Hey all,
Sorry for the late reply. I am applying for the regular force.
Another question that I have as well is do they deduct rent from you while your in BMQ and at a battle school for infantry training? Cause if thats the case then Im paying two rents? one for my place back home and one for BMQ?
A couple things about this post have me scratching my noggin...
First off, where is HOME?
(If someone with more knowledge than I have can give any advice to a possible PLD claim, if the OP is in a PLD area?)
Secondly, what trades are you hoping for? I ask this because I know of a couple Navy guys who were from Halifax, sent to BMQ, and then posted back to Halifax for trades training. When they returned to Halifax, they were allowed to submit a memo/admin paperwork to live in their home instead of on base.
I've checked your profile, and there isn't really much to tell us about yourself. If it is at all possible, would you be able to shed a little more light on yourself so we can give you a little more directed information. It is easier to give ideas that would be more specific to your case, and more relevant than to give you a bunch of general information that may or may not apply to your scenario.
For example, I can give you the rundown of the beginnings of your career as a W Eng Tech, but my information is probably not as relevant if you are going combat arms (Infantry, Artillery, etc.) From your posts, I can only assume you are choosing Infantry, but without any amplifying details, I can only assume. And when you assume, well you know the rest...
Cheers,
Rev
