Hey everyone. Been on hiadus for a little while. I've been posted to petawawa. I am getting a pmq there, but the kicker is my house has not sold at my old location. Asides from tdra(covers interest and utilities) is there anything else that is available to help offset these costs until my...

There is a ql3 running in October. But unless you are here already you probably won't be on it. The next ones after that are in jan. That's all I know as of now.

I'm here in Borden now. You will have to pay rations for sure. Yeah cannot separate from rations when you are on an initial trades course. If y are attach posted then you can. The Only thing we can have taken off is you quarters. Which is 98 a month. Rations are 526 I believe a month.

Thanks for the reply and info. I'm just finding out my posting. I am on my QL3 for a new trade, remuster. I'll talk to the COC on Monday and see what avenue I can go. I asked for Trenton, Kingston and Borden. But got Pet. The first two would have been close enough that we could still continue...

Good morning. You will be on pat until you are course loaded for your ql3 course. I would bring enough civie clothes with you to wear until you get kitted. Usually within the first few days of being on pat. You will also need civie clothes for your locker inspections and layout. Civie shorts for...

Hey all, just received  my posting message and had a few questions and concerns. I ended up getting 2svc bn in Pet. I've been reading up on the local area, and it has me concerned. My son has a disability which has finally been diagnosed (autism) and has specialized drs and programs in our...

What are you asking for the kit?

Morning, AS an Air Force MSE OP, you do not have to do BMQ-L or SQ as it is called. Only Army do that course. If you were to remuster, you would be put onto a QL3 or PAT Pl until your course started if you chose the Air Uniform.

I think you OK

PLAR requests will end up going to CFRG in Borden. They handle them all. So Kingston may be compiling the info required and sending it off to be looked at.

Congrats all on the start of a very awesome career!

Its funny you mention that. I watched the movie, and the first thing I said to my wife was, who the hell does that?

Welcome to Army.ca Yes, if you have had any prior service they will automatically do a PLAR to assess you for qualifications and Time in trade towards other aspects. For example, RSBP (recruit school by-pass), trades qualifications and rank and pay purposes. I would assume after 20 years you...

Good morning. Everyone has a different story of what their trade is like. Yes, being infantry is a hard trade. You work hard and you play hard. But you are also training to be a front line soldier who protects the lives of other troops. Its your main role. I know a lot of people who are combat...

Hmm, very interesting. I was in Haiti for the January 2010 earthquake. The UN and other NGO's seemed to be doing just fine there. There were not to many security issues that I recall asides from looters and people trying to take food from NGO and military handout points. These weren't rebel...
