I got my call on June 5th for a BMQ starting on the 14th of August. I've been accepted for NCM Infantry with PPCLI. I can't wait. I'm from Sudbury Ontario. I'd like to chat with some people that are also going.
St. Jean BMQ on August 14th. Who's going?

Any of you guys going for August 14th BMQ?
I hope I don't have trouble with the running, I've mostly been trying to bulk up and have been lifting weights a lot. Push ups and sit ups are no problem and I don't think I'm out of shape. I've been running one to two times a week. I should be able to get my cardio up there by august.
I hope :-\

Bulking up wont do you any good as an infantryman if you cant get yourself from point A to point B in a timely and orderly fashion.
Hard to lead from the front if you are strugling in the rear

not required. Strength, not size. Stamina, not size.Tyrone_88 said:
Everybody carries their rucks, but can you do the mile after mile with it in crushing heat. Stamina is everything, and even then it takes a lot of gutting it out, especially early on

I wouldn't be to obsessive over running as long as you can do at least 5km, they will work you up to doing the 14km goal if that's correct info. I mean look at the min requirements it doesn't say you need to be doing 5km a day so I figure if you can, you'll be fine. I agree you'll need strength, stamina, and mental stamina, so don't worry about "beefing up" work on conditioning yourself. Check this site out for ideas on what to keep working on to keep in top shape for training. http://www.cflrs.forces.gc.ca/site/soyez_prets/suggestion_e.asp

doesn't matter. Run until the person leading it stops. Run at the pace they set, as far as they want to go.Tyrone_88 said:
As I've stated on a number of occaisions, you should be aiming to do 10 kms in 40 minutes.

I have all my testing done and am on the merit list waiting for the call. Is there a deadline or anything for getting into the 14 Aug BMQ? I'm up to 10 k running and actually lost 7 lbs. through the course of my PT. One more question, I was told by my recruiting interviewer that the infantry are required to run a LOT more than the basic standard. I was told to set my goals in the 2.4 k to 8:45 and work up to run 15 k. Not as if I am going to drop those goals if it isn't true...I'll just train harder if it is.
One more question. During BMQ and all other training is there a policy that prohibits you from bringing your own juice or tea to drink?

In my St. Jean booklet it says you are prohibited from bringing any food items whatsoever into your quarters. I don't know if you can have your own stuff outside your quarters. I would probably say no because I don't think they want recruits consuming a whole bunch of stuff that could have supplements or steroids in them.
