Even though I still havn't redone my AJLC, I did pass the CAF PLQ semi-recently. The combined one isn't hard as long as the staff don't go out of their way to fail people which I doubt you'll see in Halifax simply because the Navy/Air seem more focused on running the course as a leadership qualification verse CAC-PLQ. (Hmmm yessss put me in that stress position, sorry off topic).
Biggest non-medical RTU/Injury issues I saw:
1. Giving briefs/orders. Very basic public speaking skills, work on those. Be able to write concisely and to sum things down, you'll get tons of stuff throw at you during orders, your job is to summerize and explain it down to your troops/sailors/airfolk. Battle procedure is the entire field ex, just cycles of you getting orders, creating orders, giving orders, executing orders. And remember, make a decision, the staff arn't looking for the best decision, but that you make one.
2. The auto fails on mod 2, I think we had 8-9 people on final or PRB from all the auto fails. You have to teach 3 classes which have tons of auto-fails in the scoring:
a) General Knowledge class like trenches or defensive works.
b) A weapons class on a section of the C7. Example teaching how to field strip and clean. Tons of autofails for safety here, like if you don't have the students clear their weapons or if you mess up the EDI process. You'll learn EDI.
c) Drill. You'll get a drill movement and have to teach your squad it. Autofails for the process, of if you call the command wrong. This one failed a lot of people because you had to memorize the entire class and process, while the other things you taught you could have an written aid.
If you do poorly and whatever, DON'T STRESS, the PRB/Warnings reset at the end of the mod. Learn from your mistake and move on.
You get soft and hard assessments and lots of practice, but some people in front of a crowd all alone and having to call drill or missing one step of EDI and its a fail. It sucks and I've never seen in 10 years a class taught the way they teach, but you play the game.
You have to also be an A-RSO and run a fitness class as well, very few people failed this. Just follow the steps and go through it with a buddy before you do it, its easy to tell who prepped and who didn't.
Mod 3 is battle procedure and field ex. Again, make a decision, look after your troops, write down and brief your orders in the correct sequence. We made fill in the blank sheets to help out people who were having problems, it literally was to the point I had "I say again, 3 section will x by y with x IOT accomplish w" so you would remember to say the mission twice. The field ex is just scenarios that you could face on any stab op, like a checkpoint. Try to get done first before you get sleep ****ed, its definitely not equal at all since people who go first are clear and awake and so your job is much much easier, the guys who go near the end are completely wrecked and are at a huge disadvantage. If you are strong on this take one for your team and let someone weaker go first and you take a test near the end.
Anything else just ask.
