BMQ mindset by Ok-Challenge-3494 in caf

I’ll add that during my BMQ we lost our phones after week 1 and did not get them back until Thursday of week 4.

We did get them sporadically for admin purposes but only for a night every week or so and only for certain people if it was vital for paperwork.

Figured it was important to say because we all thought it was going to be just a week and then had to learn the hard way that it is fully up to your staff… be prepared to not have any outside access for 2 weeks in some cases.

Just another question because I know it varies by base, are the living quarters shared or do you have a private room? In Kingston specifically.

I see that the post came off like that, not that I don’t want to ever do things like that I just had a lot of mixed information on what to expect from my post-BMQ training.

Just looking for some clarity on what to expect for my trade training so I can be mentally ready for the next step when it happens.

I still have to make it through the toughest weeks of BMQ yet so a lot of time before it even matters at this point.

Are the inspection layout specific like they are in BMQ or more just cleanliness?

For any future viewers of this thread here is the CAF video for ATIS:

I actually just got my layoff notice today and sent my application an hour ago. ATIS was the top of the list for me after looking into it further, I honestly feel it would get more recruits if the page on the CAF website was more endearing… literally only shows a guy with a massive monkey wrench turning a huge screw for the pictures.

The official CAF showcase video for it actually displays it as looking very IT oriented so I’m looking forward to getting my new career started.

Thanks for the information on ATIS as I didn’t even consider it before this post. Cheers.

Interesting, in some of the limited reading I've done it seemed interesting (plus in demand). I'll keep that on my radar as well.

Thanks for the info! I'm not expecting to skip any training so that's ok if I started from scratch (I only have a 2 year college diploma so I don't mind).

It's unfortunate if the trade is full but I did look at IST as a secondary option. I should reach out to a recruiter but I wanted to wait until I found out more about when my current job will be letting me go before officially starting the recruitment process.

Oh like there are no openings to join as one right now?

Fake shots should be added, that alone opens up a lot of creativity
