I will have you know its not that the instructors dont know what we are doing, its the fact that for years it has been strictly Naval Reserve Training Division at the moment it is going through a transitional phase with CFLRS det Borden getting its digs in too, we are going thru some growing...

As with a lot of training bases most reserve training takes place during the summer because thats when people are out of school etc.  Have no fear, you may be placed on a BMQ course with reservists, but chances are you probably wont be the only REG force type there.  It has been my experience...

Swim test means absolutly "JACK SQUAT", as for BMQ in Borden you are tested in week one, retested week four or five , if you flunk it does not matter, a waste of valuable training time if you ask me, which could be used a lot more effectivly.  I dont know about ST Jean but in Borden, If memory...

The only way you will be saluting anyone on grad parade is if you receive an award, and there is only three to four per platoon, and you graduate with the entire company.  The parade is maybe an hour long, and the 11th week in BMQ is all clearing out and parade practice..............lots of...

Well Done!!!

I do believe I've stumped the public with "DAGGA, DAGGA, DAGGA"  ^-^

Your thinking Team America, sorry but incorrect, this movie quote is from a movie a lot older than that.

"DAGGA, DAGGA, DAGGA"

Me first and the gimme gimmes any one of their covers is always good. Any old Ska is good too:English beat,                                   The Selector,                                   Specials, etc. Rancid is always good in a pinch.

Jane doe, there's french in Borden too, I know there has been francaphone courses run there as well.  BMQ is BMQ, the onlt real difference is St Jean has been doing Reg force BMQ's a lot longer than Borden and they have a little better set up and better support, but all BMQ curriculum is the...

Cell phones are VERBOTEN at least for the first 4 weeks in BMQ in Borden, after that they are usually returned to you, to be used only after work hours, depending on your staff.  Usually if caught using during the day you will loose your privledges.  As for pictures most staff don't like having...

Ask and ye shall recieve, what and who do you need to find. Lots of guys are gone, but ther are still some old die hards kicking around.  Mortars always had a great canteen not as good as AAP's though. I was in 7 PL as well.

If you are going Reg force I dont suggest that you call thu unit because they will tell you to go through the CFRC, because with all honesty, units dont know what their getting, not to mention you still have to pass BMQ, SQ, BIQ if you go 031 and anything can happen between those courses, you...

Not so much a movie, but any Monty Python skit poking fun at the brit army is always good for a smile.

Typically the 3rd is "light", but I will have you know that while in Afghanistan, the 2nd  humped the same kit, did the same type patrols, walked over the same ridges and mountains as the 3rd did, so everything you here is not necassary true, or may be slightly tainted. I'll have you know that...

Ah Cornwallis, loved it, entire Platoons in one room, living in an H hut, daily reamings......ah the memories of being called over the loudspeaker in the shacks...."Tim Horton to the office..NOW", running like hell to get to the Instructors office, which, I might add, was in the same building...

In regards to weight I and others are in the train of thought that more is better, it has nothing to do with being hard but if you condition yourself to carrying extra weight ie:all your kit and possibly sandbags or free weight plates, when  it comes crunch time and you have to carry extra...

I think there is too much Pissin and moaning on what should be CADPAT or not and you should be happy with the fact that you are getting issued new kit albeit slowly but new kit none the less.  As for CADPAT underwear we do have CADPAT fleece so you never know the next step, although I do...

No more BMQ's in Borden until about April, we are a full house right now

If your worried about not being able to run, in basic training, don't worry I've seen people that can barely walk to the bathroom pass the PT test and still graduate, if you are remotely able to move under your own strength, chances are you will pass Basic training.  Right know the only standard...
