Infantry dp1

[JoeyTheHoser]

I want to join the infantry when I'm done all my schooling, so I have been doing research on it and I think I can get through bmq however looking at dp1 has me pretty worried so I have some questions

1. How long is it (I have seen conflicting answers)
2. How to get through the sleep deprivation
3. i have read about exams, what are they like
4. How much free time (stupid question I know)
5. I'm someone who gets exhausted from school, so how do I get through this?
6. And how to get through stress if it's something I already struggle with thanks for any help provided

Course length and contents depend on whether you go regular force or reserve, and officer or non commissioned member.

Get comfortable being uncomfortable.

Embrace the suck because without it further progression is impossible.

And ask to join the PPCLI

How exactly can I do that

How exactly can I do that

Do what? Embrace the suck? Just do what they are training you to do. It might be cold or hot, wet, dry, or whatever environment or a mixture of all.
or are you asking about the PPCLI?

How exactly can I do that

For the next 2 weeks wake up at 5 am and go workout for an hour.
Eat half of what you normally eat and don't snack.
Go to bed at 11pm or 1130pm every night.

If you survive then you'll be fine.

Pretty much what I do daily. Except every second week I don't do PT before work but after.

Except for the snacking and eating part - that is never cut in half.

All right, thanks for the advice

Is that what most people mean when they talk about the stress of it or is there other stuff?
