waiting for BMQ (reserves)
- Thread starter lone bugler
- Start date
I started mine, its been okay. Going to my unit is better, you don't get yelled at but all well.
Keep your eyes and ears open and pay attention in class. Bring a pen and paper! And a felt pen! Very important.
Drill isn't fun, expect to get yelled at lots.
Fun times.
And remember, don't quit! Its only a weekend every week or two. In a few months it will be over and it will be much better with your unit and other courses you take. They yell because they are suppose to yell not because you are a complete fuck up (well in most cases, haha). Don't talk back and treat everyone with respect. Try your hardest in making your bed, inspection, PT, listening in class etc.

In my time as an instructor, i have never yelled because "i was supposed to". If i did yell ( i rarely needed to) its because the person on the receiving end was indeed a total fuckup.
Haha, well maybe you are correct.
From what I saw you get yelled at for making a mistake in drill or when in inspection and you get yelled at you try to make a legitimate explanation you get yelled at more.
Either way, take the yelling and get through it.

Thats because you either did it right, or you did it wrong. No explanation needed.

Ok, October 17th, Hamilton, anyone else?
I've been waiting for an offer from Toronto 709 Comm. Reg. for a little while now. Recruiting on Sheppard/Yonge St. tells me that I should be sworn-in real soon. As I hold my breath, I was wondering if I could get a few qs answered such as what happens after that. I will be going in as an officer. Do i do BMQ first? If so when/where are my options ... If there is no BMQ , what can i do as i wait ?
Thanks for that (beforehand).

I'm finally swearing in Tuesday September the 30th at moss park. I'm going Ncm infantry for the 48th highlanders. For jpljpl, it all depends were your unit is based, to my understanding i would be starting bmq on October 17th, but that's just moss park.
if BMQ or BMOQ is on the weekend at Moss Park- how does that work ... do u sleep there ? Is there a shooting range or an obstacle course there ? And would it reflect badly on ones records if one did there BMQ/BMOQ that way than lets say 2 and half months in St. Jean ?

I haven't been sworn in or recieved my kit yet, but I was told that I am "for sure" on the October 17th BMQ course. I'm joining 31 CER in Waterloo though, and I think the course is out of London. That course musn't have been very full. I'm supposed to be getting my kit and being sworn in either this thursday or next tuesday. And I havn't really heard of any orientation, hopefully I can get oriented when I get my kit
