    Packing for Basic [MERGED]

    Thanks DAA, but in the email I received with info about CFLRS and what to bring to BMQ, it mentions casual dress pants and casual dress shirts.

    Packing for Basic [MERGED]

    And already I have conflicting information. Could someone who has recently been through BMQ or taught the course recently chime in?

    Packing for Basic [MERGED]

    I've found a few threads on this from a few years ago, but no definitive answer. The joining istructions I received state to bring 4 pairs of casual dress shirts and casual dress pants. Is this really necessary? I'm currently a jeans-and-tshirt kind of guy, and would prefer to avoid buying a...

    Is PT done every morning at BMQ?

    I'm running 5k 3x a week, sometimes 4x a week. At this point I feel my legs need a rest day in between runs most of the time. I can build up distance fine. I'll probably be near 7km by the time I go to bmq. However, I'm also doing lots of strength and endurance training outside of running. If...

    Is PT done every morning at BMQ?

    Is PT done every morning at BMQ?

    I was under the impression that PT was done every single morning at St Jean. I noticed a reference to "PT mornings" in the BMQ tips thread. Pardon me if this is common knowledge, but how many times a week do you have morning PT? If it is not every day, what would normally happen in the...

    Selection Dates 2013-2018

    Interesting. My file manager said that it would be 2 to 4 weeks for the background check to clear, and that's what we were waiting on. I was under the impression it was just taking towards the long side of that, and would be finished shortly after the 26th.
