i was coming home from work and split a duck in half...each body part rolled off on either side of the road LOL

 

[The Gues-|-]

Hey! have any of you heard how many weeks our BMQ will be? On paper it says 11 and I'm hearing 13 also.  Everyone I have asked was not 100% certain, including CFRC.

 

[brandon_g]

Well if BMQ is 11 weeks to the day, the last day, which is probably graduation ceremony and all, would be on my 19th birthday!! That would be the best birthday ever.  If not, and its longer, thats fine too.
I'm thinking it is 11 weeks, just because thats what it said on my preparation sheet that I recieved in the mail.

 

[Guy. E]

If you start April 3, then your done June 16. Thats 11 weeks.

 

[DiamondDarryl]

Ahh, this waiting is taking forever. My swearing in is March 22 and it has seemed like I have waited a month already since my call. After my swearing in, I dont want to even think about how long the wait will be until I leave on April 1.---->April fools day! haha. I wonder if all the recruits who arrive on April Fools get pranked?....

Well it looks like i'll be seeing you guys there.. sort of. I was told my basic was april 10th in Borden. But my swearing in is March 22. What have you guys been doing to prepare for basic?

 

[brandon_g]

I've been training since November for this experience.  But I took the two weeks off my job before April 1, so the 18 is my last day of work, and I'm training everyday, except sundays, before I leave. I'm going to run 5-10 km per day, depending on how I feel, and doing upper body strength exercises, for my training.
