Wainwright Summer BMQ

[canadianblue]

I'm applying to the reserves, and am just wondering if anybody know the timeline of the summer BMQ and driving course being held in Wainwright?

Thanks for the help.

I'm still waiting for the CFRC to contact me. It's been two weeks and a half since I submitted my application.

I am waiting as well.. 18 Medical Sgt.  actually is trying to contact me, so I guess that means I am going to be sworn in soon? Hopefully.. I looked at the course list, and it looks like BMQ is not until July 11th.. I wish it was earlier..lol.. Well, i hope they contact you soon!

*cheers*

BMQs in Wainright are running in July for Reserves, as far as I can remember. The aim is to allow those pers to go on the Reserve SQ serials being given in August. Cheers.

I was sworn in this past wednesday, and picked up my kit yesterday.. They didnt issue any webbing to me, because I am training to be a Medic, but in the kit list for BMQ I am supposed to have webbing.. or am i?

I'm off to Wainwright as well.  For the reserves, we were told that the dates were 4-29 July for BMQ and 1-26 August for SQ.  As for the webbing, I'd ask someone at your unit.  It's a must-have in my unit (12 Field Amb); I wouldn't be able to comprehend not having my webbing.

edit:  I'm interchanging Tac-Vest with Webbing.  I don't know if they would also give you webbing if you received a TV.

Thanks for your help! And I will for sure see you in July!

Until then..*cheers*

FYI - My understanding is that there will be at least one BMQ / SQ serial being run in Winnipeg this summer, if not two serials. If your looking for a course, talk to your chain of command. They can get you the course locations and dates. Cheers.

Just curious - where would it be held?

Actaully, if I could I'd like to get a manual or some reading material to help get me prepared for BMQ. Do any of you know if they'll provide anything prior to BMQ in order to be prepared for the experience?

You're currently on the most comprehensive reading material there is.

At the old Kapyong Barracks site (2 VP) at Kenaston & Grant. The buildings are still up, so they would be a good facility (better than Minto IMHO). Roll in some beds / cots and a field kitchen and you are good to go. I've also heard rumours that the BMQs scheduled for Wainright might be moved there, thus all BMQs in LFWA in one place, but wait out on that (PBI - Any insight on this??).

This wouldn't be Symchyshyn FGH type from BMQ 0250 would it?!?

4-29 July for BMQ and 1-26 August for SQ.  

Your dates are correct.

 

[Warvstar]
