Norris95 said:I wish I had the summer course, but they were full and the September course was the soonest one. I hope to do as many courses as soon as I can so I took the weekend bmq instead of waiting a full year for the summer option. Can reservists do SQ during the summer?

Norris95 said:Another question is about kit. I know I'll get a list to bring but when I bring it should I try have everything in order? i.e. no wrinkles, stringies, not a huge mess of random kit, etc. Also when I was trying on the pants the person who was fitting me said to not worry that they seem a little big, yet they were past my feet unless I hiked them up past my belly button and still I felt like Eminem because they were wide and low in the crotch :-\. Is that just how they are? Thanks.
Norris95 said:Are recruits allowed to do things like forming the beret before bmq? I don't to show up with my beret formed wrong and then have them show everybody how to do it the proper way.
Norris95 said:Sorry to bring up this post again, but I have some more questions. My BMQ starts in the next few days, and theres aloooot of things I'm not sure about (mostly kit). Here's a list of things that I do not know what they are/ if I have them:
"Approved Brass Buckle" - Didn't get any buckle
"Boots Ankle" only got one pair of boots, they were really tall ones
"Dress Leather black gloves" - All the gloves I got had the patterns on them
"Necktie CF" - Didn't get any ties, Do I get them myself?
"Shirt Cf Long Sleeve, Short sleeve" - Not sure which if I have these
"Socks nylon black" - I assume I get these myself?
"Trousers+Tunic DEU"
"Metal shoulder titles"
"Boots CBT, Gortex, Wet Wheater" - Like I said, I only got one pair
"Cap CBT Field"
"Bivy Bag"
"Cover Cam Helm"
"Boots cleaning kit" - I assume I just bring some polish and a kiwi cloth or something like that?
"Issued Thermos" - Dont have one
By the way, when issued my kit we went over several times and I know I got everything in the "Initial Kit List.
Thanks again.
All the DEU items listed above, you won't need(you don't have them) for BMQ and like PuckChaser said you will get that issued later when you are entitled to it."Approved Brass Buckle" - Didn't get any buckle
"Boots Ankle" only got one pair of boots, they were really tall ones
"Dress Leather black gloves" - All the gloves I got had the patterns on them
"Necktie CF" - Didn't get any ties, Do I get them myself?
"Shirt Cf Long Sleeve, Short sleeve" - Not sure which if I have these
"Socks nylon black" - I assume I get these myself?

Norris95 said:Ok, what abut the plastic wrappings? And should I bring everything to BMQ even though it isn't necessary (Balaclava, winter gloves, etc. because it's still hot out) or do we have to bring it anyways?
