Hey guys!
First week-end off, indoctrination is over. (now a week 5)
My BMQ is in french, much easier than an english platoon I'ld say.
Much less screaming and jacking. (except with R22Rs - My section cmder is one :threat
Staff changes a lot, we lost 3 instructors so far for various reasons.
Cafeteria food is great, but on fridays/week-ends, it's pretty much left overs. (but after indoc, you can go out! )
We had our first performance evaluations, it's mainly based on grades and how the staff perceives you in classes/drill.
Drill is a love/hate relationship.
When you get 100% on an exam, it's a good chit, then you fail, you get a bad chit...
Couple of peeps got good chits for perseverance on PT and marches (overweights basically).
Life insurance is so cheap, it's insane. 4$/month for 100 000$ eh!
Bring copies of all your documents, I forgot to make one of my references and clerks weren't too happy.
Finally, I lost 12 pounds in 5 weeks (4 really, week 0 is admin only). Mainly on the legs and the forearms. We don't do enough abs workouts. PSP kicks our ***, it's insane! lol
If you have any questions, just ask away! 5 weeks passes so fast I forgot a lot of details.
