Are there any QL5 qualified supply techs/MMTs that I can ask questions to regarding the course?

Upvotes

Might be going on my QL5 soon and wanted to ask someone that completed it as I have a few questions just about the content and what was covered on the course.

Thank you!

  1. I don't know to what extent this is true but I've heard that QL5 is actually considerably harder than QL3 for this trade. Apparently a decent amount of people struggle during QL5 that were fine during their QL3. How does the difficulty compare to QL3?
  2. This will vary depending on who is instructing but how was the atmosphere and general vibe of the course? Was it a little more on the chill side or were there a lot of inspections/typical army discipline stuff?
  3. How is CFLTC right now? I've heard there are some understaffing issues and some other stuff going on that I won't get into the details of.
  4. Is there any review from QL3 or was it all new content?
  5. What was the general content covered? Just additional T-codes and their functions?

Logistik is really making this process so convenient to order a new DEU jacket/coat, since I was recently promoted.

Also, why are they offering me PO1 rank badges? The Airforce WO badge should have a blue background, right?

Any CAF members With Experience With Together We Can Treatment Centre Able To Help?

Upvotes

I apologize in advance if this post isn't appropriate.

I am trying to get my friend into a treatment centre that's appropriate for his needs. He is a combat veteran with severe PTSD and substance abuse issues. We met when we both attended Thorpe Recovery Centre In Lloydminster, AB.

In the last 30 days I've gotten my friend into ARC detox in Edmonton after having to call 911 when he slumped over in my car after pulling him out of a motel and trying to get him to an emergency room. Then while he still had his job he cleaned up for a bit and was about to fly out for a week of work. I lost contact with him until today when he reached out. He's in very rough shape and has made plans for suicide. He has talked about going to Together We Can because of its reputation with veterans in the past and said he would go if he could. I offered to pay for it because I thought it was $9k for 30 days, it took convincing because he doesn't feel good having me pay for it but he said he would go if they took him.

Now that I've looked into their programs a little I see its $9k per 30 days for a standard 90 day program but the information I gathered was ambiguous. I might not be able to afford $27k for the full program. Dose anyone know if paying for just 30 days is possible?

Would anyone know of any other suitable programs? I know he has attended EHN Guardians in the past.

Too many people I know in recovery this year have OD'd and died, I don't want to see my friend die. Again I'm sorry if this isn't the place to ask but I hope someone would have answers for me.
