Hello Jay and Welcome Aboard,
I am a serving member and have been a section commander on several basic
training courses and the best advice I can give you is a don‘t try to
be funny....your section commander has heard it all and nobody likes a
smart-*** . b be a team player, your peers need your help and you need
theirs, without each other you can‘t make it. c Relax..it‘s not like
the movies...the staff believe it or not is there to teach and guide
you and they are the best! They will teach you everything you need to
know and exactly how to do it. As for the people, your course staff
will be tough and in your eyes...unforgiving but I can‘t give away all
our secrets! Your course mates will become lifelong friends, by the end
of the course you will know them better than your brother. Good Luck!
and have fun.

Greetings all,
I am leaving for basic training during the summer and I was wondering
if any people currently serving or that have served could tell me what I
can expect? I‘m rather curious about the whole affair and what the
atmosphere and people will be like.
Any information that you could share would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot for the info. I‘m rather anxious about going...both nervous
and excited. From what I understand this is to be the time of my life
and I‘m looking forward to it. I‘ve applied as an infanteer so I hear
that the infantry school is like Basic Training Part Two: Back with a
Vengeance. Well I‘ll have to wait and see.

Jay, I‘m considering basic training and would like to know why you decided
to embark on this unique career path. The only thing holding me back is
that I have a baby due in 3 1/2 months. I don‘t want to miss the early
stages of my child‘s life. Thanks for your time.

Hey all...
I‘m currently the Course Officer for a QL2 being run in
Edmonton for 41 Bde Alberta‘s Reserves. All of the
previous advice applies. Don‘t forget to get fit, or
maintain fitness if you are fit. As I‘ve said before,
it is more important that we see improvement during a
course PT, Drill, or Mil Knowledge than anything else.
Be respectful, learn what you‘re taught and apply yourself.
That‘s all it takes to be a good soldier.

Well, I‘ve always enjoyed physical challenge and I‘d be hard-pressed to
think of another career where one of the primary focuses is to stay in shape
and engage in physical activity. I‘ve always enjoyed being outdoors and
exerting myself and I figure the infantry would be a wonderful opportunity
to further develop my body and personality. I‘m not sure if I want to make a
career of it but I definately think it will be one of the best times of my
life. If anything I‘ll always have the experience of it all. I guess you
could consider it a learning experience.
Good luck with your future child. My girlfriend and I were considering
having a baby for sometime but we decided it would not be fair to the child
or her if she were to get pregnant and I took off for X number of years. We
plan on getting married sometime after I complete basic training.
Good luck!

There is really nothing to basic training unfortunately. Politics has made
basic a joke. You can‘t get punted of a course for physical fitness anymore.
You can request the instructor to do the push-ups with you. I was expecting
a lot worse. I wouldn‘t worry about basic. Its a pretty easy course to pass.
So long as you keep your nose clean and give it your best shot you have
nothing to worry about.

Dear Trooper,
Obviously you are mis-informed...I doubt if you would have voiced an
opinion like that when you were on course. 1. you CAN get released from a
QL2 for poor physical fitness. If you cannot maintain the platoon pace
during physical fitness classes, your section commander has the option to
begin the warning process on your *** . 2. You cannot request your
instructor to do push-ups with you....another thing i doubt you
did...however your fitness instructor is REQUIRED to "lead by example" and
do the physical training with you. Maybe you would prefer that we revert
back to the "old school" where the instructors tortured you just because
they could. And, if they didn‘t particularly like the looks of
you.....they‘d take you out behind the gun shed.
I personally as a basic training instructor believe that we have come a
long way. We for the most part turn out professional, and capable
soldiers.....the best in the world. You have been blessed by having world
class instructors teach you how to be a soldier. Thank your lucky stars you
weren‘t a student at Cornwallis 15 or 20 years ago.
All I hope is that I will remind you of the all the valuable things they did
teach you., and remind you that Canadian Soldiers are respected worldwide
for their ongoing contribution to the world community.......in spite of
their "poor physical fitness".

Amen to that. I have known people to get punted from basic for being "below
standard" when it comes to physical fitness. Then sent off to a "holding
platoon" or "S.T. Suspended Training platoon" until they raised their
level of personal fitness. Lord knows I hated being in the push-up position
for what seemed like hours at a time in Cornwallis, but I think it made me a
better person, as weird as it sounds. Mentally as well as physically. I have
always been in shape, but Cornwallis made me better. Then there was Battle
School, but I won‘t get into that now.
I think closing Cornwallis was a HUGE mistake on the gov‘t‘s part. Politics
suck! Even in ‘89,, human rights were taking there toll on basic trg. But
regardless, it was still a tough 3 months. Glad I was there after it was
shorted from 16? weeks. Geeze, that seems like a lifetime ago. But as for
being recognized world wide, I would agree that where ever I have gone,
wearing the Canadian uniform, I was welcomed more than I was shunned.
Greece, Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Bosnia, Saudi Arabia, Germany, **** , even
the United States. Makes me proud to wear the Leaf!
