    Boot cleaning / polishing / care of

    Yeah, some BMQ secrets we found were: Get a Potatoe brush (a hard cleaning brush with very stiff bristles) to clean mud off. Before you polish your boots for inspections, srubs them down well. Aerosol Hair Spray. After you clean the bottoms of your boots -well-, with NO dirt on the bottom...

    C7 sights: Optical & Iron

    "I think it would be great if we could choose what sight we wanted.  Grab your rifle than choose what sight to take with you, or you could be issued both when departing for the field.  The rail mounting on the c7 and c9 would make it easy for soldiers to carry iron sights to put on when they...

    Only One Man's Opinion

    "If you read the newspapers Canadian slodiers are always complainig about something. Wake up to reality the Canadian army is not up to standard." I will have to disagree with that. Yes, we may note that we want more funds but what organization doesn't want more money to do things? Even charity...

    Need to ask!

    Well, I went to my BMQ a year ago so not much should have changed. -Civvies, bring two sets, maybe two and a half. You're bound to buy some in Montreal or the nearby mall when you get your weekends -Swiffers, go ahead. If your staff don't like them then stuff them in your civvie lockup stuff...
