Interesting, I go by what the staff told me (not a coffee drinker) so maybe you're right. Anyhow, most people (on my platoon) ended up buying red bulls, shakes and whatnot. (at the Canex)

Thought I'ld do a quick roll down of my 10 weeks on BMQ so far. The most challenging part has been week 9, at Farnham, I injured my back on Tuesday and my partner had to transport my vest+helmet everywhere for the rest of the week. On top of that, I couldn't do the scenarios or any physical...

Only coffee with caffeine available to recruits in the Mega are the ones available at vending machines and (probably) Subway. The cafeteria has decaf, most people don't know it, psychological thing eh.

Not every day, on average (up to week 8) you do 3 PT per week. I forgot to mention the pool classes, if you pass the swim test, those classes kick your ass too... the PSP classes are where you'll get fitter.

It mainly depends on your staff. Personally, I currently have 2 Vandoo's and when they do the PT, we run 6.4km + chin ups + push ups + sit ups + dips. (they try to make us vomit) On top of it, one is an Airborne and he doesn't walk when he's outside or at Farnham, so we run to drill or other...

Couldn't find a proper term for it, "pissed" is probably over the top... but I've had two types of doctors, one that would restrict everything, one that wouldn't... I don't presume to know more than a doctor, but lived facts. Last tidbit though, talk to your staff, they can get cold meds...

I'm not saying don't go to MIR at all (even though I wrote it), but if you have to go for minor problems (colds, nails, etc.) go on week-ends. If you have shin splits, try icing it first, don't go to MIR, otherwise you'll get 3 days restrictions. Go to MIR if you have knee pain, back pains...

Oh, forgot to mention I got all variants of the col and a tonsillitis... fun times! Everyone falls ill during BMQ, get your hands on Cepacol and "hide" them... as long as they don't see them, they don't care... And don't go to the MIR, I got 7 days restrictions for upper back problem, almost...

Nope, at home on my laptop. There are 4 Bell stations for Internet, didn't notice the price they charge, probably 0.25$/min (or /5mins).

Hey guys! First week-end off, indoctrination is over. (now a week 5) My BMQ is in french, much easier than an english platoon I'ld say. Much less screaming and jacking. (except with R22Rs - My section cmder is one :threat:) Staff changes a lot, we lost 3 instructors so far for various...

I'm completing my BMQ on Oct 23rd 2009, based on the list you posted, is the next course in December or January? (The course isn't 3 months... what's the date on the right?)

TODAY'S THE DAY!  >:D >:D >:D >:D :threat: :threat: :threat: Don't forget to be there before 1800 and not 2000 as the CFLRS says!  :blotto: I probably won't meet you guys since I'm on the french course, so good luck to y'all!  :salute: :salute: :salute: If you see a guy with arrow-shaped...

I hope that means Comm Research recruits will have the possibility to serve on ships in 2010-2011..  ;D

Only thing I bought prior to Canex are hangers. I'm bringing electric razor (head), swiffers, wet ones and transparent soap. I intend to not cheat with a 2nd kit, only cheats are the transparent soap and swiffers.  :-* Do y'all know if we can bring our own pillow?

So finally (and officially), I'm an Ordinary Seaman. My swear-in was yesterday in Quebec, it was great. It was a big ceremony, command transfers and over 50 new recruits! For those who get to between a small or big ceremony, pick the big one... much more impressive and easy on the family too (my...

Tu vas devoir faire la Qualification de Soldat. Ca dure 20 jours (4 semaines) et t'apprends des armes plus avancées, patrouille, etc. (va voir forces.ca pour une liste) Par contre, j'ai lu sur du côté anglais que certains (rares cas) peuvent se faire céduler leurs cours professionnels avant le...

Nice! Félicitations, semble qu'on soit les seuls de MilNet à y aller le 20 juillet...  :-\ A ton assermentation y avait-il d'autres personnes pour le 20 juillet?

Thanks for the tip, I've never had shin splints (almost wish I had to know what they are/feel like) ... and as for the push-ups, that's the objective, the pyramid sets seem to burn out as they should, combined with chin-ups, I hope to increase my biceps' strength, because that's the obstacle at...

Running is indeed where I need to improve... I have to start running outside, has to be this week, BMQ is starting on the 20th! :threat: Will have to get that Nike+ charged up and ready to go, only thing motivating me to run outside unfortunately.  :-X Also, diet is my main deterrent and hope...
