That's the only thing I've heard so far, too. Doesn't sound like the best time to be posted there and get my AMOC done. Any idea of when the refit should be finished?

Hey, it's been a while since I posted on here. I am just about done of my Stoker QL3 course here in Victoria and I found out I am posted to the Fredericton. I was wondering if anyone could give me some info about the ships current status and future plans? Thanks!

My platoon so far lost about 4 people to the express test, one to a diciplinary recourse and two VR's, one which happened in week 2 (he REALLY wanted to go home).

Congrats to everyone who will be on their way here to the CFLRS! I'm currently in week 11 here at the mega getting ready to head to farnham. So I'll be part of the platoon you see running around in fancy dress on the 14th. I'm more than willing to entertain questions anyone might have.

After you complete all the application processes you are then ranked onto the merit list. It is ranked on how you did on the CFAT, Interview and Academic marks, according to the Captain who recruited me. I was told that I ranked fairly high and a few days later I received an offer as a Stoker. :)

You have a service number in cadets if you've staffed at a CSTC. Being a cadet doesn't give you "first dibs" but it does look better on your application in the same way being a Scout does for the most part.

On the bright side, I've literally found the perfect way for him to not think his daughters boyfriend is a loser. ;)

Or worse.. My girlfriend's Dad is a Marine Engineer, too.  :facepalm:

Yes, you guys can enjoy your nice fresh air while I have my ears ringing off from the noise, am covered in all kinds of dirt and have to maneuver through cramped areas.  ;D Also, if the ship were ever to be struck and sunk, guess who is the first to go!  >:(

You're from Lower Sackville? Thats a coincidence. My girlfriend lives there and I go there quite often.

I think I found you. I sent a friend request. I found the right account if your profile picture is of a baby and a stuffed bear. :P Also, my full name is Kyle McNeil. Feel free to add me.  :nod:

Whats your real name? I'll add you as a friend and then send you an invite.

Thats what I was figuring. Sounds like I'll be getting on a ship sooner, but at least we'll all be heading to BMQ together. :salute: As I said before, I made a Facebook group for those who would like to join!

Well, I changed my number one application choice to Marine Engineering Mechanic during my interview. The Captain was very helpful in doing so. It was what I wanted to be all along but I figured I wasn't good enough academically for it. Turns out that I met the requirements for it but we never...

Just created a Facebook group. Its named "Basic Military Qualification - St. Jean - April, 2011". Anyone who has been picked to go can join!

That's awesome! Do you agree that the time we have to prepare, physically and mentally, is short? I have so many things to do before I leave.

Even if you get "the call" your swearing in may not be for 2 months later and your BMQ could be 6 months later. My case of getting the call and having BMQ less than a month later is very rare, I believe. The extra PT I've been cramming in really sucks. I was practicing beforehand but not at a...

Congrats on getting accepted in, Naz! Did you receive any more info on if the course is in St. Jean or Borden? I was too excited to ask any questions so I'm going to head in to the Recruiting Center tomorrow for more information.

Alright, so I have a question. I know Easter weekend is during my BMQ course. Now, it is within the first 5 weeks which i know you are confined to the base, but would this weekend be given off and would family be able to visit during this time? I am asking this mainly because my 19th birthday...
