Yea true, I guess I should maybe overthink less

Oh SHIT, that changes a lot then lol. When I did BMOQ staff never checked on us in the morning, just the night. I know guys who would wake up at 0400 when we were supposed to form up at 0530 (we were only supposed to wake up at 0500) none of us got caught throughout the entire course...

LOL haha, I use the garmin vibrate feature so I can silently wake up and do my whole morning routine before most of the platoon wakes up. I won't be waking anyone up hopefully haha! But you do have a valid point! I definitely got to be careful to not disturb others. Since I will likely be in a...

I did BMOQ straight out of highschool so did pretty much 90% of the people on my platoon. Before joining the CAF most of us were used to waking up at 7-8 AM, so that early wake up was an annoying thing to get used to for the first 3-4 weeks. If I wake up early such as at 0400 (assuming PT is at...

Good day everyone I hope you are all doing well! I have been placed on a BMOQA course sometime in late June so I have about 30 days to make amends to my training plan and learn or gain basic knowledge of any remaining skills. I have been following this routine for the past 30ish days or so, and...

Thanks for the response! I’ll try it and let you know if it works!

Hey I really appreciate this response, I will try this out and let you know how it goes!

I hope you are all doing well! With BMOQA coming soon there is one skill that I absolutely suck at and that is the ability to rack out/fall asleep/nap anywhere at anytime. During BMOQ in the field I was the kid who was always awake in the day despite of how tired I was, this made the field...

Great work learning ahead, understanding these will definetly make your time in the field more easier especially during your final test, watch youtube videos they will give you a rough idea of how to properly use and say each one

Depends on staff, I suggest bringing it

Ack, appreciate the help!!!!

Good day, Hey, just wanted to update on that situation, I am confident I have trained that strength issue out! Also passed the weapon drills with almost a perfect score on my 2nd try! (might have been a small misunderstanding, I may worded my post in a shitty way, my apologies. Should have been...

Good day everyone, I hope you are doing well! To give some context: Currently a LOG O, OCdt in ROTP CIV U, I got BMOQA in May 2026 so this gives me a long time for me to train for BMOQA, I have been training physically for the course and am on track to improve my fitness heavily before the...

Hope all of you are doing well! To give some context: I am ROTP CIV U 2nd year in Ontario, LOG O, non ofp, finished BMOQ next course BMOQA still got 2.3 more years to go of education before I get commisoned. I am in a relatively easy university program aswell so I have lots of freetime, I still...

Good day, I hope you are all doing well. Short story I am currently trash at land nav but since I am still an OCdt I still have time to fix my mistakes. How can I practice landnav in a city (currently in Toronto rn). I am really trying to get better at this skill so I can succeed at BMOQA solo...
