Hello,

NCM in NavRes here, I am on track to complete BMQ, and I am considering applying for RMC next year, do I need to do both RMC BMOQ mod 1 & 2 or can I skip mod 1?

Thanks for any responses.

[u/mattman8326 → u/Huge_Type7674]

From what ive seen on the reg force side, generally if you have BMQ but not PLQ you need to do BMOQ mod 2. Not too sure about the reserve side but can't imagine it would be that different. YMMV

Hey all. I am nearing the end of my trade training and will be posted out in the fall. My goods and effects are back at home, but I also have a fair amount of stuff with me here on course. I am wondering if it’s possible to have two pick up locations for the movers? Especially if one is on the route to the new posting. If not, I will have to rent a van or truck and move my belongings I have with me back home so they can be picked up by the movers. Is this something I could possible get covered or do I have to foot the bill? 

[u/Vhett → u/Grandshazam97]

One location. As you said, it'd be easiest to move things via a van or truck to your FG&E location for a lone pickup spot.

Where are we meant to be getting cap badges? 

Supply has told me that logistik has them, but it doesn't. 

I don't want to buy one unless I have no other option.
