[Narcisse]

They call me today. They said that I would have probably been there IF... I had no need to have another appointment for a test view with glasses. Seems that the contact lens is not okay because of the campaign exercise. I HAVE to do a test with glasses. So they things going to be a bit longer. I still think that there's some chances I could get there but I think It's going to be impossible.

I just thought I would share something with you "new" recruits.  BMQ will be the time of your life, work hard, never give up, forget the pain, stay focused, own up to a mistake, and always look out for your platoon mates.  I graduated myself around a month ago, I had some significant injuries while on course, but dug deep and carried myself through to the end (with mental strength and the help of a few certain section mates), and I enjoyed every waking moment of the course.  I already miss my instructors, although that sounds wierd and all, but they were tough and I respect them for everything they did for me and the platoon.  It was a great time of my life, and I'm very glad I made the decision to join the CF.  I am an infantry soldier in the R.C.R., and am now in Meaford doing my DP1 course.  Good luck to you all in BMQ, and during and after your great careers.  Peace.

Good info, mciver, however, people should also remember that you can't work through every injury on their own, they may end up hurting themselves worse in the long run.  Listen to your body!
