    PT preparation

    The only exercises you need to know how to do well in your BMQ are pushups, and squats...Not with weight though, just squat in position and hold it. Don't worry about losing weight before your BMQ, you'll lose the weight during the training.

    Anybody else merit listed for a combat trade?

    If I'm not mistaken, you get merit listed as soon as your background check is complete (references, ect)

    CANEX use on course [Merged]

    Just going through my last measures of things before I fly out tomorrow afternoon. I'm required either to bring or buy an alarm clock. My question is - Do the Canex alarm clocks have radios built into them?

    CFLRS Internet Site, BMQ-IAP-BOTP Info, Joining Instructions & Related Info.

    I've got a question about one of the documents that I need to bring with me to St. Jean Under Documents to Bring, number 4, it states: Names, addresses, and home and office telephone numbers of three individuals who can serve as your references. For this, can those three references be family...

    CANEX use on course [Merged]

    Alright, thank you. I suppose around $200 cash should be okay?

    CANEX use on course [Merged]

    This may seem like a rather stupid question (And I'm sure it is), but I'd rather be 100% certain about it. On the information packet for St.Jean it says you should bring $150 cash for extra expenses at the Canex. Does the Canex take Debit, more specifically, a TD Bank Debit Card?

    Packing for Basic [MERGED]

    For the towels - Will I be okay to just bring a regular shower towel and no other towels, then buy the 3 necessary towels at the canex (hand, face, bath towel)?

    How to get family on board

    My parents come home from vacation later tonight, for me to tell them that I'm flying out Saturday. My mom is completely against it, like 100%. When I told her I was merit listed she just busted out in tears without even knowing what the Merit list is... I've told her why I'm joining, yet she...

    Packing for Basic [MERGED]

    Got a couple questions here as I buy/pack my things... Is everything on the list mandatory for you to bring/buy from the Canex? I don't floss my teeth and rarely use mouthwash, just brush them. Is it still required that I have floss and mouthwash even though I don't plan on using it? Also, for...

    Packing for Basic [MERGED]

    As I said before, I'm going to buy/bring some items with me and buy the rest at the canex. I'm just wondering about the PT shoes. I had a very nice pair of runners but they got destroyed at a job I had. So, I'm going to go buy some more tomorrow, just curious about 2 things though. 1. Can my...

    Packing for Basic [MERGED]

    I'm just looking over what to bring to my BMQ and notice that most of the items on the list are available at the Canex. I messaged my friend who's doing his BMQ in St. Jean right now, and he says just bring most of the stuff from home as the Canex is overpriced. I'm not overly concerned about...
