When I was there I always traveled by Public transit, then it was $8/way and the station is about a 45min walk from the Mega.  It takes about 45mins to get to downtown Montreal too.

Buy GOOD QUALITY Sneakers Start a run/walking program At the end do as many sit ups and pushups(start on your knees if need be). Repeat. No gym needed/required. What would be WAY worse about showing up to BMQ without being physically fit is Being sent home on Day 3-5 after failing the Minimum...

Keep going in every so often to check on the PLAR, I have a unique situation with mine that I won't go into detail but so far I've been waiting for it to return since August 2012.  I have heard that part is now complete on mine and hoping the rest returns to the CFRC by the week of the 20th. ...

I did similar thing, I managed to get lots of practice at folding and ironing.  My Sgt had taken everything in my locker and stuffed it in a sock.  When I got the swipe for it I thanked him for the extra practice and we both had a quick chuckle about it. One thing to note about BM(O)q is never...

This new system is making me very nervous, I am not in the CF but have an application in for Log O.  I am married, maintain an apartment and such now.  If I am sent away on training and have to pay R & Q I hope I will at ateast be able to claim the expense on my taxes come April.  It would fall...

Can anyone give a number of the attrition rate for Inf O's?  I think that of 40-50 selected and starting basic that maybe less then half continue on and complete trade training. I know that my  basic back in 2009 we had 8 Inf O's on course and only 3 made it to be fully Qualified.  2 made Cpt...

Read what the OP posted: Convicted of Trafficking during Teenage years. I read that as he was convicted of Trafficking Illegal/Controlled substances while under the age of 20.  when I was originally in the Recruiting process I was told(suggested) that I get a pardon for some stupidity I...

I don't see much difference from before, the part time option was always there you just had to click the box rather then view in in the search results.

Why not Try to enter as an officer, then if you don't like it ask to renounce your commissioning and become an NCM? I know a few on my platoon who were commissioned then decided to go the NCM route. I have limited experience on this and this information is third hand, someone else may be able...

IBX. Not entirely true. Each element trains their Reserve forces differently with regard to BMQ. Air Force will do all regular force training at regular training times as this is the route I took in the CF. 1. BMQ would be 13 weeks in Saint Jean 2. Trade training in Borden(not sure on duration...

Our platoon was given 100 condoms or how ever many is in a Large box and told to help ourselves. unrelated: They make great water baloons

You have the time to Train, you just choose to do other things with your time.  I worked 50hrs per week and still managed to train for a Full marathon, you just need to do things like schedule your long runs and such so that it doesn't interfere with your work obligations. Ps. Not everyone...

oh my Dear sweet Baby almighty I spit water all over the place after reading that!

Go to Montreal, it's like $8-10 on the Public transit which is within walking distance of the Mega. Way more choices for sports bars(one down on Ste. Cath Street) and you get away from the Shinanigans that will happen at BP or other bars in the area.

DAA you know more about it then I 10 fold. I only know what I was told, you're data is by far more up to date then my memory 4 years ago.

If it's a tax debt, as in owed to the Cdn Gov. The best thing the Recruiter did was send you on your way. If you were accepted to the Forces, CRA has every right to garnish your wages to I think 75% of what you earn to collect any owed debts. Just an FYI.

When you hit Farhnam(sp?) and have some IMP's check out the sodium content of those, it will make you dream of the Mega's massive amount of alternatives. I found the food at the Mega to be great, lots of options for all different diets(like salads, and soups) considering the amount of people...

if you don't like having a shaved head you are more then welcome to NOT have a shaved head once you are complete training. View the Regulations posted on the site for more information on hair.

Wasn't there a movie out about the US Military that involved a Generals daughter getting raped on a training excercise or something? I think these "people of higher influence" have been watching too many movies and other things. 

You get a choice of Haircuts while on Basic. You can decide if you want a "number 1" or a "number 2" on the shears. It makes little difference as everyone on your platoon will have the same hair cut unless they have arrived with a bald head. Exception is woman, they will not be required to...
