[AllForTheTeam100]

I recently applied to join the forces, but the occupation I want to go into, medical technician, is not currently hiring. I have decided to go into supply technician, as I am eager to join the forces. I am wondering, is there a way I may be able to change occupations when med tech is again hiring?

[CanadianArmyNews]

@AllForTheTeam100 According to this chart:

forces.ca/en/jobexplorer/brows­­ejobs-70

The position of Medical Technician is now accepting applications. Acceptance in to any trade is based on the Army's need; in addition, all educational and military requirements must be met. For more information about this topic, please contact your local recruiting office.

I was wondering if you could do a basic up season 3 on a reserve BMQ?

[CanadianArmyNews]

@maplecreek662 There are currently no plans for a Basic Up season 3; however, ideas and suggestions are always welcome.

@kop4321 Ohhhh... in the spirit of trolling.

You know what is funny?

When you say that, you say it for the joke, but when I say:

"Your military is nothing compare to ours. Our smallest branch is three times the size of your entire military with a much more difficult training, and your country along with your arm forces is our bitch"

It is just the truth but with some emotive language.

I didn't even want to troll, oh well.

@Hackerkid16 cool story bro

[Ppowns]

just applied for combat engineer, going to write my cfat tuesday. The online practice test provided seems way to easy, im wondering if they made the basic look a little easier throughout this series then it really is as they do for the test.

Compared to training in The US army they have it easy, in the us army the yell at you for every single thing the pushups you would be doing for the bathroom and the dust bunny which I though was funny lol, every time I see a video of different armies training it looks so easy to what we go through in basic in the US army like the army just requires so much especially army ranger the first day you pretty much get put to work for 13 hours with running wrestling carrying eachother around its rid g

@CanadianArmyNews What can I do if I don't have 5 referents to join the Regular Force? These conditions are wayyyyy over the top (no family members, no friends... WTF)... I have like 1 or 2 who matches those conditions... Does that mean I can't join? That would be ridiculous!

5:20 I need clippers that good!

Whenever I try to shave the heads of one of my cadets it takes a while to get it!

[TankMan19441]

How long is the training to become an armoured soldier?

[hockeyfund123]

@AllForTheTeam100 Don't join one trade if you really want another, it is soo hard to change trades once you are in. Trust me I finished BMQ in June and there are people I know trying since I started basic to change to another trade. Its been over a year and still hasen't happened. wait and join the trade you really want and would be proud to be part of the forces as!
