How was it?
I myself just got back yesterday from my BMQ/SQ courses in Lethbridge. I must say it was quite an experience. To fire the C7, C9 and C6 we went out to Kipp range about 20 minutes away and did our ex for BMQ there.
For our SQ ex we went up to Waneright, which was great as well.
Tyhe only problems I had with the course was limitations on weapons, such as we only had 8 C9‘s to practice on and fire, 10 C6‘s to practice on with no training rounds whatsoever even though we had to lug 4 of them around waneright and 4 Carl G‘s for a platoon of 47 recruits. It was mighty difficult to get time to practice on each weapon so you knew what you were doing for your PO checks, but we managed.
Another thing was the gas hut. It was supposed to be done on BMQ but we couldn‘t and pushed it back to SQ and then we couldn‘t get a SME to get us in the hut so we didn‘t do it at all.
In Lethbridge we got to stay in the LCC dorms, which was cool, but may have been a disadvantage from barracks as for standards and such.
Anyone going to Lethbridge to train in the future should have a good time.
