Nope, as far as I know BMQ is BMQ regardless of where you go afterwards. Less than a week to go now, I'm looking forward to seeing you there too NWT! 8)

No, I'm sure you could wear a suit if you wanted to. Why one would is another story.

Like Armymedic said, it won't hurt you on your medical. The doctor took both of my legs through their cycle of movement and each made a small 'pop' sound. He noticed it and just said 'no big deal'. I'm not sure, it may cause problems further down the line, such as the ones my father's having but...

Yeah casual but not TOO casual. They said to 'dress appropriately and DO NOT wear blue jeans'. So I suppose something like a normal pair of pants and a dress shirt would be sufficent. Oh and don't wear a leather jacket, apparently the name tag they give you to stick on ruins leather.

Borden... Jake Rubes Jaxston lukek22 govenor_mac and myself.

So far it looks like we got four members heading to Borden September 4th... Jake Rubes Jaxston and myself. I look forward to meeting you all and startbutton. I'm getting a bit anxious to leave already. :)

That thanks went for you too TN2IC...

Thanks all. Para, that link was definitely a good read. I remember reading that thread a long time ago, I guess I just didn't scroll down far enough.  :-[

I've heard that the Canex at St. Jean sells protien powder(s), is this true? Does that apply to the Canex at Borden as well? I'm not sure exactly where one could keep it (on BMQ), maybe I'll fill the shoebox up with it.  ;Dj/k

Sorry I would of put this in my last post but I can't edit them yet... Is anyone flying out Sept 2nd from Winnipeg?

Reg force Infantry here. Looking forward to it, should be some good times.  ;)

Hopefully the majority of my BMQ instructors at Borden will have a similar attitude towards their teaching as you do. Personally I believe students (recruits in this case) absorb more material, more easily, when the instructors know what they're teaching and want to be teaching it. At least I do...

My BMQ at Borden starts September 4th and I'm really looking forward to it. I could care less whether St. Jean is more strict than Borden, or vice versa. From what I gather the course elements are the same, what may differ is the way they are taught. Basically what I'm trying to get at is you...

Well if PPCLI is not in the cards for me well than that's fine too. I'd be perfect content with RCR.

I requested PPCLI and was told that is what I got, which battalion exactly they couldn't say.
