What is harder in BMOQ when compared to BMQ? Do you think one would do okay in it with the fitness info I posted? When you say when people figure out its (MARS) not for them, you mean that they are not up to standards for the job or they just don't like it? Why don't people like MARS if that is so?

Thank you for the bundle of info. How much time at sea do you consider to be a lot? Is BMOQ harder than BMQ in terms of the physical training? And physically, isn't officer training (the whole process from officer cadet to Major) for army reserves harder than officer training for NAVRES? I ask...

You'd probably have to go train in between jobs if you are too busy I guess. If I'd join MARS I would have to spend the three summers in Esquimalt living on the base/sea right?. So BMOQ/NETP-O and MARS takes 3 years then go back to your reserve unit and when you get promoted to Lt(N) you go for...

SLT may be taken but is not required for MARS officers right? Is the training (BMOQ/entire MARS course) conducted over the summer for reserves? Do Reserve MARS DEO require to sit through NOAB? Also will you be doing D level training in the 3rd(last) year of MARS training or is D level not part...

So if you see V5 without glasses you are screwed. If you are V5 but wear glasses and can see V4 with them, you're good then?

You need at least a V4 vision for MARS as I know from searching on the forums, but lets say you got a V5 vision but wear glasses, is that still okay or is simply being V5 without glasses is gonna screw up your chances of being anything that requires V4?

Is it true you will have to take a french SLT course or something for MARS officers? MARS officer training is 2-3 years if I read correctly. Do many people want to become MARS officers? I do know there is the crazy failure rate everyone talks of. For a reserve naval officer, is any of the...

I know this might sound like a stupid question but you will be staying on base right as opposed to a hotel for instance?

Hello, Recently I have been getting a lot of conflicting or outdated info regarding the training for naval reserve officers. I have read the forums, some say its at CFB Esquimalt, Borden, St Jean etc. I read on Wikipedia that CFB Borden only trains NCM. Then on the forums some said CFB Borden...
