Some Basic Questions...

[BF Hawkeye Pierce]

Well these may sound stupid to some of you, but I really would like to know the answers so bare with me...

1) How hard is the test you got to take (the written one)

2) What exactly is the "squeeze test".

3) Do I need to know alot of french when I go to Quebec for my BMQ?

4) What do they do when you go for your medical exam, like what do the check?

5) Right after you do your BMQ do you go straight to your SQ? Or must you wait a certain amount of time.

6) I read somewhere on the net can‘t remember, but it said something about they only do BMQ at the end of september and the beginning of decemeber. is this true?

If there are other post with these questions and their are answers provided please provide me with a link.

Also if anyone has some good training exercise‘s for me to use or has done there BMQ already can you please provide me of a daily routine... like wake up do 10 push-ups run 10km ect..

Thank you whomever replys in advanced.

use the search function.....

1.) the CFAT isnt that hard, it tests you in math, english and spatial ability

2.) the grip test, you squeeze a device, and it measures your fore-arm? strength

3.) No, you don‘t have to know french, the instructers will speak english

4.) You take a drug test(pee into a cup), test your hearing, vison, etc, etc

5.) After your Basic, you will be sent to your next base to do your next stages of training, you may have to wait for an open slot on the next SQ course being run there though, so your be in PAT Plt, untill then

6.) The Reg Force basic at St Jean is run all year.

6.)

I was kind enough to answer your first series of questions, but remember what I said at the beguinning of it "search"

So, learn to use the search funcition, it is very helpfull.

Patterns

ex.

1,5,7,9,12,14....

Word problems

ex.

If Peter is running uphill at 5km/h and the hill is 20 kilometers long how many minutes does it take him to get the the top if he takes five 23minute breaks on the way up?

Things like that.
By the way there is no pattern to the pattern above, I just made it up; but you get the idea.

I didn‘t want to start anther thread for one question.

In basic, you do have to wake up everyday at 0530? Or are there days in the 12 week period where you have time to sleep-in until 0900 or so?

They let you sleep in untill 0530? Basic is getting soft.
