So far, our PT is every morning from 0530 til 0630. It usually has a run, anywhere from 3km to 5km long. And, or it has sprints or intervals with pushups/situps/tricep dips in between (around 10-20 of each). Another option they give us is circuit training, which is a series of of 5-10 different...

You got me there ;). It's almost as if they try to set us up to fail, and to see how we handle the failures...

I'm sure every course is different, and that their respective course warrants handle things differently. I'll let you keep in mind that what I express here is just snippets from the whole weekend that we experience. As well the experience may be harder for some, and easier to handle for others...

This may have taken a couple days to put up, but with it being exam period and all I think you understand. Here is my recap of weekend 3: Night 1 Unlike the other two weekends, when we arrived we weren’t immediately taken into the shacks. Turns out that the course warrant wanted to do a...

As for the training on Tuesday nights, I would appreciate the opportunity to attend them in between weekends of BMQ. A little extra training, and time with the rest of the recruits could do us no harm. Besides the fact, a little extra money (no matter how little) during university always helps...

They had us (16 or so recruits) on pre-BMQ training tuesday nights leading up to when BMQ began. We did this about 6 or 7 times. Basically the purpose was to get us doing some PT, and give us some background on our unit. It also allowed us to get to know some of the course staff, and the other...

From what I heard, and this is just word of mouth...we don't get the C7 until weekend 4. For us that means the first weekend in January. However, we will not be given a chance to fire the rifle until near the end of the course. As for your trip, a whole weekend is a lot of instruction to be...

As promised here is my update for weekend two of BMQ Night 1 Getting started out this weekend was a lot smoother than the first. There was a little bit of a mix up due to switching shacks around on us, but at least we are all bunking according to our sections now. The first night was actually...

I'm glad to hear you appreciate the thread. Weekend two is coming up fast and I'm getting excited. However, I have noticed a general issue with acquiring kit that was missed on initial issue. Stuff like the long sleeve undershirts, thermal underwear (it's getting cold out), tactical vests, and...

That's right. I'm sending you a PM. ;D

Slowmode,   It sounds like you did your BMQ during the winter at Connaught as well. A question I forgot to ask the course staff over the weekend was if we would require to be issued our winter kit. There were some recruits that already had it, but was there ever a need?   We got a good...

frostvelun,     Thats interesting that your group wasn't issued kit until 3 weekends in. There were a handful of our guys that didn't have any kit issue this weekend; however, they had all been given rather short notice and their units did not have enough time to arrange an appointment with...

I have spent quite a few hours on this site reading countless posts that gave me lots of information. I’m fresh out of the shacks from my first weekend of BMQ and I wanted to contribute my perspective of what went on. I have to admit that MedTechStudent’s recent topic encouraged me to post this...

So I assume that this is implemented in the USA. How long will it take for Canada to approve this Gauze (sorry, I'm studying in the Health Sciences sector, but I don't know what the Canadian Forces specs are)? And it would be interesting to know what the results would be on the long term effects...
