Aug 2008 BMQ - ALL LOCATIONS

[Flav]

Good to know.  How did you feel about the material covered in 001 and 002? Useful/interesting/helped you do your job better?  Was it info you wish you had learned right from the get go?

'DCE002 Introduction to Military Law' seems to be useful since knowing for sure what not to do to stay out of trouble would be helpful. As for 'DCE001 Introduction to Defence Management' and 'HIE208 Canadian Military History', I don't know what to make of it but the more you know, the better you're off so it can't hurt.

It's official - I'll be working half-days at the CFRC Kitchener, doing reception and office tasks.  The other half of the day will be reserved for OPMEs and exercise.

I'm happy on one hand to be getting some military experience before the August BMOQ, but money is going to be tight on OCdt pay for the next 6 months.  Had to quit a job today that pays twice as much to free up my schedule.  I think I'll just run the 15km to the CFRC every day to save money on gas then

Congrats to all who made it into the Aug 2008 course.  I just got my call, accepted my offer and am going to be enrolled early August.  They say I will then depart Edmonton on the 16th and commence training on the 18th.  Wow, anyone else get the same information as I did?  Now it is just a matter of maintaining the fitness level for the 20 meter shuttle! 

 

[Eye In The Sky]

Don't fool yourself that 'all you have to do' is maintain that.  Improve it if you can.  Along with sit ups, push ups, chin ups.  General overall health.  I am not sure if you just made a general comment about the 20 MSR but if so...read up on the link below.

[Victoria07]

No it was a general comment about the 20 MSR.  I am at the gym everyday, playing organized sport everyother day and eating healthy.  I am preparing for a tough few months and want to be ready for it. 

 

[Victoria07]

So who else has been called up with an offer so far?  Anyone from the Edmonton CFRC?  Does anyone know if there is a facebook group for August?  Would be good to get in touch with those who we may meet in August.

 

[bbell]

I am coming from edmonton.

hope to be there. I have to do some update, I was suppose to be on 5th may. I think everything should be done for august... 

 

[Victoria07]

That is great - congrats...did you receive the info in the mail yet?  I think they mail you information on enrolment and general stuff on how to prepare...
