Good for you and good luck to all!
Pieman said:Is the swearing in ceremony something that is worth dragging my friends and family members down for? I don't want to drag them down there if it is going to be just me holding my hand up for a minute to give allegiance to the Queen. (It will be at CFRC Calgary if that helps)
I couldn't agree more. The swearing in the ceremony is by far the most important part of all. This is the moment of truth, the moment that you've strived for all through the BMQ. It should be a time of pride and a time to look forward to the future of your career that you hold with other soldiers who have the same interests as yourself. Why would you not want to share your accomplishments with your family and friends? It's a time of celebration! Be proud of yourself and what you can do to serve your country.spud said:Kinda early to adopt an attitude like that isn't it? During the swearing in of two different family members at different times we were given the opportunity to ask any questions, were shown a video about what the recruits were in store for and watched the swearing in and signing. We were also given the chance to take pictures of the happenings. We didn't consider ourselves dragged there, we were proud and more then happy to be there. Your family and friends will probably feel the same way.

That sounds good to me, I am sure they will enjoy seeing me swear in then.During the swearing in of two different family members at different times we were given the opportunity to ask any questions, were shown a video about what the recruits were in store for and watched the swearing in and signing.

It'll be what you make it; dress nice, chin up, chest out, be proud of yourself. And the first time you feel like running home from BMQ (at some point lots do), remember how proud you felt at your swearing in.Pieman said:That sounds good to me, I am sure they will enjoy seeing me swear in then.
