stay hands off on calls. Being that fire recruitment can be a long road, offering ride along to applicants helps guys come into interviews and the job with a...

The benefits cover massage therapy,  chiro/acupuncture? Or only if it's prescribed by a cf doctor?  Some times I get tightness in my hip from too much kicking that stretching and lacrosse ball can't work away as well as a session of Shockwave therapy/grastone. I would need to take a full day...

On the cf Web site it says that 100% of our benefits are covered. Is there a yearly limit on physio, chiropractic, ect..? The care is from cf providers from my understanding. Does that cover a lot of the preventative maintenence needed to prevent overuse injuries? Example being long ruck March...

Thank you for your reply! At this stage I'll have to wait and see how it all falls into place.

My file is in the review phase of the reliability check and background check right now for crewman. Is it a realistic worry to be given an offer and BMQ date prior to the beginning of October 2016? I only say worry as I have an prior commitment I would like to attend in October,  of the two...

Thank you!!

After you complete your BMQ do you meet with a career councilor to plan out a potential  career  targetory? To help advise you on what courses to aim for and way to work on any weaknesses that need to be addressed to be more competitive for those goals? I am finding that a lot of the trade...
