    Room and board while at BMQ

    I just proved my CLR with a lease in both our name, a receipt of our rent for 2010 and a current bill from both of us.  Bring a copy of your title and a current bill like your joint CC receipt.  In fact bring as much proof that you can to prove you've been living together for a year.  Our Regt...

    Comm Research

    You can't listen and type at the same time?  Well that precludes you from doing a a lot of things as a 291er that I can't begin to tell you here.  "Listening, copying, focusing visually, all at the same time basically" as you put is pretty much the bread and butter of our trade.  You need to get...

    Backpack

    Cpgear makes some excellent products, incl various packs in cadpat.  They are expensive though but a damn good product.  The medical pack is used quite often overseas.  Don't let the people so far discourage you from getting the pack that you want.  Not once have I gotten in trouble for...

    Do your EWAT over at 21 EW, you get lda.  That's what I did.  Stop trying to go home, all likely hood your getting posted to Leitrim afterwards anyways so get used to not being near family.  Unless your from Ottawa that is.

    Combat Engineer Training

    Tell him to ask his staff for their grad date.  BMQ-L can take place in a bunch of different places, Gagetown NB, Meaford ON, Shilo MB, Wainwright AB. Those were the places people were going when I went to mine.  It changes often, but with him being a Combat Eng he'll likely do it in either...

    Combat Engineer Training

    BMQ is 14 weeks not 13, BMQ-L (SQ)  is 20 days of working but 4.5 weeks away. A lot of my basic platoon from last year that went Combat engineer are only now starting their trade training, so he should have plenty of time to spend any leave he may have after BMQ. He should be entitled to Sep...

    Course Serial Number

    Eye in the Sky is excactly right.  Mine was just R0262E, R meaning Recruit NCM, 0262 meaning I was the 262nd platoon since they started numbering, and E was the fact that we were English.

    Relax and Chill out!

    what have you against former cadets?  I was one and just finished BMQ in the top ten of my platoon and I was our platoon commander for the grade parade. I told my PO right off the back that I was a former cadet, it was in my bio, not once did that come back to haunt me, and you know why?  When...

    BMQ in St.Jean

    Just got my 7 today and no there is no Ice rink to play hockey on available to recruits/leadership candiates but you can play floor hockey in the gym, but your platoon staff will HIGHLY discourage any kind of team sports because you don't want to get hurt.
