April 28th BMQ

[Jayrickson]

Any other readers going to be there?

Accepted for AVS Tech.

I was kind of hoping to become at least a little familiar with someone before heading out.
Here's an incentive: I can put a mirror shine on your boots in 15 minutes.

Although I'm not going on the 28th, if I was, what would be the odds of actually meeting? I've never really understood these threads. It's a good way to meet new friends but how would we all meet? Would we be in the same platoon or... I don't know?

Just wondering, I just wanted to know the method of it.

The purpose of it is just to chat with fellow BMQ-mates, not necessarily meet.

If you're on the same course, obviously you'll meet there.. Maybe at the airport or train station if you're in the same area.
Or you could just PM people and ask to meet up... I guess?

There could be people coming to this course from BC, Yukon, etc. so the chances of meeting them in person prior to training is obviously minimal.

How do you meet people in school who are not in your class or Grade?  In the cafeteria?

You can likely do the same at BMQ in the cafeteria.....or after hours......on weekends......

AVS, it's in both my sig and the original note.
Thank you for your kind words.

Congrats to all who made the April 28th BMQ. I'll hopefully see you all there. Is it true that the forces will kick you out if you fail the PT test? I thought they put you into a special platoon. Did they get rid of warrior platoon?

On a side note hopefully me and the OP will be in the same class. I've never been great at shining shoes. In fact my Air cadet sergeant always yelled at me that my shoes weren't shiny enough. LOL

I hope I will be in this BMQ but I think is to fast ^^

If you do not meet the standard of one or more of the three items, you will join a specialized fitness training program that is also offered at the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School (CFLRS). The program integrates overall health coaching, diet and a rigorous personalized fitness program that lasts a minimum of 28 calendar days and a maximum of 90 calendar days. From the moment you achieve the standard after the 28-day period, you are reintegrated onto a BMQ/BMOQ course. If unsuccessful at the end of 90 calendar days, you will be released from the CAF

During your fitness training (as part of the 28-90 days) do they regularly give you the PT test to see if you can pass it or do you just ask to take the test again when you think you're ready?
