That sucks dude, i suppose we could say at least its a bmq and not a more... higher level course? i was 4 days on base in meaford before my shoulder caused a medical rtu as well, hopefully I should be back on course in a few weeks mind you... they are running a few sq's this summer luckily.

oh boy... poor troops that think OS is a good place to spend your weekend :) let me tell you if you LIVE here, it is even worse. and hey, see ya'll in meaford tomorrow

if you dont have joining instructions you need to get them ASAP. that includes all need to know info for the course...

lost warrior, I have seen that somewhat on my courses so far... but for the most part our course staff would never allow them... infact our pre-sq sgt has a saying for them, involving the words weak-knee'd... you can figure out the rest. anyways, I think for the most part if you are that...

still have c9 and c6 here in meaford

agh... im sure some of you have played the bf2 demo by now? im pretty angry at the eroneous graphics card requirements... plenty of people are being cut out simply because they wanted to use a very weird shader version... basically anything geforce 4, 3... or ati cards below 9700 cant play the...

bf2 is on pre-order... cause when I saw the m249 being fired I had to buy it. you guys must know of operation flashpoint 2 coming out... also another good one picking up gta - san andreas tomorrow. F.E.A.R looks nice, I got into the beta but couldnt play cause all of the 'beta keys' were...

Grey & Simcoe Foresters Owen Sound armory also host a co-op... I am actually doing my pre-sq with them right now (as opposed to driving down to toronto every weekend).

Well I'll give you some personal experience from my BMQ FutureTrooper... Basically get as prepared as you can, but the staff will find a weak spot in you and exploit it... or it will naturally come out during PT and glare infront of them :) Personally I suck at running, I know this... so on...

Running in combat boots.. cant say I have any real say on that... since all I have known since being in is 'no running in combat boots'. Although they still manage to make us 'walk' at a really good clip in them  >:D And as far as running cadences go... personally when running at home I throw...

Some pictures from the fire in Borden... And mind you they dont even begin to take in the size of the fire :)

swim wear for bmq? im confused... but we just finished out 2nd last weekend before grad... and have not touched a pool. why are some recruits doing swimming while others dont on bmq? is this something we will get on sq?

aye considering the # of people we had standing literally in the fire... my bmq's 45 or some odd troops... plus staff.... plus an officers course worth... and whoever else they wrangled in to help us out. i think the most we got was one guy complained of possible smoke inhilation... and a few...

Yea it was intense... totally unexpected I'd be fighting a fire all day long.... All the staff I asked said thats the biggest fire they've seen on base before, and I can believe it.

Yep.... I was there front and centre with my BMQ. We were setting up for our Nav Ex on sat morning, and had a small pyrotechnics display before jumping off... 2 of the 3 para flares we fired off landed in the very dry grass.... noticed the smoke approx 5-6 minutes later.... by the time our...

Now I can never hope to be para-qualified... shoulder wouldn't like it so much, so this is just a small defence for us res folk... Why the big kick to us anyways? I know at least one very nice and very CAPABLE para-qualified Sgt. that I'm sure if he felt like it, could roll with the reg boys...

cool, well i dunno .... tried calling course staff? im sure a helpfull mcpl could give you some directions   >:D and yea... its nav and gas hut, im thinking all of saturday we will be out trudging through the bush hopefully, and sunday do some gas inhalation. with ANY luck it will actually...

did you try mapquest? mapquest is the saviour of all ... maps.... what weekend are you missing? we are doing gas hut this weekend! :D i hope you dont miss that fun... :0 see ya there

the pre-test there is no pull-ups..... just situps, step test and pushups... oh and grip test. on bmq we have done two tests thus far, a 1.5 mile run, situps, pushups and pull-ups. they are looking for improvement in each test, i only did a few pullups on the first try... cause i screwed up...

yea... in an interview with hartman he said he didnt even know what a reacharound was at the time, but figured it fit pretty good :D
