January 2010 BMQ

[PMW]

I went into my local CFRC today and was told I start BMQ on January 11 th. at CFB Borden.

I started my application in April 2009 and was merit listed on October 21st, will be sworn in on December 16th.

I am entering as a cook.  Previous service in regular forces was from December 1, 1978 to January 1983 also as a cook.

Good luck on your BMQ.

These will answer questions about CFLRS Det Borden / NRTD Borden, as well as the SOP for why they want you to report in on Saturday.

As always confirm your departure dates and travel information with your CFRC in advance.

I am entering Reg Force and was told my DEU will be land forces. Cook is a purple trade so I can be posted anywhere.

Hi there!  I've been reading these forums for almost a year now... no need to post because everyone asked/answered all the questions I had.

I'm in as well on January 11th, St Jean.  Going for Naval Electronics Technician (Radar).  Anyone here on the west coast?

Got my call today to confirm my BMQ is in St. Jean Jan. 11th.
The Recruiting Center screwed up on my file. I VR'd due to injury a year and a half ago. Decided to give it another go, got my interview, explained why I VR'd yadda yadda. I got a call saying I can skip BMQ and go right to Kingston(going ATIS Tech) which got me a little excited(was sent to PAT week 11 because of injury). So I quit my job expecting to get sworn in the 17th of November at 1pm and head to Kingston right after. Then they call me saying I have to do Basic(which is fine I don't mind doing it again) It just would have been nice if I wasn't unemployed at the moment with the holiday season coming.

Hi all,

I'm on the east coast, going reg forces Navy. My process is in the reference checks etc and am told that BMQ will be soon. My office is telling me it will be St Jean, possibly in January. There must be a certain amount to a troup. Are you guys that are going to Borden going there because you are further west than me? Maybe mine will actually be Borden too.
