Hey

I've been a long time lurker of this website. Finding many useful posts as needed. I'm in a bit of a hard situation right now and would appreciate some help ?


I am currently on Pat platoon in CFB Gagetown. I was a reservist 6-7 years ago and completed Bmq and bmq-l at that time. I released in the same year from the reserves to do a co-op university program taking my summers away (not being able to ever complete Dp1).

I applied for reg force about a year ago and after everything was accepted as a recruit school bypass. Although because of the 6 years time frame they may be making me redo the bmq and sq again now. I never did any trade training with the reserves and haven't done anything with the reg force just be on PAT platoon.

On a personal side I have been going through marrital issues and since joining and being away from home my partner has decided to separate and start the divorce process after the required year separation. I have a small baby girl which means the entire world to me back in NLFD.

Being in the forces right now will mean dealing with all this while trying to become trade qualified. And also, I will not get any custody of my daughter since it's impossible to be posted where they are located. I feel as if my whole world is collapsing around me. And not having my daughter in my life is not an option. Because of this I would like to request a VR. I know it can take up to six months but I need to be out as soon as possible, as time is a virtue going through a custody agreement and preparing for divorce.

Does anyone have any idea how I would go about requesting a VR, and possibly within 30 days?  Will my request even get approved?  As I have mentioned I am not trade qualified and have not don't any courses with the reg force since being enrolled.

Thanks very much
 
If I read this correctly, you can request a VR after the first 3 weeks of BMQ ( reg force in saint-jean) . I would put a lot of thought into it. I went and completed 8 weeks of basic back in 2013 then submitted a voluntary release. When I applied to the CF again it took almost a year to get back in ( I start basic again on November 7)
