    weekend BMQ 25 NOV

    Wow it's just the fourth weekend? I guess you had a holiday break then that's why. Or perhaps I just haven't seen you in a while haha. Swim test? I never did one... hmm I wonder if it's a new requirement. Well, good luck on your exams. But don't miss a weekend unless you can get it approved...

    Running: Training, Problems, Techniques, Questions, etc

    Hi! First of all, thanks for this amazing thread. But secondly, I have a question, and since there were 27 pages to go through, and the search function yielded no result, I'm just going to ask it. I have a problem when it comes to running. Whenever I run with my unit, the pace is usually...

    Really really really old training video.

    Yeah most of it was from SQ. As for the other comments, the gravel place where we were conducting the pyro tests was actually a gravel open lot, there just happen to be vehicles that pulled out of it ;).

    Help! Directions to CFB Borden...

    OK, so I have the unfortunate occasion to write a mandatory university exam during one of my Basic weekends, so right after the exam I plan on traveling to CFB Borden to continue my training. The problem is, I don't know how to get there! I've checked some maps online and off, but I want to...

    Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) [MERGED]

    The thing is though they give a time limit on those math problems on the CFAT... in fact the whole CFAT is timed. Just do the math quickly I guess?

    Recruiting Posters, Slogans and Commercials [Merged]

    I just came back from a movie at the theater and I saw the CF ad. One thing though, was that the old olive uniforms the inf were wearing in the ad? I also hear a lot more CF radio commercials, like the one where the female goes "So do you want an adventure?" or something along the lines of that.

    Wearing Uniform in Public (merged)

    Got a question about dress. I'm currently doing weekend BMQ and I want to train up before my 13km ruck march. I plan on filling up my rucksack and taking it on a march in my own time around my neighbourhood at night. Am I allowed to wearing my boots (and carry my rucksack) in my civvies? Or is...

    Physical stuff on the first day of BMQ

    Don't worry about running, they do it in platoon size. As long as you stay in formation and don't fall behind. If you fall behind and end up past the very last rank, it means you need more cardio. As for pushups what not, just do your best. They are not going to make you do 50 on the first day...

    Question about the Queen's York Rangers

    Ha just like I was when I tried to join. Heck I took the trip and actually went to the armoury and got a nice neat package with all the forms in it. I suggest you do that too if you have the time. After you fill in the forms, call or email Sgt. Nyberg first to tell him know you are going to...
