I just finished BMQ. My experience was that they encouraged you not to bring your car if you don't have to, but they will not stop you if you do bring it. Just an FYI... you are CB'd (confined to barracks for the first 4 weeks), so there will be no access to your car, so storing extra civie gear...

My course number is 0218.

I was told that the ratio is about 30 computers for approximately 2000 recruits, so I think phone banking is going to be the best option.

It was suggested to me that having 2 pairs of running shoes is a good investment. You don't want to put a soggy pair of shoes on the day after a wet run. I would not have thought of that but your feet are important to you and it can't hurt having a pair dry extra shoes on hand. Keep up on the...

Hey jLeger, Congrats. Maybe we will cross paths at BMQ. I leave from Dartmouth for Saint-Jean on Sept. 25 to start BMQ on the 26th. Good luck to you.

Hey everyone, I know the wait is tough, but hang in there. I was selected on the July 18th board and I received a call with an offer on August 22. Just be prepared that it may take that long. Keep busy training. Keep yourself occupied. The next thing you know the phone is ringing and you...

Here here Chimo. I salute you  :salute:

Sgt. mstorey, is it possible that you may be one of our instructors?

Semperfidelis, well put. To all: While I was reading these threads, more then ever I am determined to live up to expectations of being a Combat Engineer. I start BMQ on Sept. 26. I am looking forward to the challenge that is ahead and I will make all you Sappers proud in continuing the...

Doucelotus: OK, you have got us there. I give my hats off to anyone who has brought up kids. Sounds like you have put in an equivalent to a few Tours of Duty. I get sworn in next Wednesday. Can't wait also. Watson: Yes I did reply to your msg. Check it should be there.

Hey Watson, "Go long"... Looking forward to it too. Hey bro, I may not be as fast as I used to be back in my football days, but I will always have your back when you need it. lol

Yes please lets end this one. So many posts get carried away with people bantering back and forth. I have nothing against some healthy bantering. That's where it all comes back to our right to freedom of speech. Bottom line is that this is where we have to separate ourselves from the ignorance...

SemperFidelis: You are very good and I like to see that you are going to be a Combat Engineer. Nice work.

Hey Mojo Magnum, I go to BMQ from Sept. 26-Dec. 9. in St.Jean. What about you?

Hey Icer, excellent advice in your reply. It is very encouraging to hear that if you apply yourself, you have the ability to fastrack in advancement. That is how I looked at it also. You are bringing maturity to the CF already.

Hey Doucelotus, I have a few years on you. It is good to see that there are few older recruits are going at the same time. It doesn't seem to be out of the norm anymore. Looking forward to meeting you at BMQ.

Hey everyone, just to give you an idea. I was selected on the July 18 selection board and I got the call on August 22. That was fast. Even if you are selected there is still no guarantee when you will get an offer. It could still be months. I saw one guy say that he was selected in February and...

As Fitsumo said we will be some of the 30 something recruits and as stated this topic has been touched on before, so I don't won't to drag it on too much. One, you are definitely not too old. It is different now then it was before, as you can see the age ranges greatly. I am 39 and I feel I am...

Hey Watson, I am from Dartmouth, NS or as it is affectionately known, the Darkside. I lived in TO for most of my life, just came down here about a year and a half ago.

Hey Zombie I have seen any Engineers going to Borden yet, but you never know the way people are being shipped all over the place.
