Issued cleaner solution and cloth.

Blackadder, Thansk for the info, i'll report it to my family doctor the next time I see him. I did report it to my section commander, but he didn't give me any advice about it.

Thanks for the advice medicineman, i'll try that.

That is a possibility but I usually use CLP on my bolt and do a some pull throughs before I shoot anyways and it has never irritated me.

Hey DAA, Thanks for the reply. However I wasn't wearing a gas mask for the shoot last weekend. Just BEWs, and FFO. I'm shooting again in a couple weeks and i'll post an update.

Thanks for the reply. I can't recall which direction the wind was blowing. Although I don't think that is the problem because I've once had a gas mask full of gas after shooting (ironic I know) and was fine.

I am an infantry soldier so this problem has me really worried. Recently, on a weekend ex, we had a shoot. I had 5 full mags of .556 and a C7. I was also wearing FFO and my BEWs. To my surprise when I started shooting, my eyes started burning and watering and I had to fight to keep them open...

Hey Haraske, I started BMQ when I was 16 in 2013 and finished my DP1 Infantry this summer. I was on a weekend BMQ while still doing high school and it was not a problem. Just be sure to plan all your civi errands into the weekends that your home and do all your homework the day that it's given...

Polished clean boots, PT Kit (just in case), writing/ note taking material. Make sure your uniform is inspection ready. You'll probably receive a list of what you should bring every parade anyways but that is what I have to bring.

Yes you can, I was 16 when I started BMQ which was recently. I just turned 17!

Oh I see..yes I'm QOR.

I think you should apply ASAP. If they give you an offer you can delay your BMQ date if it comes early, my cousin was scheduled to start in summer but got it delayed to October. If your file doesn't get processed in time though then there's nothing you can do. My experience is with the reserves...

Haha oh yea we saw you guys...in the middle of the night getting snacks from the vending machines  >:D

See you all tonight!

Thanks for the clarification Skeletor.

My bad..must've been someone else then. I still have a lot to learn haha

You still can. I'm pretty sure the 48th can take part in the basic para courses as well. It's not JUST for the QOR. I saw 48th guys wearing maroon berets too ;)

Hey who knows, you might like 48th. Give it a chance. They are a great unit as well!

QOR here, we're diagonal from you guys on the parade square  :)

Awesome! What are your names?
