    The BMQ that m410 referred to that's being run by the BCR started 05 Jan, so you are too late. The next serials near you will be this summer in Chilliwack. If you aren't already enrolled, start the process as it takes a while. Good luck.

    The SQ has changed in length significantly since it was first implemented a couple of years ago. In the initial version, the successful candidate would become qualified SQ, driver wheeled and comms.  (Note: I'm using the older terms that were applicable at the time - driver wheeled no longer...

    Need Guidance on Rucksack March

    #1, ensure your rucksack is packed evenly and the valise is centred.  You may have more weight on one side, hence it is dragging on your shoulder. #2, try to keep the weight towards the top (i.e. heavy items).  If your ruck's centre of gravity is low, it will drag you backwards.  In any case...

    DP1 Field Ex?

    The final ex for the PRes DP 1 Inf is 3 x days as per the optimum timetable in the TP.  However, as others have alluded to, this may vary for the serial you are on.  Additionally, range days may be incorporated into overnights if travel time is required for the various ranges.

    The Quality of our Training

    Judging by some, but not all, of the remarks I think some people don't have an understanding of how courses are developed and modified.  I don't pretend to have all the answers, but i will try and clarify a few things (from an Army perspective as those are the courses I deal with). 1.  All...

    Regarding the weekend DP 1 Infantry course, 38 CBG is running on in Winnipeg and serials were also run last winter in Winnipeg and Regina/Saskatoon.

    All Tigers, No Donkeys - by Kurt Grant

    That was Engr Recce out checking a route.  Generally this is only done because someone in the Bn has asked for the route to be approved so they can use it for patrols etc.  I assume that was true in this case, but am not positive. To the best of my memory, the Wolf contained Sgt Terry H and Cpl...
