For the past years 32 CBG Battleschool has only run DP1 during the summer at 4Div TC Meaford. Mod 1 (of 2) can be available on a parttime basis but it is run as a high school co-op. You will be waiting till the summer. To satisfy any curiosity you will not be moved to any CBG for the purpose of...

As of right now the PRES DP1 BMQ is 23 Training days. That is standard across the CAF IAW the QS and TP. Depending on which calender days (parades, holidays, weekends, etc) will vary the actual contract length, but generally you are looking at 22-24 days of actual training. Those calender day...

Career first, there will be nobody in the CoC that is in disagreement. Dp1's are run several times every year throughout the CAF. Opportunities for a promising career (especially policing) are rare. You'll have another opportunity to do a DP1 if your personal schedule so allows it, if any unit...

The course is run on many bases. The location that you go will be based upon your Unit's allocation for the course. Generally speaking you will stay within your division/brigade, unless for some reason you are backfilling a position held by another division because your unit has more applicants...

It all depends on what the instances are, if it is for the welfare of your members or if it is something that grossly contradicts some form of publication, than bypass that member within your chain. Attempt to handle it at the lowest level, approach your supervisor and politely and...

Hanwag Special Forces Lx. Almost identical to the Lowa mountain boot, just a slightly higher craftsman ship. I have worn them for Cambrian Patrol, Njmegen, CQCI, BMO, PLQ(MOD6), in garrison daily, and on every exercise for 5 years. They are finally reaching the point of no repair. More...

I can see the logic behind it, but with the recruiting restraints and the lack of line serials open for recruits in most units, I don't think a unit/division is willing to recruit and send that unfit of a member on BM(O)Q when there are other applicants whom are more fit for the task...

There is already talk regarding replacing the FORCE test for some trades. The test is too easy, a career where each individual should be in good shape, fit to fight, and fit enough to carry out an attack, I have heared countless people say things along the lines that it's oriented for the...

I have searched through the threads and haven't really found a concrete answer or reference. One was close and it was a link to a CANFORGEN which outlined the transition from PLQ-L to PLQ-A, though it did not reference the Infantry equiv. I have spoken with many reps outside of many...

Regardless of facilities available, all BMQ's follow a very strict time table that all adhere to. On BMQ you will learn military law, how to properly adorn a uniform, how to conduct drill, and how to use the C7 service rifle. There is a small field phase where you will learn the basics of...

Forester should probably shave his beard.  People are confusing him for a civie

Well that appears to be a very bitter response by a very bitter individual who has far too much free time, unfortunatly after reading through 15 pages of the last thread the most common thing I retained was 'this DAOD is now out of date' the links provided were no longer available due to updates...

Thanks for the post, though I was trying to avoid reading 1000 posts on a thread that started almost 15 years ago.

In only 8 minutes I was able to find the Meaford Specificic kit list. This is straight out of the most up to date joining instructions, it says BMQ(L) but it is the same list for DP1 INF ANNEX A – KIT LIST 1. This kit list has been specified for BMQ(L) but is applicable to other courses other...

Kit lists are available within the joining instructions which is located on the meaford site. I would not bother your OPs with such a frivolous question. They have more important things to do, obtaining a joining instruction is something anyone with DWAN access can do. Begin your career...

I filed a CT in december from Pres Inf to RegF MP, I was contacted and was asked to confirm my MPRR which I did. Within the email it specifically stated not to reply with queries as to where in the process my file was at, due to staff limitations. About a month ago I sent them a email with an...

The meaford joining instructions will lay out the basic items you need. You will be sleeping in a tent, with others on a cot, sleeping bags will be provided, pillows will not. You will be given everything you need except for toiletries. There is a Canex on base, but it is common for instructors...

Meaford is generally pretty good. Though they are having a kit shortage in the clothing stores, they were told that they are only doing a one for one exchange on non vital kit and are only repairing combats or giving one for one on 50% fade. That being said, they will probably issue you boots...

That is both a burden and a blessing we have within our skill set. Anyone who has taught on a course knows the difficulty involved with changing course curriculum. Though the course offers a lot of opportunity for.... for lack of a better term, interpretation. Yes there are specific ways to...

This is a long late reply but is to correct the misinformation. I think what they meant by the WATC CQC Cell is that WATC is the centre of excellence for CQC. Yes they are black shirts, and no there is not much of a prereq to get the job.....I don't know why you would want it though. If you...
