Co-op BMQ

[Sapper24]

Does anyone know when the RHFC bmq co-op begins? and also is anyone doing the bmq co-op route?

I heard that was squashed. Havn't seen a Co-Op Troop in years.

nope actually its not squashed, the K-W area has had a CO-OP BMQ for quite a few years now, I believe quite a few cities in Ontario do.

It all depends on $$$$.  In Windsor we  don't have the money to spend on Co-op, and weekend BMQ.  It also depends on the area you're in.  In a lot of bigger cities, the school boards aren't as friendly to the military, and it takes a lot of finessing to get the guidance departments on line.  In the smaller communities, citizens haven't lost the work ethic that once made this country what it is, and guidance counsellors are open to the military.

As for the K-W area crse, it should be starting soon.  I don't have the exact dates, as I'm busy trying to get the Windsor guys in on time for our crse.  Best bet, call 31 CER (The Elgins) or The RHFof C.  They should have the stats and dates.

[Matt-Z]

just a small question about the beret...will the course staff chew you out if you cut off the tags in your beret, or are you just best to leave them in until you are done you BMQ, SQ and your 3's...I know to leave the liner in to.

Try to leave all kit unaltered...just the way it was issued to you.  And a big thing is to write your name and last 3 on EVERYTHING...in some cases multiple times.  Not just on labels but on the actual piece itself.  Darn thiefs...they're everywhere.
