Hi, these videos are very helpful! In fact, I just completed my Naval Reserve enrollment and was sent a survey on the enrollment process - I would HIGHLY recommend these videos would have been shared during my enrollment! Question for you: do I need to "pass" the confidence course in order to proceed in my training? If so, what exactly does that entail? Many thanks!
I'm glad you find the videos helpful! I will have a better answer on the requirments of the Confidence Course once I get there in July. As far as I know it is not timed like the Force eval, you just need to get through it, and you can use teamwork.
I'm heading out for mod 3 in July, are we going to be wearing CADPAT or NCDs for training? I've been told theyve been switching it out every year but I'm hoping to get the CADPAT over blue collar shirts for the course.
Hi, I commissioned from the ranks, did my BMQ in 2019 and just recently completed my BMOQ and i am also from HMCS CHIPPAWA. Both years had the same dress policy. BMQ is only authorized to wear NCDs during their 3 weeks at Camp Vimy. BMOQ wears CADPAT everyday while on their MOD3, except on Wednesdays and on their grad parade where the dress of the day is NCDs. Hope this helps.
@@1anre I went with Naval Warfare Officer. Both Officer and NCM trades are promising, it's hard to say which one is better because it really depends on the person and what they personally would like to do . NCM trades are great if you're looking to specialize in a particular trade or skill. Officer trades challenge your leadership skills and you'd likely be given more responsibilities right out of basic than an NCM. Once trained, Officers often overlook entire departments.
@@caelanrileyfriesen3659 yeah I get general idea between the two & have heard that same response regarding it depends on it you want to hone a skill in a trade or build leadership experience etc. The thing is you’ve already served as NCM, so wanted to know your own motivation for transitioning because it always seems as if the officers do not do anything and the NCMs keep going on and on about them being paper pushers and hobnobbers but that the true military brotherhood is only truly formed in NCM ranks. Just trying to get a better idea of energy, opportunities and personally fulfillment around both stress of service. Because in the end, it’s one’s life and time being spent in the job - so it’s better to have as close as a true idea of what the space is like and the real perception not just the side comments folks have posted online denigrating the officer side of reserve life.
And also I want to do reserve while am in college, is it possible?.. And how can I start my process of registering for reserve Can a reserve be an officer
Yes you can be in the Reserves while in College, check out this video for students: th-cam.com/video/iS6e4Jmdzso/w-d-xo.html You can apply online at forces.ca with more detailed intructures here: th-cam.com/video/OU6eEOdPn5Y/w-d-xo.html And yes you can be an Officer in the Reserves!!
The website mentions running is there any running involved with navy or is it just the 7.5km hike? Also how heavy is the equipment you have to carry..sorry if I missed that
There is a running portion in the FORCE Evaluation (fitness test). In the Reserves the Force Evaluation is done during the application process and in the Regular Force the Evaluation is done on Basic Military Qualification. You have to carry about 40ish pounds of equipment plus your rifle on the 7.5km march. th-cam.com/video/QxoVsBFTqJ8/w-d-xo.html
@@blackadonis12847 Naval Reserve Divisions (NRD) do not offer all Regular Force occupations, but we do offer all Reserve trades in every unit. Meaning there is one NRD per city that offers all Reserve occupations, differing from the Army which will have several units that each only offer specific occupations. The only exception for NRD occupations is that not all units have a Dive Team, and not all units have a band.

super helpful
The link to it dosen't work anymore. They remove it
The link no longer works and looks like the pub was scrubbed off the Fed site.

I was told in March on the TTT that recruits are in NCD and instructors are in CADPAT. Your joining instructions will confirm for sure.

@@caelanrileyfriesen3659 what profession did you pick as an Officer & is it looking a lot more promising than being a reserve enlisted?

Please so a video on Airforce.
th-cam.com/video/E_aReor738w/w-d-xo.html I made this video because of your comment!!
Sounds more like army training then naval. Wonder why? Too bad MOD 3 is in QU. Living in tent for 3 weeks. Prefer a ship haha.
So you would only need 3 weeks of leave for training in Quebec from your job?
That is correct. The other modules of BMQ can be done on evenings and weekends.
And also I want to do reserve while am in college, is it possible?.. And how can I start my process of registering for reserve

Hi, for BMOQ mod 3 , do you have your own room/tent? Or it’s shared with others?
For BMOQ (and BMQ) you are staying in a modular tent with I believe 8 people per tent.
