BMQ Regular Force 2005 - 2017 [Merged]

[JAGWIRE]

I think it's just nerves more than anything to be honest! I've got it worked out. The people on this thread are excellent  :nod:

Hello fellow Nav. Come! We are also both from the east coast which is even better.

Any lay overs or just direct?
Vancouver airport is very nice and easy to navigate you'll be fine.

I leave Abbotsford airport, go to Calgary, then to Toronto, then to Montreal.

I have the worst upper body strength.  No matter how much I try to improve it. But thank you and I'll definitely look into doing more of that

 

[Treemoss]

The holidays are a great time of year for that  . Best thing you can do to prepare is just make some simple changes to your diet, drink plenty of water, and try to keep active if you got the time.

Here's a quick 45-60 minute workout that I've been using for the past 4 months. A friend of mine who designed it is a kinesioligist/personal trainer made it. It's very beginner/intermediate/expert friendly in that you can adjust it to your fitness level. You can also add in weight lifting afterwards if you wish to further strengthen your upper body.


Feel free to use it at your leisure!



20 minute jog/run at an incline
15 minute HIIT on an eliptical, 30 seconds of high intensity, then 45s-1m going at a medium level

50 jumping jacks
15 lunges (15 each leg)
20 pushups
20 situps
20 jump squates
20 pushups
20 situps

Hello fellow Nav Comm! Nice to see someone with the same trade. Which platoon are you?

I havn't been told yet. Hopefully when I go in on the 22nd for my swear in they will tell me.

Biggest piece of advise is to find your new gate before doing anything else. All airports are the same just follow the signs and you will be fine.

I think at this point I am more nervous for the FORCE test then anything more or less the 20m rushes.

Ok if you don't have a base near you (and yes there is snow in the ground for most of us) go outside measure 20m put something to indicate the 10m mark. Ask a friend spouse stranger lol to time you we all have stop watches on our smartphones. Watch the video the link was provided in an earlier post and practise remember practise makes progress!
I have been doing this since June with the force test.  The shuttle run some ppl say oh that's easy but everyone has there strengths and weaknesses all you can do is try and be the best prepared you can be.  I'm slow as anything running so I'm sure ppl will be looping me during 5km but not giving up is key!

I have talked to a bunch of people about the FORCE test and most of them said that it it nothing to be worried about.

 

[krimynal]

force test is pretty simple and easy , only 1 thing is a bit harder , it's the 51 sec. shuttle drop down part.  but if you are somewhat in shape you shouldn't have any worries !

 

[JAGWIRE]
