[SomeCodingNobody]

Ha, thanks Gazorpazorpfield.

Hope to see you soon, but I doubt I'm going to go up to random people and say "Hey, were you Gazor on the milnet forums" lol. But I do hope we at least spot each other!

Just a quick note. Congrats to the class of 2022, FYOP starting at 14:30 hrs with the Arch March, 25 Aug 18. We talk a lot about getting to that March on this wonderful site, we complain a bit, but it’s incumbent on all of us to recognize the incredible achievement of those that have been successful.

Waited until I got the call to make this! This forum helped immensely in figuring out what is normal and what isn't.
Advice I'd pass on: Don't harrass recruiters, but it seemed that every time I "checked in" on my application (every 6-8 weeks), things seemed to move along a little quicker. Recruiting team at Halifax was excellent -- always gave great friendly advice. Now to find the BMOQ prep threads....

I got selected as a Communication Electronics Engineering Officer (CELE) in the Airforce. I am going for my basic training at the BMOQ on Feb 25th, 2019. Is there any others are going for the training on that date? Is there any group in the Facebook or some other places that I can talk who will join soon!

 

[Hedvig]

Hello There,

Congrats on the selection Mahbub9803!
I'm heading to CFLRS Jan 7 as Combat Engineer.
I would be interested in hearing from anyone going at the same time. Any special way you are preparing for BM(O)Q?
I am a bit concerned getting sick...but that about it.

Cheers!

 

[tribry]

I'll be on the BMOQ course with you Feb 25th! See you there!

 

[Mahbub9803]

Hi Hedvig I am trying to do some exercise almost everyday to prepare myself for the training. I am not very good at swimming and mostly I am scared of that! I am trying to learn swimming but not sure how much I can do till the last time! If you do exercise I think you will not become sick. So try to start from now as we do not have much time! If you can send me a personal message then we can talk and when you will be there I will try to find you (if it is possible) when I will be there for the training.

Hi Tribry I am happy that at least I found one person who will join with me on the same date. I am very excited to go for the training! Hope we will complete it successfully and follow out path what we always wanted! Please send me a personal message then we can talk before we go to the BMOQ.

 

[Xylric]

Damn glad to hear this.

Was a pleasure meeting you in Toronto.

 

[Mahbub9803]

Hi Xylric same here bud. I hope you will get some good news soon. It would be fun if we could start our BMOQ all together!

 

[Xylric]

Hi Xylric same here bud. I hope you will get some good news soon. It would be fun if we could start our BMOQ all together!

Would be nice and helpful - a stressful environment like that, having at least someone you already know in it alongside you definitely isn't a bad thing. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting to hear back as to whether or not I'm medically fit - a surgery I had in childhood *may* be an explicit problem for a pilot (though not necessarily for the Navy). Regardless of how things pan out on my end, I wish you luck.

I know this question may sound sexist, but CF DOES employ a different minimum fitness standard for males and females, with the female standard being a lot more generous.

So with the 5km march wearing 35kg of gear thing in the BMO training, does it also apply differently for the female members? or will I be asked to do exactly the same as men when marching? (The kg of gear I have to wear, time limit, etc.)

Your pl does it together, all the same weight requirements.

This is wrong.  There is one minimum fitness standard for the CAF.

 

[KRY3132]

I’ve been selected for the Pilot trade and I head out to CFLRS Jan 12 for BMOQ, anybody else with the same start date???
