i just finished my bmq up in borden, your probably gonna have my instructors. if you have any questions feel free to ask

 

[govenor_mac]

My son is going to be in Alpha . Is that the one you were in and if so how did you find it. He is so pumped.

 

[SoF]

Yep me and Pendant were both in Alpha in the summer, different platoons though, my platoon had easier and cooler instructors however ;D Tips; watchout for skunks while doing firepicket duty at night, I had fire picket the night before grad parade and  had to be extra careful where I walked. Also learn to eat alot and fast. You wont get much energy from sleep so it'll have to come from what you eat. Eat sh_t and you'll feel like sh_t.

FYI, its St-Jean.  No "s.".  and technically, it is St-Jean-Sur-Richelieu.  Literal translation:  St John's on the Richelieu.
Enjoy BMQ, and thanks for volunteering to wear the uniform!

 

[KrissyJ]

guys i just graduauted bmq a while ago, it is gonna suck soo bad for you guys, your gonna be on pat and most of you guys wont make it. my platoon had 82 people go through it and we graduated 33.
dont worry about the phyiscal part so much, anyone can get through that part.  its the mind games that will get to you, take the course day by day. dont sweat the small stuff....or the big stuff for that matter.

From someone a little more seasoned, every platoon is different.  When i went through in 1993, we started 60 and graduated 52.  Some courses lose more than others.  People fail and some people VR for various reasons ( sometimes for reasons out of their control like family issues) so don't take the above comment as anything more than one person's experience.

Godd luck to all
