Were You not given joining instructions with your report date? In those joining instructions there should be contact information for the school. I would at the very least give them a heads up because what you’re describing is very unusual to not even have a uniform to wear. When you get there...

When I did MPAC last year, all the CFMPA students wore cadpad with the black armband, has this changed since then? Or are you issued OPD and don't wear it until graduation?

Thank you very much for your reply. That is good to know that there is a good chance i, and the other MPs in BMQ with me, will be on the upcoming QL3. Do you know what sort of tasks I would be given while doing OJT?

Does anyone know when QL3 is scheduled for 2017? I'm at BMQ now due to graduate a month from now. I've talked to another MP recruit graduating this week and he received his posting message saying he's heading to Trenton for OJT. I'm assuming this means there isn't a QL3 for quite some time?

Just did it for the first time at BMQ a few weeks ago so I don't remember all my times. Rush 0:40ish Sandbag lift 1:08 Loaded shuttle 2:30 Drag 0:15 Late 20's male, didn't even crack bronze, although to be honest I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing either. We have another test in a couple...

Kemptville has just about all the retail you'd need. As far as bus services, there is absolutely none. Ottawa transit (OC Transpo) does have park & rides in most suburbs, that you could drive to and ride from there though. A friend of mine drives from kemptville for 30 mins to Moodie Dr. And...

Kemptville isn't that far. About 45 mins from Ottawa on a good day. You're only 10 mins to the most southern city boundary of Ottawa, but still quite rural. 45-50 mins from Ottawa itself. It'd be about 30 mins to Carling campus. Kemptville is right beside the highway so it isn't a bad trip into...

Life long Ottawa resident here, starting with the CF next week, I most certainly will not be posted to Ottawa but perhaps I can answer a few questions about the city. I live in Kanata, the commute to downtown is brutal during the winter (over an hour on average). In the summer for some reason...

It still hasn't really hit but I drew up my resignation letter for work, I'm handing it in next week..I have to give 4 weeks notice under my contract, but I guess then it will really start to feel real. Looking forward to meeting you all in a little over a month!

Glad to see more of us filling out the March 20 BMQ! Looking forward to meeting everyone. Here's my timeline...And no it's not a typo, I did apply back in 2013. Recruting Center: Ottawa Regular/Reserve: Regular Officer/NCM: NCM Trade Choice: Military Police Application Date: re-applied March...

That makes perfect sense, and significantly shortens the time until Cpl. The back pay is an added bonus I hadn't considered before. I'm going to have to get used to all these acronyms and different courses now that I've joined the CAF. You have been a great help however, so thank you. I will...

Thanks for the reply, I guess it seems to depend on the circumstances when I get to that point. If I don't get BMQ-L right away, how does that work for the promotion to Cpl? I know during BMQ I will be a Pvt., But I thought the promotion happened after the completion of BMQ and BMQ-L. Pay...

If the dates run pretty similar to this, would a recruit be sent straight from BMQ to QL3? I'm asking because I start BMQ March 20, and based on the length of the courses, I wouldn't have time to do BMQ & BMQ-L before the August QL3. Is it a requirement to do BMQ-L first, if so would I then be...

Got my offer today, coming in from Ottawa.

Are you applying PRes or RegF MP? the numbers are probably different for hiring this year. the federal government budget operates from April to March every year, so that's why the numbers reset in April as it is the start of a new fiscal year. Also, if you are applying RegF you'd have to...

Wow, that's great thank you very much. I am surprised there are still so many spots this late in the Fiscal year. When I interviewed in july I was told there were 70-odd spots, so they have not even filled half of those positions. Thanks again! Hopefully we all get some good news soon.

33 battalion is the reserve group in Ottawa. Send them an email, and see if they are hiring. It may be entirely possible that they aren't hiring for MP, however I do know they were hiring for other trades. PRes aren't going to get more than a few days pay per month however, so you'll need...

Has anyone that attended the most recent MPAC heard anything back?

Great, thank you. I figured the clerk will contact me with more information, so far she's only asked how I want to travel there and I haven't heard since. Will I even have time for PT there? I workout every day, I know we are supposed to act natural at MPAC, but would going for PT after course...
