Cpl Bloggins said:Sorry to contradict you, but the Comm Res runs its own recruit school during the summer in beautiful, sunny Shilo.
Oh so is it the basic 11 week course or will it be shorter cause its the reserve?geo said:BMQs are done in Fall, Winter, Spring & Summer months
They are done part time in Fall, winter & Spring
They are done full time in Summer
Sig_Des said:And If you're wondering about doing a BMQ with a local unit during the winter, or on weekends, with the Sigs....don't count on it.
It happens from time to time, but Comm Res HQ REALLY doesn't like signing off on it.
geo said:Really?... OK... still it's the Regular BQ & SQ qualification
same as given in St Jean.
"militia" course is somewhat shorter - editing out some of the repetitive material and stripped of the Admin periods.

Well.... all things being equal:ELLIS said:I'm a bus driver in Guelph full time. I'd like to join the reserves but I don't want to go through BMQ every other weekend. I've been authorized to take a leave of absence from May to the end of August to accomplish my training. How much can I complete and where would I be assigned for this training? I'd like to join with the Fusiliers.
