Good content Kyra Chimo
Hey Desmond! Thank you, means a lot coming from you :) We should speak further and potentially do a crossover/colab video! We have two unique perspectives to offer.
@@KyraNankivell Yeah let’s do that, you can contact me on Instagram also
Hey! Do you know if a weekend BMQ at your home unit requires you to stay there overnight?? I have my BMQ starting on April 1st at my unit but Im unsure if I stay there the whole weekend
99% sure that yes it’ll be overnight for you
Hello Kyra, I applied for Logistics Officer position and got selected.
Could you please tell me if there’s a chance I’ll be placed in Ontario if I request to be closer to family?
What is the podcast, please?
Hi, great video. I was told that there will be 2 summers where I need to go for training. Is that the BMQ? I can't leave this summer due to my day job. Can we select which summer to be away if the first summer that I'm hired isn't feasable? I hope there is flexibility if one summer doesn't work out. I will be in HR department. Thank you.
Is reservists training is harder than rcmp???
I'm thinking of going for blackbear and I'm enlisted I need 6 credits so I'm getting my ged in September and next july I'll be in bootcamp I'm indigenous.
Did you do Bold Eagle? I did BE and I heard black bear and raven weren’t ran this year?
Wow, goodluck Tyler! We'd love for you to continue sharing your journey with us in the Facebook community: facebook.com/groups/cafcommunity.yt
Awesome!
Keep all your paperwork because the military WILL lose it. Send everything in emails because supervisors WILL lie to save their own asses.
You will meet some of the best people and worst people in the military.
Use the Military to better your life, don't let the Military use you.
Good advice! One of my friends from BMQ had to do the force test twice because they lost his papers the first time lol…
Hey I was im a university student at the moment and I was wondering how the BMQ would work, am I able to do the BMQ in the summer? While going to school September to April.
You can do it in the summer or you can do it part time which is two weekends a month or every other weekend friday-sun
Yeah, you can do it in the summer. You will have one summer of BMQ and one summer, DP1
if you can, do it full-time during summer. the experience molds you better than pt bmq, imo, because you're stuck on garrison out of comfort zone for at least an entire month, which really forces you to grow
Can we choose what unit we want to go to for example PPCLI
You get to choose a preference and if you have a good enough reason like family your usually good but as of right now basically every unit is hurting for people so the worlds your oyster man
ma'am, I ask something, I you joined Canadian reservist, it is mandatory your permanent resident or even not?????
Hey! Yes you must be a permanent resident or a Canadian citizen to join the reserves.
@@KyraNankivell thank you sir, god bless, take care always
@@KyraNankivellwhat educational attainment being qualify to joined Canadian reservist sir???
@@KyraNankivell I I'm very interested to joined Canadian reservist ma'am/sir, I hope someday I can conquer it
Where can we find out the next BMQ intake date for GTA reserves?
I’m pretty sure it’s not public information! You’ll need to be a CAF member first, then just ask your chain of command. They run many BMQs from April to end of summer though.
Most reserves are during summer, most standard active duty bmq’s are during the cold season tho
What would be the differences and pros and cons of being a full time reserve to be more flexible vs being under a contract?
Might get a better answer if you ask in our FB community! That way you can get different opinions and start a convo:
