That rumour has been going around since I was there last November, it's not going to change anytime soon, that I can see. They're just messing with your head. It was "supposed" to go to 10 weeks, last December, then January, then February...see where this is going? Lots of talk, no changes.

Is that mean the BMOQ is going to be shortened too? The BMOQ is current at 15 or 16 weeks?

10 weeks, 13 weeks, 14 weeks........
who f'ing cares.
You have to get it done whatever it is, you dont get to pick which one you do. This isnt the end of the world so stoping laying awake at night wondering how many weeks you will spend there. Its all the f'ing same in the end.

Except now we'll probably have a lot more people sitting as PAT than we already do. BMQ may have been shortened and streamlined(?) but it doesn't help because none of the other trg system has followed suit.

In that case, I would love to be going to St.Jean, as in Borden from what I have been informed from CFRC the course is from Sept2-Dec7, so including week 0 thats 13 weeks

Where is my "climbing 7 floors of stairs with full kit" emotion. In St-Jean that's what you'll be doing. Really, the length of the course doesn't matter for s***. You still have to lean all the drill and procedures. 13 weeks (+week 0) was fine for me. Once you're there it goes by fast. Trust me, you want to know as much as possible coming out.

Thats true, I guess the legnth of BMQ shouldnt matter since I signed on for 3 years, and the longer I have to learn the "basics" the better.

Regardless of how long it is or how much you actually learn, when you get to your unit, you will get all the extra training you did not receive on recruiting training at your unit. And you will get refresher training every year, or how ever long it has to be refreshed. You will shoot your PWTs many times over the course of your career, you will get first aid training multiple times throughout your career, you will stand on many parades and do lots of parade practice. Your training in the basic skills you learn on BMQ will not stop when you get on the bus to leave St Jean, Borden or whereever you do your basic training.

The problem with that is that it puts a tremendous burden on the units to do what should have been in done in the school so instead of doing anything advanced they have to either go back to the basics or start the basics to begin with.
