    "stop making a mountain out of a molehill"  :facepalm: I assume you mean there is no way of them knowing that but anyway this topic can be locked again, I have heard enough advice.

    Wearing my Reserves beret for Reg BMQ

    I intend too but I have a feeling it wont end to well for the fact that my liner is removed. I am just going to bring it, put it in the proper inspection location and wear the one they give me and pray questions do not come up about my old beret.

    Wearing my Reserves beret for Reg BMQ

    Thank you George. I received some documents telling me the items I should bring to CFLRS and such. One part says if you have prior service then you must bring these items with you. Now the first item on the list is "beret", so they are telling me I NEED to bring this item if I already have one...

    Yelling at BMQ

    My instructors didn't really yell all that much. The PT instructor however who was not even in the Military but a civi working with DND(I assume) was the hardest on all of us. He would single us out individually and just yell to the point where we all got use to it and was just thinking "what...

    I will be seeing you all on the 27th(BMQ starts 29th). I am going Infantry. EDIT: Think I am going to start a Facebook group so we can all get a better sense of who each other is. Just DM me your guys Facebook URLs so I can invite you.

    Wearing my Reserves beret for Reg BMQ

    Great advise. I will never set myself above any other recruit because I am in the same position with them. If I was high status then I would not be going through BMQ with them. If I am use to doing things a certain way from my past experience but the Instructor has his own way then I will do it...

    Wearing my Reserves beret for Reg BMQ

    This is actually my second go at BMQ. The first time back in 2013 I actually simply quit. What you said above is exactly what I did. They were all watching me form mine and started complementing me so I told them to shave there beret. That night I got them wear them in the shower and when they...

    Wearing my Reserves beret for Reg BMQ

    Yes, same element. Well scratch that idea, I have the liner cut out. I didn't think I had it cut out but I do.  :facepalm:

    Wearing my Reserves beret for Reg BMQ

    Since it is 'issued' kit does anyone think it would be a problem? The only difference would be that it is already broken in. I would ask my recruiter but I feel he would not be able to give me an answer but maybe someone on here who has been an instructor at CFLRS could. If it would end up being...

    Week 4 is when I dropped out. The best tips I could give from my very little experience would be: 1. After morning PT when you hit the showers do not use body wash or shampoo, that takes longer to rinse off. Just do the best you can with water. Have a 15 second shower then get out, you need to...

    Back in 2013 I quit, not gonna sugar coat it, I simply quit. Looking back I could see that I was not mature enough to be a part of the Military.

    My recruiter contacted me this Thursday past and said I have a 85% chance of receiving a job offer for the Feb 15th BMQ so "expect things to come quickly". I am 22 and also Infantry. Fingers crossed!

    BMQ Regular Force 2005 - 2017 [Merged]

    Nice to see a lot of you all on the forum but just keep in mind that just because you all start on the same day, you might not be in the same platoon. In 2013 when I started BMQ I met a lot of people on here who started the same day as me but when I got over there I only seen 50% of them and...
