January 27 BMQ

[Racine]

Im also flying from Vancouver to St. Jean on the 25th. My trade is ATIS Tech but I havn't got any military background whatsoever. Also im not in a good shape now, been training like a mad man and already went down to 190lbs from 215lbs in 3 weeks. I really hope we do the Force test as my push ups are childish. My run is improving alot though but I have a feeling the pushup would hold me back

Great job on trimming down! But I'm thinking it might be worthwhile for you to get pushing. Even if they give us the Force test, I doubt they're going to reduce the push-ups everywhere else.

That's true, I watched the basic up vids and during inspection it looks like they'll find a excuse to give you minimum 25 push-ups  ^-^

You still have time,  After two weeks you'll be able to do 25 pushups. Go for more though you have almost four weeks. You will also have to do much more than 25

Good luck.

just taking a look at the backlog here... but, i was also wondering what people have been told that they should bring with to make the winter months a bit easier??? still looking around, so not sure if there is a thread somewhere for this.

Too bad we don't have the issued kit now, j.maslow! -26, over a foot of snow has fallen (and still falling!), and blizzard conditions in Nova Scotia ... would have been a great day to play outside to prepare for Basic

So, I'm guessing the shorts and 2 work out shirts are going to keep us warm enough for the runs before kit gets issued lol.

Haha, I just bought my sport short/shirt and trying to figure out how does this work!! Specially the shirt is like running with lots of ventilation  ^-^

Won't be so bad after we get going for a bit.

A good investment i think would be a balaclava.
