I am week three at basic right now and I've lost a lot of mass that I had before, along with a few of my mates in my platoon. Don't worry though you'll get it back. Basic is more to do with the mental readiness of a candidate than their muscle mass. Don't get me wrong you need to be prepared for...

Thank you, It's been a wild ride getting here. I stuck through and I fly out in 2 days. Feels amazing, Chimo!

Thank you very much Lunchmeat.

Hey everyone, I leave this Saturday for my basic in St. Jean and I was selected for combat engineer. I was just curious what courses I will be attending between basic training and engineer school. I'm wondering because the videos seem to be dated and I'm not sure if forces.ca is up to date. It...

I'm 98E I swore in yesterday, now just 9 more full days till basic!!

I have had a few emails from the RC go to my spam folder. You have to always be checking both. But great to hear someone else going for the same trade. Good luck and see you there!

Right on! See you there!

this forum has helped lots! And yes I def heard we may need to hand write it but certainly not a bad idea to type it first. What trade are you?

I need to call my manager and find this out as well. I need my military service number and platoon number to complete my next of kin forms. Is anybody starting their biography?

Awesome stuff!!! little less than a month left till basic, swearing in in Hamilton on the 15th then flying out of Toronto the 25th! see you guys there!

Awesome!!! That's very good news! Won't be long now!

That's Great! Very encouraging news! Good luck and I hope to hear you're merit listed soon.

Hmm well def check in, I think that the selections for combat engineer for end of July might be full but I think they are taking combat arms again in august. Good luck, keep calling for updates!

Does anyone know of anyone else attending this BMQ? I don't want to start another topic with the same name as this to inquire as to who has been selected.

It's hard to say. There are so many applicants right now for combat arms that the position may be filled. You might be looking at August BMQ which is still pretty good for applying in January. I'm out of CFRC Hamilton as well and it's taken me a year and 10 months to get a position offered. Sit...

Have you called your cfrc?? You may actually already be merit listed. Usually it's up to you to call and find that out, what trades are you going for? Give them a call, might get some encouraging news. I know I did.

Well I suspect that you should be getting some word soon than! Especially with a prior recruitment. So good luck! Keep us posted!

Thanks guys! Good luck on the 15th, hope you get the call! And Colta if there are no set backs with your file there is still a chance you'll get that date, but August might be a more realistic date.

I got the call this afternoon, July 27th BMQ, Combat Engineer! Good luck everybody!

Well he seemed very confident that I would get selected so fingers are still crossed. It's a long haul sometimes. If you look at my tag under my post, it's taken me nearly 2 years to get in. Patience and perseverance will get you to where you need to be. Keep at it and I'm sure you'll get in!
