Last I heard, SQ is going from 4 weeks BACK to 7 weeks, and BMQ is going from 13 down to 10. Apparently they're adding more field weeks to SQ.  Maybe my source is mistaken, but this is what he told me when he came back from his SQ in Meaford.

That's for a neck and above tattoo.  All I can find is this: http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/lf/Downloads/cfp265.pdf

I can't seem to get a clear answer. I've asked members, instructors, other staff, DSM's, CSM's, no one seems to have a solid answer on this topic, and I can't seem to find a canforgen saying anything of it.  The only thing I'm sure of is that I can't get anything above the neck.

I've searched several times and can't find anything within the past the year that covers the current policy on tattoo's.  My question is simple: What CAN'T I do?  As far as I'm aware, we're not allowed tattoo's above the collar (anything visible from neck up) but what about anything from the...

I'm on PRETC waiting for my QL3's, which I understand to be broken up into two phases.  After phase 1 while I'm waiting for my clearance, what are my options?  I heard something about being posted to Washington/Baltimore/Kingston/Borden/Ottawa for clerk work or something, what's up with that?

Comm Rsch, as far as I've gathered, is a fairly purple trade.  Your element has little bearing on where you serve, and it's unlikely that you'll ever see a ship unless someone decides to finally retire.  I'm a 291 with the Navy and though I'm still quite new, I don't expect to see a ship within...

If you're slated for the 27 Oct course, I'll see you there.  I was recently bumped off the one starting on the 20th of August.

My teeth are in terrible shape thanks for chewing tobacco, cigarettes, coffee and just about everything else.  I still got in. The more interesting part is that the dental exam doesn't come up until like week 4-6 of BMQ (can't remember exactly when)

Thanks for the reply! Sorry for the late update, but I finished BMQ and have been on PRETC for 2 weeks.  I'm on for the Aug 25th course and it's now full so it should be good to go. The only reason the element mattered to me, and I know this is sad, is because I don't want to be a seaman/po...

As an update to the previous post, I had perfect drill on my weapons test.  My actual drill test, on the other hand, went horribly wrong.  I passed, but didn't score as well as I had hoped; the nerves got to me. But now I'm starting week 12 on Monday.  Four more days in the field then I prep...

Week 8 now.  I've got my weapons test on Monday, the 7.2k ruckmarch also, the drill test on wednesday, the topo test whenever, and there's probably more.  Should be a fun week; I know I can do the weapons test no problem, the drill test should be a joke and topo is the most obvious subject...

Well, I've been here for 9 weeks now and still going.  Spent 2.5 of those weeks on PAT because I seriously messed up my knees.  I'm back on platoon now and got my cap badge today.  This is my first weekend off since I got here and I plan on enjoying it. Overall I'd say I'm doing well.  We had a...

Well, tomorrow is the big day for most of us, isn't it?  Sounds like most of you will be arriving much before I will, but I suppose I'll see you there!  Good luck! Also, congrats Kennedy!

Wait...8:15AM?  How are you getting there, plane?

Well, torrents have very legal filesharing uses.  As this video is free to view and is linked directly, no revenue would be lost by the party responsible for its distribution.  If the thread creator and the mods give the go ahead, I'd be more than willing to make this video more available.

If there are no complaints, I could probably upload a torrent of the file so people who are having trouble could download it.

Ah, probably my mistake.  I leave for Basic on the 8th and I've already completed most of the process detailed in the video.  I was hoping for another inside look at what's to come. ;)

Worked fine for me.  Great video, the only downside is I've already completed pretty much everything in that video, and I'll be gone before the next one! :D

Thanks!

Yeah, but it's one less thing to think about before I leave.  I'm also tired of managing it; it's a pain in the butt and frankly, not worth the time.
