If you do end up doing your BMQ in Borden I can shed a little light about the barracks for you. I did my BMQ there and stayed in T-114, although I think they have switched to another building but with the same layout. There are separate rooms that have 4 bed spaces in them. The showers had 5 or...

Borrow money?? You're the Corporal who just got off tour right?? Something wrong there. Shouldn't have to ask the one hook for cash.  :P February isn't bad.....for AMT. It will suck if you do BSERE though. Have fun with that. I put Winnipeg as a choice. It is better than Wainwright....

Does it cover your neighbors property?? I know that there was the man in Texas, Joe Horn, who killed the two guys who broke into his neighbor's house and in the end was given a no bill. It's been quite the controversy about whether he was within his rights or not. I wouldn't be quite so...

I agree with that statement 100%. If someone wants to break into my home, they should be ready to receive the same sort of treatment they would most likely give my family and I.

We have one on each vehicle.

That's good to hear. First few weeks are the worst. Maybe this will help them realize it's not that bad and they will continue on.

Best wishes for a quick recovery.

Yes there is generally organized hockey of some sorts on most bases. They usually have an intersection league with teams from different sections on the base. Most bases also have a base team to represent them as well. This is where you have the chance to go to the CF Nationals held each year if...

That was a pretty good one eh?? :D

I did a tasking, for a few months, as a PRETC duty driver. It was a pretty jammy go. You were left alone and drove PRETC troops around to appointments or injured troops to the mess, shacks etc. I also did a tasking at Transport at School Support. Not much driving involved there other than...

Worry about hockey once you're done BMQ. I wouldn't risk getting hurt and not finishing your course.

Sitting in a motel room off of highway 17 outside Terrace Bay, Ont. Fog got a little too thick to keep on going. Ah well. Finish the rest of the journey to Winnipeg tomorrow.

The better half is making me go for a walk. After that I may play some Combat Arms. Then getting ready for the long trek back to Manitoba starting tommorow.

I'm posted to Winnipeg and if pylon is who I think he is we were on the same QL3 course. While I haven't been away almost every month I've been posted there I have been on a few takings including a six month tour overseas. Our base has a bit slower tempo than Trenton's. ;D A lot our our work in...

Well done Van Doo's.  :salute:

Rest Easy Cpl Bulger. :salute: :cdn:

When I was there (left in Jan 08) you had to be there longer than six months to get a PMQ. Obviously that depended on the availability and your school giving you permission to do it. Most schools, from what I saw when I was there, were pretty good about it. As long as you weren't slacking off...
