Thanks again, that is great help.  Now only if I spoke french..... :D

Thanks, it sounds like a nice place to me! Is the base right in the city or outside? Is it close to restaurants, coffee shops, etc?

Sorry I should've specified; I meant CFFS in Quebec City.

Hi, was just wondering who here is going to this course or who has been to CFFS before? I've never been there before. Edited to add "(Quebec)" to subject line. Roy

I have been issued 3 uniforms, but since I'm navy, I am not authorized to wear my uniform outside of my unit yet.  (until BMQ)  This is because we don't have our capbadges yet on our berets.  I think I will wear buisiness casual on the day I arrive, just to be safe. oooh valour, tres cute  ;D

I just received my joining instructions this week.  It says nothing about what to wear upon arrival to Borden.  My husband taught basic last year here in Winnipeg, and nobody wore anything fancy when they arrived.  He said that t-shirt and jeans or whatever was fine for them the first day.

You're leaving on Canada Day? hmmm I'm leaving on saturday.  Well see you there!

I finally called my unit on Friday to inquire about my paperwork.  I can pick up my joining instructions anytime, so I will pick that up on Monday.  The rest of my paperwork (flight info, etc.) will be ready for me to pick up on Wednesday.  I fly out June 30th, course starts July 2nd in Borden. ...

I'm starting July 2nd and I haven't received my joining instructions yet either.  I was told that I'll get my joining instructions, list of stuff to bring, and flight info soon....

I fly out on June 30th, it's now been confirmed.  I still don't know about my QL3 course right after BMQ, but if I don't know before I leave, I'll find out when I'm out in Borden.  Only 6 more days of my civvy job, then I'm done! Is anyone else starting to get nervous? I know I am, and excited...

My hubby always shaves his head.  He actually uses my ladies venus razors, and they work really well.  Course I do the spot check for him to see if he's missed anything.  His head is very smooth and he rarely cuts himself anymore.  F.Y.I., DO NOT use Nair on your head!!!! Hubby tried it on his...

Hi Kujo, if you're in Winnipeg and going armoured Recce, you'll actually be in my hubby's regiment.  Although he's pre-training right now to go to Afghanistan.  I believe you're right, you should either be going to Winnipeg or to Wainwright for BMQ.  I'm navy res, so I'm out east to Borden.  You...

Hi Canoe2boot, maybe I'll see you in Borden.

Oops you're right, Richard said he was coming from Winnipeg, not going there.  My bad.  :) I may be going to St. Jean for my QL3, either that or Borden.  I'm hoping to do that right after BMQ.

Hey Richard, I'm from Winnipeg but I'm doing my BMQ July 2nd in Borden.  I probably know some of your instructors...hehe If my hubby wasn't PRETC for Afghanistan this year, he'd probably be one of your instructors as well.  (lucky for you...j/k) I'm navy so I'm not doing my BMQ in Winnipeg or...

I'm starting to get anxious to go already.  I'm off this week on holidays from my civvy job, then I only have 10 working days left there when I get back.  Hubby is in Shilo all week so I don't see him until the weekends either.  I go for the odd run in the park, but then I'm still bored after. ...

from formerarmybrat23: [haha, yeah I got my first taste of getting jacked up the other day.  I just got my kit yesterday and so when I showed up for Thursday night parade and didn't have my beret on (I coudln't for the life of me get the thing formed right) one of our Warrants gave it to me. ...

haha nice, you got jacked up over pants that's great...... :)

Who said anything about flying my car? That'd be silly.  No I want to drive my car, in order to have it for my QL3 course.  I don't care if I can't use it on BMQ at all.  It's just that 5 months without a vehicle is kinda crappy.  But either way, all I can do is ask, if they say no I'll live...

I'm flying out from Winnipeg, to Borden.  Although I may be taking my QL3 course right after BMQ, so I'm asking if I can take my car if I get the second course as well.  So I may be there for 5 months instead of 2, but back home just before my b-day. There's 4 of us coming from my unit in...
