Reserve BMQ and BMQ-L

[PuckChaser]

Do you learn to use the Carl Gustav and frag grenades?

Unless it's changed since then, both those weapon systems were taken out of the PRes BMQ-L.

Also on my trade page website for Medical Assistant it says Soldier Qualification instead of BMQ (L), what's the difference?

The site hasn't properly updated the course lists for all trades. SQ hasn't existed in a long time now, it was replaced with the BMQ-Land course which is shorter. BMQ-L covers some of the same topics as SQ did though.

"I can confirm that the SQ is now called BMQ Land"

JMei001 can search Reserve BMQ Land discussions.

Hello, hope I'm on the right topic board.

Does a weekend reserve BMQ course run throughout the summer?

Read alot about the fulltime summer BMQ, and the weekend course that runs throughout the rest of year. Just wanted to see if a weekend BMQ was possible during the summer months.

Thanks!

Generally, no.  But if there's sufficient personnel available only in weekends, it could be possible (assuming instructor availability).
