    BMQ Civilian clothing question

    At basic we were allowed to have different coloured underwear (ex. grey, white, black) but it had to be the same style. I rarely used my shampoo at basic, seeing as how I had a shaved head and not wanting to be in a very cold shower longer than I have to. Little tip for the newbies; don't be...

    Quick Stupid Question.

    Why don't you tell them exactly what you wrote; the form that lists which occupations you can choose. I think they'll understand.

    What not to do - No excuse BMQ tips [Merged]

    I did bmq with one pair of $30 runners, and they worked fine, I still wear them to. ;D The pt shoes they issue you at bmq are garbage, mine actualy hurt my feet within minutes of wearing them. I suppose you could spend $300 on pair of runners, I wouldn't. Just make sure your shoes are...

    BMQ Civilian clothing question

    LOL...... Swiffers are a good idea but you can buy a generic brand of dust cloths just as good as swiffers at walmart for alot cheaper (forget the name but it's in a blue box). Also clorox wipes really come in handy. Wait till you get your kit issued then buy them at the canex and hide them in...

    BMQ Civilian clothing question

    I suppose you could....or you could go to walmart and get all your personal stuff rather than spending twice as much at the canex. For civie clothes bring something comfortable that you wouldn't mind wearing for couple days incase you havn't been issued kit yet.

    Remembrance Day parade tips

    Remembrance Day falls on a Saturday so don't completely dehydrate yourself Friday night. Nothing worse than doing drill after a night at the bars.

    See Beautiful Windsor!!

    The building where that kid is standing infront of is Dillan Hall, University of Windsor campus. Speaking as a resident of Windsor; it's one of those citys that are fun to visit, not to permanently live in. But it was a good attempt at promoting our city. The bars get quite boring fast and...

    Hydroxycut/supplements

    Hmmm....How about taking the option that DOESN'T give you a heart attack or even worse. No offence to the people on this forum who use hydroxycut but that sh*t is for fat chicks (such as Anna Nicole Smith, who's new body is most definitely not the work of hydroxycut). I'v been there; losing...

    Ankle Boots

    Just got my new ankle boots today after sending the first pair back (great return service btw) becuase they were large enough to fit a Paul Bunyan. They're more confortable and make me look taller ;D. I'm going to start polishing them tonight, hopefully they won't be as difficult to shine as...

    physical shape before boot camp

    Strength and your overall physical fitness plays a role in bmq but your attitude is by far more important. Being "buff" may win you the top athlete award but thats about it. Having a negative attutude towards everything at basic will get the instructors pissed off at you; I learned that the hard...

    Graduation Day soon approaching.

    I did bmq in Borden this summer. The ceremony is some time from 10am to 2pm, I don't remember any better than that as we were up before 6 getting ready so I'm not sure when the families need to be there by. The ceremony is held in the parade square which is directly infront of both barracks in...
