I was just curious where the MAR electrician course is held? Or do both coasts teach it? Also, the 5 week NETP course, is that taught on both coasts as well? Besides BMQ, NETP and the MOC course, are there any other navy courses I'd likely be put through? I heard there were other general navy...

I remember asking the same thing when I had finished my last initial enrollment test (might have been medical as well). And they told me that the dates are set for reserve force, but for reg force, the guy told me that its a lot more loose and he said its pretty much whenever they get enough...

Hello, I'm currently doing my BMQ part-time here in montreal. So its pretty much every single weekend except once a month. So its pretty much 3 weekends on, 3 off. 1830 friday till 1800 sunday. Its 13 weeks (including graduation). During these 2.5 days, we basically are "training" from 0445...

Thanks for the clarification. I've been looking around at life in the military and it just seems that information on life in the navy (on official website and on these boards) is always 'summed' up. I like details myself. I even have a friend who's been in the Navy for almost two years and...

Okay, so, just a follow up on my original post: when at sea for long periods of time, you're sleeping on a ship in what people refer to as "racks", how much is deducted for that? I get it that sea allowance, just like field allowance for the army, sort of counters the deductions of housing...

I was just curious, since the army has monthly deductions for housing/food etc, I was wondering what they were like in the navy. I heard that the military gives a certain amount towards housing if you live outside the "base" (something like 600$ is what I heard) but if you live on the "base"...

EO tech definitely seems like an interesting job and definitely one I'm leaning towards. I wonder, when I transfer from Reserves to Full time (i'll have completed BMQ--which starts in a week for me..--SQ and will have my Electrico-Mechanical degree), will I by able to bypass some of the...

I've exhausted the forces website, viewed all the media files, viewed t he PDFs and have been to the recruiters several times over the last couple of months but there are certain aspects that I not certain about. for the EO tech trade, what would a normal day consist of? The training elaborates...

I can't seem to figure out which technician trade I would best be suited for and which I would enjoy the most. I'm currently finishing up my vocational studies in a 1800 hour (17 month) course in Electrical-Mechanics. So dealing with PLCs, Hydraulics, Pneumatics, circuits, gear boxes...
