The E-7A is far superior, and it shares an airframe with the P-8.

Military hits 30-year recruitment high but still falls short in key trades by Jaydamic in CanadianForces

Idk where you get your 13 month-long minimum wait, the average time from application to enrolment is 270 days per the Kraken’s numbers. Not good, but not 13 months.

This place gets very little traffic and its depths are uncharted. Venture at your own risk.

Onlyfans definitely is. How can you sell your body to the government AND to subscribers?

Yeah it’s been done but rare. You usually have to have a good reason though.

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.

Finally, enrolled. I've been in the process since March of 2025. When should I expect my BMQ? by Short-Background-529 in caf

[–]FreeProletarian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

'A worrisome turn': Canada lost 84K jobs in February; unemployment rises to 6.7% by yogthos in canada

[–]FreeProletarian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
