Thank you for the detailed response! I guess all I can do is just go with flow. Cheers

Thanks for the reply! I guess I will be crossing my fingers for Comox. Cheers

I was recently talking to a CF member who is based in Petawawa and he spoke about the Chinook helicopters they have there. I asked if they were equipped with flares but he was not sure. So I am wondering if they are in fact equipped with flares and if there is chance for me to be posted there...

Would anyone care to provide me with some details on the training that takes place in Borden? Is it Monday-Friday with weekends/holidays off just like any other school? What are the living quarters like? Are there written and practical tests every week? Work load? Things to do in and around...

Okay that makes sense! Thanks!

I didn't realize this thread kept going! Thanks for all the information fellas! I am very excited. I begin training on June 2nd. I am hoping to get sent to Comox as my training base and the last place I want to go is Cold Lake (looks like there is a whole lot of nothing out there). Then maybe...

That is what I meant by "readjust"  ;) I have too many watches to know what to do with, so I will definitely leave the ones with metal bracelets at home

Haha thanks for the response. But I think I'll just suck it up, readjust my watch, and go flat palmed!  :crybaby:

Hello again, just wondering if I am able to do push-ups on my fists during BMQ or if they must be performed on flat palms? It doesn't really matter to me but I've always done them on my fists for a few reasons, one being my watch gets in the way while doing flat palm push ups (yes I understand I...

Just quit vaping before you go to BMQ. I quit cigarettes by switching to e-cigs too, but I quit using the e-cigs about 2 months ago. They're a lot worse for you than people think. Its not just water vapour you inhale/exhale. That s*** lingers almost like smoke does....next time you boil water in...

I shall send you a PM when/if I get accepted and complete BMQ. Thanks very much for the offer!

Thanks a lot for the input everyone! Looks like I'm signing up for the course. I'm am I little disappointed to hear this. I thought a fair portion of BMQ was overnight stays in the bush sleeping in the dirt? Haha I guess I should watch those Basic Up videos as suggested. 'Eye in the Sky', those...

First off, sorry if this has been covered. I tried to do a search but it said the search function has been disabled. My question is: to what extent will I learn wilderness survival techniques in BMQ? I ask only because I am considering signing up for a survival course (for personal reasons) but...

Good point! Never thought of that. Thanks

Thank you for responding!
