If your friend just joined the CF would he not have to still go though BMQ/SQ/Whatever the course is for Engineering trades is. It generally takes something like 6 months for someone to get their hook in the reg forces from what I could gather and a hell of a lot longer with the reserves.
Good on your buddy though.
