practice before?

[45506445210414924]

hahahah ohhh yes! haha c.o. ripping on me for sleeping during cpr  :blotto: last thing id need!!!!

good call on that too, the whole point of basic training is to  "provide the basic core skills and knowledge"

hmm yes ....im just anxious i think

 

[Rebel_RN]

It's OK to be anxious and excited. I was told by a good friend who went through basic a few years ago to remember how excited you were before going it will help to keep your morale and spirits up when things get tough. When your going through basic remember why you wanted to go in the first place and you should make it through fine.

Is it in the BMQ that we learn how to shoot with the C7 or its in the SQ ( for res )

thnx

 

[45506445210414924]

i think its bmq for reserves too, not to sure on the recruiting website it says "You will learn how to maintain and fire the C7 rifle. To successfully complete Basic Training, you must pass a personal weapons test."

 

[BDG.CalgHighrs]

Quitting smoking is a great Idea... It's not easy though, and during the stress of the course, you are going to be craving it badly.

As far as shooting and weapons handling goes, you will be taught well on course and there is no need to know anything before you start. Some instructors are going to be better than others, but you should have no problem picking it up.

That having been said, shooting is good times. If you feel like you want to have a crack at it before you go, have at er. Just be prepared to re-learn everything. There is always the danger of picking up bad habits too.

a) excellent point out on the quit smoking, its only been 3 days now , im craving huge and wanting some, but i notice if i pop a piece of gum man its not as bad,

Yeah, I haven't used the C6, C7, or C9... hell, I'm not even in the forces yet... But I have a lot of experience in firearms. My father is an ex- canadian ranger, and he used the c7 and c9 on a training excercise once. He said there's no kick to them at all, but when in full auto, the c7 has a tendacy to rise up a bit... If you want kick back, try a pump action 10 gauge shotgun, 3 1/2 inch magnum's... that's a bit of kick for ya

I quit smoking a few years ago, wasnt too bad, picked up a different almost equally-bad habit to replace it though. Coke.... of the cola variety Over the summer ill be commercial fishing with my dad though, can hopefully kick the habit during that - applying for CF inf after the summer

 

[Hopkins]

Here's an honest question...I've yet to go to BMQ..>Which starts this summer...But:

Is the recoil on the C7 and C9 different in real life than it is on the SAT (Small arms Trainer) ?

 

[TheCheez]

Yes

The SAT is similar to a C7 with blanks IMO

 

[45506445210414924]

Hey guys I'm not sure if the moderators will think this is OK , but I'm eventually looking to pursue a career in firearms, and id really like to know the INTERNALS of the c-7, c-9 or anything really for that fact. Does anyone reccomend any decent sites that explain the insides and how they operate (no sarcastic answers such as you pull the trigger lol) id greatly appreciate this information.

Thank You

 

[Fry]

that's good advice

 

[45506445210414924]

woo its like you guys all read my mind ha ha, unfortunately though after my cfat i wasn't qualified for weapons tech.

as for waiting to learn @ bmq, how far in depth do they cover it?? i know i know i ask alot of questions, but this site has leaded me to so much information and its awsome, if only i could repay everyone back with a nice cold beer :warstory:

 

[Fry]

send a bluestar this way, best beer known to man... stella artois isn't bad either, but Newfoundland's own Bluestar just kicks a$$

 

[45506445210414924]

mmm yes stella atrois, better then that labbat shok!!! tangy apple juice anybody??

all jokes aside, have to go for a run , preparing for fit test, thanks to all whos been helping me with this information

LABBAT SHOK FOR ALL

 

[45506445210414924]

one word.....simplicity.....

thanks man, i keep stressing out to far ...eeesshh

 

[Fry]

shok tastes like garb... so does molson coldshots.

 

[quebecownage]

yeah well they arent REAL beer from my P.O.V. .
And since i'm not 18 yet well i've got to stick with red bull wich is kinda costy for a energy ration.

 

[45506445210414924]

ah redbull!!!! 3.50 a can, tim hortons xl coffee 1.55 hmmmm  :

anyways back on topic here ahahah, i guess to pretty much sum this thread up the best advice is to stop worrying so much and just wait for bmq and allow them to properly teach me how to use equipment, preform cpr and what not....right on

thanks again, and hey if anyone wants to add anything on here ...giidddyy up!
