    Packing for Basic [MERGED]

    When you show up at CFLRS, jeans and a T-shirt+ runners are perfectly fine. You'll only wear them for a couple days and a few weekends anyway.

    Is PT done every morning at BMQ?

    Morning PT is only once or twice a week, and honestly, it's really nice. It gives you a great start to the day - just make sure the quarters are spotless after the showers/before breakfast.

    BMQ Regular Force 2005 - 2017 [Merged]

    Because it's awful to take taxis or buses everywhere (to me) on your weekends off instead of driving yourself.

    What do I wear when I arrive?

    Plenty of people wore shorts, and t-shirts with runners/sneakers. You'll only wear them for 3 days and 6 weekends anyway, don't bring alot. I survive with 1 pair of runners, 1 pair of jeans, 1 pair of shorts, and 2 golf tees (my preference, everyone else usually has tshirts) If you showed up...

    New Threshold "Fitness Testing" at BMQ/BMOQ

    The full FORCE test now I was referring to the focus of the PT at St Jean. It's a great deal of endurance. If your legs are weak or cardio is poor, the trend is you go to A/Injured platoon or Warrior platoon. Thanks for the MP, gents.

    New Threshold "Fitness Testing" at BMQ/BMOQ

    FORCE is in full swing now. If you fail it, you were most likely legally deceased at the time of testing. It's not hard, just be a good runner when you show up.

    Questions about BMQ @ St.Jean

    NEW AGE DIETING. (for those slightly out of shape)

    Call me crazy, but I think protein powders are a crock. I put on weight taking them. I don't want to give bad advice, but I will tell you what worked for me personally, under the advice of a professional trainer. Keto diet starting at 2k cal a day. Adjust based on how you feel day to day. I...

    1 - Official sources (following passage, plus recruiter) say otherwise, and we're getting a broken down version of FORCE. "During the first week of basic training, you will take a fitness test to assess your level of physical fitness.  You must pass the test to continue with basic training...

    New Threshold "Fitness Testing" at BMQ/BMOQ

    Just work out 2 hours or so, and walk for the rest of the day. Every day. The most important thing you can do is eat properly and just be outside doing physical things. Im 60 pounds overweight and ran a 5 minute kilometer, after my trainers leg routine, followed by 50m x 10 sprints. Throwing up...
