    Brass on PPCLI uniform

    I gotta wear the my uniform this week (like everyone else in the regiment) but I'm not too sure about the placing of the brass that goes on the uniform (the horns that say Patricia's on them; or which is right or left). Can somebody point me in the right direction? I was a reservist so I've...

    What not to do - No excuse BMQ tips [Merged]

    Yeah there nasty bata shoes. I used them for my inspection shoes when I went through, all the way until I graduated BIQ. Just remember to have doubles of inspection stuff and it'll be easy (like the folded socks and t shirts too!).

    month long ex in Shilo

    because I don't have any issued gloves, and I've been told I'm not getting issued any before we leave and thats something I know I'll need. I don't mean to go out and buy things like a mag drop bag or something pretty useless. I haven't ever been out in the field other than during training so I...

    attached postings??

    If your single with no dependants you can still get that attatched posting, I've got a friend who just got one back in January at a recruiting centre in London and he's single with no dependants, he didn't even have any contacts. Good luck!

    The Shaving Superthread- All You Want and More....

    I always get razor bumps in the same part on my neck, but when I use one of those vibrating razors the irritation isn't as bad and the redness isn't as noticable. I doubt you'd notice a difference though if you didn't have shaving problems.

    BMQ Jan 9th in Borden

    When the 13 week trial courses graduated everybody was wondering if they were gonna have all the new recruits do it and we were told by an officer high up in the chain in St. Jean (when he came and spoke to my platoon and my sister platoon). Also look at the dates of the Jan 9th one, it only...

    Oxfords

    Everybody in my platoon and I were all issued two pairs of ankle boots back in Sept. We were also told that the only time that you really wear the oxfords is when you dead, or taking part in a funeral.

    Tips on Cleaning the C-7

    Why's that? I've seen it done (i've never acually have done it) and it worked great. You still gotta acually clean it with CLP afterwards though or it would probably rust.

    What not to do - No excuse BMQ tips [Merged]

    That still happens, though that depends on your instuctors. Mine gave that plus a counciling to certain people (depending what it was). Usually you get a counsilling for forgeting something or having unsecure kit, but sometimes they go overboard. Seven counsilings and your recoursed or get...

    What not to do - No excuse BMQ tips [Merged]

    With some instructors it is impossible to get through with out a single counseling. In my platoon there were crazy counsellings given out for things like spelling a name wrong or having your boots not laced the exact way their sapposed to be and having a fourty degree angle on your bed instead...

    What not to do - No excuse BMQ tips [Merged]

    quick note, im on BMQ right now. Don't bring two pairs of shoes, you don't have the room. Also smokers aren't allowed to smoke until the end of the day in most platoons here. others you can at lunch or a short break, but not most.

    live from st. jean

    Yeah, my 2.4 km right now takes about 12 minutes (unfortinanly it used to be better) but I can keep running. I can do proper pushups until about 30 and then they progresivly get worse until about 50. I was just thinking BMQ was mainly mental stuff and the physical stuff got worse and worse...

    live from st. jean

    So basically if you can't run 5k in 20 minutes and do fifty pushups your screwed? I'm under the understanding the through BMQ, SQ (and for me BIQ) that the courses get progressively harder and harder physically. But then I'm gonna find out when my course starts monday (i leave tommorow morning).
