Halifax and Kingston would be great postings... the ONLY reason I don't want Edmonton is because I already live here.  I am an Oilers and Eskimos fan (hate me if you will lol) but I want out of this city.  I miss living on the east coast.  That being said... if I get posted to Etown I will make...

I don't have my plane ticket or joining instructions yet either.  I was told by my file manager that I will receive the joining instructions by mid January and not sure when I get my plane ticket.  Perhaps they give you the plane ticket when you get sworn in?? I don't swear in until Feb 19th so...

Glad there is finally another girl!!! What are you going in for? Will see you there.

What are some of the courses that will be made available to me? I have heard a little about the parachute rigger course which I am super interested in... much to my mother's chagrin! But what other options are available to me as a future sup tech? And yes I realize this is all down the road but...

Good stuff! Thanks for all the info Vern.  I am sure I will come up with more questions as time goes by.  Guess I will just keep up with my physical training to prepare for basic.  Sadly I have to wait until Feb 22nd to get started.  But as I have heard from a few of my military friends... the...

Oh that 2x2 cubicle doesn't sound too fun LOL.  Honestly at this point in the game I am just glad I have been hired, and know even though I may "request" certain postings its really a crap shoot and I could end up anywhere.  How likely is it for me to get sent overseas as a Sup Tech? I realize...

Thanks Vern! Its funny you say that about NDHQ as a friend of mine told me to apply there as that is where he is currently posted.  Mind you he is a Geo Tech.  But I am leaning more towards Kingston or Halifax but have a feeling I will end up back here in Edmonton LOL.

I am currently waiting to start my BMQ in February but have a few questions about my trade as Sup Tech (army - Reg Force).  1. What is a good posting for this trade? 2. Will I be taking SQ (BMQ-L) after I finish basic or is that later on, say after I complete my MOC training? I only ask this...

Yes you are correct Turbonium I was referring to the 10 wks comment.  I can't see them pulling back on the training to get rid of what they have already integrated into the 13-14 week course.  Sorry if I wasn't clear.

From what I hear they have extended the training to 14 weeks to now include part of SQ (BMQ-L).  Not sure how true that is but just what I have heard from a couple of my army friends.  Apparently the SQ course is now only 4 weeks long... so really your training is the same length of time just...

Me too!  :nod: I just hope I survive the entire 14 weeks LOL

Yes I get sworn in on the 19th and fly out on the 20th.  There are 2 platoons for the 22nd though... do you guys know which one you are in?

I will be there Feb 22 too... as a Sup Tech and I am from Edmonton.
