[raylenedavid]

Hey everyone,

I will be joining you guys in St Jean on February 1st for BMQ. Looking forward to meeting you all and starting my career with the Royal Canadian Air Force. Coming there from Halifax, NS.

Looking forward to the experience, hear it stays with you for the rest of your life. Does anyone know when you can start using your local base gym for free?

Does anyone know when you can start using your local base gym for free?

Once you get a Military ID card.

Were you hoping to be able to go to CFB Winnipeg and use the gym there prior to BMQ?

All of us that are participating in the Feb 1st 2016 bmq course in St Jean should create a facebook group so we can communicate easier, just a thought. Not long now until we all meet !

Those 3 months how did it feel for you? Did it feel like it was extremely quick or did it feel slow for you personally?

Edited to add a couple more discussions about what BMQ is like for the original poster. Almost a limitless supply of info here about what BMQ is like. In addition to what is on the CFLRS site.

Some people approach training like it's a misery to be endured, others approach it like every day is a new adventure. How "fast" the time goes by very much depends on one's personal attitude.

I found, all those years ago, that the days dragged on but the weeks flew by, if that makes sense.

Imagine if you still had to update your Facebook status at the end of those days. 

 

[raylenedavid]

All of you can add my facebook account ''Raylene David'' and then I will add you to the group!

Depends on your perspective. The first 4 weeks for me a struggle cause of the sleeping pattern and the amount of PT you do. But as you go on... the minute that you get your orders for the following day it goes by quick.

Have fun and enjoy!

( Current schedule )

a.0500 hrs: wake up;

You're forgetting the people who set their alarms for 4am so they can get up and crash around for an hour. Or the dummies who set 7 alarms and keep hitting snooze.

Like most have stated, it will be what you decide to make it.

Personally I found it as more a foundation on relationships and how you deal with those you do not niche with but can't "just" leave. So you find away to agree to disagree or get along without getting along.

The attitude you go in with will determine your perspective. Once my routine was established the weeks flew by with long days. Get you weekends and it is all gravy from their.

 

[RMJOE]

I found out from a friend at 17 wing to just walk into the gym, if they ask you for Id show them your recruitment paperwork. Did you guys make a page for BMQ February 1.

 

[Angus6369]

Sort of. There's been three of us just chatting through Facebook.

 

[raylenedavid]

If you want to communicate with us RMJOE, just add me on Facebook '' Raylene David'' and I can add you to the group chat. Same goes for anyone else on our course

 

[Janto]

Welp, Its almost that time.... Look forward to seeing everyone there, enjoy your last bit of free time!
