:gunner: :deadhorse: :fifty: This horse just wont die! The argument started among the future SIG/CELE ... ie. those identified as having skills in the area of 'communications and electronic engineering' and the majority having CS backgrounds. I would hope that we're all aware of how to keep...

Read a little closer ... my post was about standing up for my fellow May 5th BMOQ-ers! Apparently your little tag "Unless so stated, they are reflective of my opinion -- and my opinion only, a right that I enjoy along with every other Canadian citizen." doesn't really apply to every other...

I was told that for my bonus I must serve a minimum of 4 years in order to avoid penalty.  If I were to leave before the 4 years were up, part of the bonus would have to be paid back by some pre-determined schedule ... basically pro-rated.

I appreciate the witty retort but there was never the implication in any of the previous posts that any one of us was signing up purely for a "signing bonus".  If money was what we're after it would be quite obvious that we're in the wrong business anyway! What it comes down to for me is that...

I didn't realize that was the reason but it does make sense; I have a BCSc (Computer Science). If it makes you feel any better ... I also have a MBA, and that gets me "jack nothing"!

I'm receiving a signing bonus as a SIG ... I was told that all engineering trades are eligible so I urge you to inquire if it applies to you.

We start May 5th and finish August 15th ... that's still 15 weeks by my count.

There's still time to ask about the bonus!  I can't speak for everyone, but I was glad to hear that I will be receiving one.  I did notice that my initial contract is longer than others who posted here (9 years as opposed to 6 for the CELE above). BTW ... I'm 31, married with 2 kids.  It seems...

Name: MacKenzie Trade: Signals (DEO) CFRC  Halifax Since getting the call a couple of weeks ago I now spend a lot of my time scouring the web looking for more information on what to look forward to during BMOQ.  If anyone has any interesting information to pass along, I'm all ears. Also, does...
