Thanks. I will probably ask once I get qualified, so as not to seem funny. And because I should get qualified first at least, before thinking ahead of myself. Nevertheless. Is there a required minimum amount of pre-deployment training before being deployed? Especially for reservists, as our...

I've been enrolled for 5 months now, learned a lot with my regiment's pre-BMQ trainings. I'm officially starting (reserves) BMQ next month. And yes, I know this might seem funny, but I've already been thinking about asking to go on a tour in Afghanistan. Especially that the opportunity won't be...

Montreal, Quebec!

Again.. so soon from the last ones.. RIP Brothers  :salute: You will not be forgotten.

I was wondering what's the difference between a regular's/reservist's tour (modern day, in Afghanistan) and that of special forces (JTF2, CSOR)? And also regarding tour & mission(s) duration, frequency, intensity and type. What if you had the choice to make a decision between going overseas...

Yeah, that would make sense. I mean, if someone can't directly join a SWAT team from JTF2, then it would be the same for someone wanting to join JTF2 directly from SERT (at the time). About using the SWAT term, lol I use it cause it's more common and I can get more people to understand what I'm...

I remember watching Flashpoint, which I find very interesting and a great TV show especially because it's Canadian. During the episode where they introduce Sam Braddock, I think they said he joined their tactical team directly from JTF2. It's great on TV, but is it really possible in real life...

Cool photos. It lacks pictures of American and most importantly, Canadian SWAT teams..  :P

Fair Enough. Thanks!  8) But nothing on the c7?  :(

Hmm I know this topic was cold for years, lol, but eh, here goes.. Are there any airmobile (i.e. helicopters) training in Reserve BIQ? Are there any airmobile (i.e. helicopters) training after BIQ, as in during your career in the CF as a reserve infantryman? Just wondering..

Okay, news, I did my last test (Fitness evaluation) yesterday. Finally, I'm done with the application process. Got a few questions. I'm wondering who to call now? CFRC Montreal or CGG? In the fitness test, steps were easy, hand grip was okay. I did 45 push-ups and .. 33 sit-ups (which I don't...

Great post! Thanks a bunch.

:salute: Greetings Joining the Reserves in Infantry with the CGG regiment in Montreal. After months of waiting, I'm nearly done for the application process. I only have the Fitness Evaluation left, and that's next Wednesday (October 1st). Not worried about that. Just wondering, after fitness...
