BMQ Regular Force 2005 - 2017 [Merged]

[eharps]

Yep, I am!

Good to hear brother (or sister). We will have to meet up when we arrive before the training gets rolling, will be good to have a familiar face to get started with.

Where did you swear in?

*Edited my ignorance.

Right on EHarps.  I sure do want that basic para course, what about yourself? I hope there is no weight limit though as on a light day I'm 230lbs, though I expect to drop 30ish lbs and a bunch of gym strength, but we will see what happens.  Also I don't really want to do maintenance  on LAVs.  After spending the last 4 years working on a drilling rig I would like to not have to maintain heavy machinery anymore.

I hope to if I can make it through. I've been training for a while but I'm still nervous. I am around the same as you, 6'1 and 232 lbs with a heavy muscle build (and a small soft layer from my best friend/worst enemy, beer)  :cheers:

For now, I am excited to get started and see how I perform. Hopefully I can get to the level I want but for now I am setting my sights, pun intended, on doing the best I can at BMQ. What platoon are you on?

See you Saturday.

Same height aswell.  My worst enemy has been pizza, and not working 12-16 hour shifts up north for the last 7months,  but the nice thing is that the heavier I weigh, the more I can bench press haha.  Not sure on which platoon.  I imagine I will find out tomorrow at my swearing in ceremony...?  Sounds good man,  I'm sure you can get to the level you want if your hungry for it.  Cya there man,

Yeah they will tell you at your swearing in, hope for 123E! haha Yeah I was in a good routine for working out and running, but I just moved recently and that messed me up. I think it will be a bit of a shock but I can pick it up.

Hey all,

Received my offer today for the January 11th BMQ.

Figured I would start a thread for anyone else who receives this date.
