Stiman said:I read that too. The reason I bring it up is because I've read on this site somewhere that people who were over-dressed in those first couple days wished they had just worn jeans and a polo like other people. But I don't recall whether it was people talking about BMQ or BMOQ.
Also, I swear in tomorrow. I'm very excited for this!
Lysandria said:The joining instructions say casual dress pants and casual dress collared shirts so I'm bringing black pants and dress shirts. I'll probably pack a pair of jeans for when we get weekends off later on in the course.
skyhigh10 said:Hey, out of curiosity, which joining instructions are you reading? The link with the Candidate Information Booklet provided to me is dated July 2012. Consult page 6, it doesn't specify dress clothing but COMFORTABLE clothes.
Just want to make sure i'm reading the most recent+ accurate material.
Stiman said:Just looked it up. Annex B, Part 1 lists civilian clothes to bring. It says casual dress pants and shirts.
Exactly.Stiman said:I think the 'X' indicates an unspecified quantity. That's my guess.
Reaper-1 said:I'll clear some stuff up for you guys. When it says casual dress clothing, it's worded really badly. Wear casual clothes and that includes jeans. My best bet would be a polo and jeans with running shoes. I just graduated the April officer course and we all showed up in dress clothing and dress shoes only to change into running shoes and jeans the next day. Don't waste the space, bring one set of dress clothes if you want but make sure you have enough casual because that is what you'll be wearing until you get your combats.
Also, you're going to have some "fun" people who are going to be recoursed onto your platoon once you get to CFLRS. If they are the ones I'm thinking of, for your own good don't put much stock into what they tell you.
