BMQ Regular Force 2005 - 2017 [Merged]

[17thRecceSgt]

Not sure if they still do all this stuff we did, but the platoons used to get platoon sweats, with our platoon #, Course # and we had to pick a course "motto".

12 Platoon, 8930, "Challenge To Excel" was our motto...to excel as individuals, as squads (sections now?) and as a platoon.  Running stairs sounds like it could be hard.  Running around in A-stan with full kit, wpns, ammo, water, PPE, etc in 50 degree temps with a enemy actively engaging you sounds LOTS harder. 

Its all there to prep you mentally and physically, and to sort out those who don't pack the gear for military service.  Meet the challenge!

...and have a good time, learn, learn to laugh, learn to stick together.  Work hard, play hard...the rest all "should" fall into place.

The CF is a great family, welcome to it!

Oh, for any of the Armoured types, don't forget to remind everyone else that they are not wearing a black beret, so they are actually second-rate next to you   ;D

(meant in fun, but ya, it is fun to poke at each other, if its kept respectful and in fun).

Here, Here! Everyone wants that black baret.  Wear it with honour and pride.  .  Everyone is a brother and a sister because this is a family away from your own.  You support every soldier as he/she would support you.  You tell eachother your secrets as much as you dig that trench together.  Some people you get to know better than your personal family.  If you are lazy you will be picked up right away, even if you are below the radar. If you don't shape up, VR.  Just go in and do the best you can and get over the psychology of the game and you will have alot of fun.

[Ansibomb]

Is this a Reg Force course or a Reserve.. they've changed the platoon numbering system since I was there 3.5 years ago so its kinda hard to tell.
