Where are ya comin from?
I might be counting chickens before they hatch, but I should see some of you in Saint Jean for those comming in on Jan 5. I got there Nov 24 and failed the Express test (fitness test) because I misunderstood the push ups and didn't go all the way down. Passed the shuttle run test, the hand grip and the sit ups. I get to challenge the test after Christmas break and if I pass I'm back into BMQ and off PAT. Just heads up, if you don't pass the fitness test, you will not be with the same recruits your came in with and taken off your original platoon and put onto WFT platoon until you do pass the fit test. It use to be RFT but now they have changed it all after Christmas break. ANYWAY... I'm in as a Medical Technician, former certified nursing attendant and really really excited to get back into BMQ asap!!
For ST Jean....
I wouldn't worry too much about what to bring or what not to bring, just folow the kit list in the package they give you at enrollment and you will be fine. They are going to give you yet another kit list when you get there and you HAVE to get those items, most are mandatory for inspection and they are very specific about the items they want. When I was there for week 0, we had to take a $220 pay advance to get items on said list. One thing I can advise you guys on for week 0 is to ALWAYS bring your paperwork with you EVERYWHERE and your ID as well because you never know when you are going to need what. DOUBLE check your security clearance forms and make sure all your "I"s are dotted and "T"s are crossed WELL. Make sure ALL paperwork is filled out completely.
