Basic Military Qualification

The first stage of training for everyone is the 10-week Basic Military Qualification (BMQ) course at the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec. This training provides the basic core skills and knowledge common to all trades. It is also physically demanding. A primary goal of this course is to ensure that all recruits attain the CF physical fitness standard. BMQ covers the following topics:

  policies and regulations of the Canadian Forces;

  CF drill, dress and deportment (the â Å“three Dsâ ?);

  basic safety;

  first aid;

  personal survival in nuclear, biological and chemical conditions;

  handling and firing personal weapons;

  cross-country navigation; and

  personal survival in field conditions.

Soldier Qualification

On successful completion of BMQ, Infantry Soldiers go to a Military Training Centre for the 10-week Soldier Qualification (SQ) course, which covers the following topics:

  Army physical fitness;

  dismounted offensive and defensive operations;

  reconnaissance patrolling;

  advanced weapons-handling (working with grenades, machine-guns and anti-tank weapons); and

  individual field-craft.

Basic Military Occupational Training

Basic Military Occupational (MOC) Training for Infantry Soldiers is conducted by their regiment. It takes about 10 weeks, and takes place at one of the following Military Training Centres:

  The Royal Canadian Regiment: Meaford, Ontario;

  Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry: Wainwright, Alberta; and

  The Royal 22e Régiment: Valcartier, Quebec. Basic MOC training covers the following material:

  Use and care of personal and section-level weapons, including rifles, machine guns and anti-tank weapons;

  Field-craft, including personal hygiene and meal preparation, camouflage, sentry duties, signalling, selecting firing positions, tactical movements and lines of advance;

  Construction of field defences, such as trenches and roadblocks, and laying and marking of minefields;

  Navigation by day and by night;

  Patrolling operations; and

  Infantry section and platoon tactics, including offensive, defensive and transitional operations.

I read that as well but when they say " Military Training Centre" where is that at? What base.

Re-read the previous post for your answer, as it depends on which regiment you are joining (RCR - Meaford Ontario, PPCLI - Wainright Alberta, R22R - Valcartier Quebec).
