Thanks for the advice Meanjoe, it's much appreciated. And as to burn shining.......I have no idea what it means, but I will take your advice on not doing it!

I'm heading out to BMQ as prepared as I think I can be, that being said, I am expecting a very serious challenge. Then again, that's part of why I joined. Your advice is noted jr nesop....stick to it, stick together, and we'll make it through just fine.

Course 0227, I will be taking the red eye from Vancouver and be in Montreal at about 8am Nov 5..........see you there!

I'm on the Nov 7 BMQ in St Jean, and from what I've found from talking to others, you'll either be on serial 0226 or 0227 (There could be more, however those are the only ones I know of for certain). You should get your course number and additional information in the paperwork they give you...

031 PPCLI, see you in St Jean! What serial are you on? 0227 here..........congrats! :cdn:

I hate to be an armchair cynic of sorts..........but anyone attempting to be accepted for Reg Force Infantry should not be asking themselves "How long will I have to wait if I fail?" They should be asking themselves "How many pushups/situps/etc over the minimum standard am I going to achieve?"...

Congrats, my BMQ starts Nov 7 as well, I'll be seeing you there. I'm going reg force infantry, and I've spoken to one or two others on this board who are going infantry on the same date as well. See you in St Jean!

Hey guys, just a quick question, as the FAQ didn't really give me a definite answer. I am going Reg Force, doing my basic in St Jean. I've read alot of threads around here (plenty of searches done, honest  ;D ) that recommend various pieces of kit to bring along to basic that are NOT on the...

Congrats! Looks like you and I may be on the same course.....my BMQ is in St Jean on Nov 7, hope to see you there! I had to have laser eye surgery done as well, my eyes were almost as bad as yours, so I'm glad both our medicals cleared and we're off to basic. Best of luck to you, hope to see...

Outstanding! Congrats Seagris.......are you going PPCLI as well? Please feel free to drop me an email at the above address or add me to MSN, I figure it can't hurt to talk with other recruits who will be on the same serial.

Hey........ drop me an email at [email protected] Lemme know your course serial and where you're from, if you're from Vancouver perhaps I'll see you at the swearing in.

Mike- I was given my job offer for Infantry (PPCLI, NCM) 2 days ago. I was given that job offer only 2 days after being merit listed, so if you did well in your testing you could potentially be getting a call soon. Hit me up with a PM if you do, as you could potentially be on the same course as...

Armyjewelz- A big congrats to your husband......I will most likely see him there, but I doubt I'll be in his serial, as my basic starts Nov 7. Looks like alot of people are getting their calls right now!  :cdn:

The Mcpl told me I would be spending my time on BMQ in lovely St Jean, Quebec. Best of luck to you, hope to see you there  :warstory:

I just wanted to write a thank you once again to the forum members here who are helping out all the potential FNG's around these parts, I can tell you that you were all a great help to me. I just got the call today, completely unexpected, as my medical was only cleared a few days ago! The MCpl...

That is correct. After doing my exam and questionnaire, the Doctor gave me the necessary sheets that I needed to have filled. As I mentioned in my post, there is a form specific to LASIK that I was given, and you will hand this sheet in to your OPERATING SURGEON (just making that clear :p ) and...

Understood, the post has been edited.  :salute:

Well everyone, my application has finally been merit listed, and through this post I will fulfill an old promise I made myself. This site has been an enormous resource for me over the years, and I promised myself that once I got through the recruiting process, I would post a detailed account of...

I've been waiting a little over 7 weeks now for my file to come back.....then again, I had to send away two forms, including one for laser eye surgery, so I expected it to take awhile. Just be glad that you didn't have to run around to civi doctors for a minor issue or two (although admittedly...

I believe this to be untrue. During my medical I was told I had qualified V1, and I had told them that I had LASIK....quite frankly, V1 or V2 for combat arms makes no difference, I just thought I would clear this up.
