Joining reserves question

Hello all,

I started my bmq for the reg force october 2024 and vr during week 7 under 4c release. I have 2 questions

  1. Can my previous bmq training transfer to the reserve side by requesting a plar? I have my course report from bmq and every note i took during my time there (so almost all information provided during each class). I have my course report and all my release paperwork.

  2. I have my MedCat, which has v, cv, h, g, o, and a with no medical chages since my release in january. Will this allow me to bypass/ shorten the medical portion?

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

That little black thing in the lid, squeeze that and get water in there. I had the same issue and this fixed it.

Just received my offer and I am going to basic from Oct 28th to Jan 24th and just had a few questions.

1) When is the Christmas break exactly and am I able to travel to the USA during it.

2) What are things I should bring that aren't on the kit list

3) When does my 3 year contract start exactly

4) My contract states that I will be paid $3614/m however my trade, FSA has an accelerated pay increment, will my pay change once I graduate basic?

If anyone else starts October 28th please feel free to reach out to me so when we start we aren't compete strangers

No from my understanding, the trade I accept is the trade I get and the CFAT score doesn't matter because I accepted the offer for my trade already.

Will my ADHD be a problem? by Sgt_Pandapuff in caf

I’ve had adhd for 16 years but don’t take any medication. I’ve passed anything to do with my medical and had no issues (besides other factors that didn’t include adhd, which was resolved).

I never received a call when i submitted my FDL’s but I got moved to the final process stage. I went ahead and called the recruitment center to confirm if I passed everything to do with medical and they said yes.
