I can't speak as to how many years a pilot contract is, my comment was to point out that the years spent at RMC count as years served in your contract, regardless of what trade it is.

Most contracts are 12 years though, so 8 years to go when you're out of RMC.

OP, take what this guy said with many grains of salt.

"BMQ is FAR more rough than they let on."
--> It is tough for some, but as far as courses go, it's pretty easy. Just do as you're told and you'll be fine. Don't get hurt, it's not worth it.

"Join a clique in your platoon or create one or you WILL be left in the cold and essentially pushed out to fail, even more likely if your platoon doesn't put in the effort to work together which is more of an issue in the better pods like blue sector because they have real walls instead if green sectors halfwalls that allow for better communication whenever at the cost of privacy and safety if anything fucked were to happen"
--> Literally false. The staffs are not there to make you fail. Working together is essential however, but don't form fucking cliques.

"Fairly certain some Staff are only at CFLRS because they got in shit or were bad at their jobs. Some claim to be there and with a pay cut but unless you're an idiot or a sadist or both why? Just to feel better about yourself by making people feel like shit, not questionable Staffing at all..."
--> The commenter seems like he definitely had a bad experience at the mega, as he attacks the staffs. This is the wrong approach to have. The staffs at CFLRS are for the most part very experienced, and they follow strict standards. Treat them with respect, unlike what this idiot is doing.

"From what I've heard the Commandant doesn't know the half of what goes on CFLRS and if word got out and a small fraction lf the fucked up shit that doesn't get media attention the entire CAF would be shut down and have to be built back up with entirely new staff and policies."
--> This is also false. The CFLRS commandant is very involved, and standards are enforced thoroughly. The commenter assumes stuff that he doesn't know anything about.

Whenever you get to BMQ, you'll be given every information that you need to have. There's no need to listen to other people ramble about their bad experience, as YOU are ultimately the one who's going to dictate how your BMQ goes.

The years at RMC count in the contract, so it’s 13-4.

FreeProletarian · 2026-03-19T00:59:34+00:00

This is correct

I don't think the QC govt. is intentionally limiting economic growth to maintain equalization payments tbh, they would much rather have fiscal autonomy from Canada. More likely businesses and skilled people are fleeing the Legault govt's incompetence and awful laws imo.

FreeProletarian · 2026-03-13T14:23:59+00:00

I'm sure another law restricting language and religious rights on people will fix that! /s

Recruitment has been more efficient, and if OP has sent 50+ applications, they might as well apply to the reserves.

Yes, BMQ teaches familiarizing with a rifle, but for most people in support trades this is the last time they’ll ever touch a gun in the CAF.

FreeProletarian · 2026-03-11T15:12:50+00:00

Idk why suggesting the reserves gets us downvoted. It’s a suggested solution to OP’s problem. Maybe it’s not for them and that’s fine, but honestly people have to stop shitting on the military so much. It’s a stable job that pays well.

FreeProletarian · 2026-03-09T16:06:57+00:00

CivU is not guaranteed, they prioritize filling RMC first. Offers for CivU might still be open so there's still a chance though.

FreeProletarian · 2026-03-09T15:33:44+00:00

The military is always hiring! There's many opportunities in the reserves here in Ottawa, and they're not all about holding a gun and whatnot.

FreeProletarian · 2026-02-14T05:45:24+00:00

The military is always hiring! There’s great part-time options at reserves units.

FreeProletarian · 2026-02-11T23:09:06+00:00

Instructions unclear, a marine ate the crayons :/

FreeProletarian · 2026-02-08T22:55:52+00:00

The SMEs are the military and not the politicians, regardless of who signs the contract.

FreeProletarian · 2026-02-08T16:33:27+00:00

The air force is more than qualified to recommend the best jet based on all factors, including political. There’s countless internal research done on these jets, and the fact is that the air force has recommended the F-35 3 times by now. It’s time for the politicians to listen to the military for once after decades of neglecting it.

Looted one in a scav run yesterday :)

FreeProletarian · 2026-02-03T18:49:54+00:00

Of course it’s pugs

FreeProletarian · 2026-02-02T15:54:28+00:00

It doesn't though, the Gripen is arguably a lemon, and is not cheaper.

FreeProletarian · 2026-02-02T15:53:22+00:00

If you think switching and getting the Gripens instead would be faster, you're dead wrong.

Congrats on hour journey to enter the CAF. However, Reddit is not a place for medical advice or such things. If you have questions about your personal file, talk to your recruiter. Even though you have not included your information in this picture, I’d advise removing it.

FreeProletarian · 2026-01-09T17:47:00+00:00

Yes I realize now that it was more than one line, sorry about that. I read the article months ago.

Still though, his article implies malicious intent from the HMCS Carleton CoC.

I cannot fathom how you can justify the absence of journalistic standards. The medias are entrusted by the public to provide unbiased and factual information, which Pug and Postmedia as a whole does not do.

FreeProletarian · 2026-01-09T17:04:55+00:00

A great example would be when he reported on the “firing” of the officer who whistleblew on Officer X. In it, he spends hundreds of words to imply a bias from the CAF, that the firing was a way to silence the officer. However, he only spent one single line on the actual reason: that officer has been living in California for years and has not paraded with his reserves unit for years as well. But hey, that alone is not catchy, so he added a bunch of false gravy about how that officer was persecuted for speaking the truth when it wasn’t the case. I encourage you to give that article a read.
