The 45 minutes of showertime & inspection prep is going to quickly drop if your staff was anything like mine... There were certain days where only a small % of our platoon were able to shower after PT because of the redic timings we were given; in any case, your best friend is the babywipes!

Hello. It differs year to year, and your location. Sometimes BMQ (L) may be held on weekends, sometimes it may not..Same goes for your Trade Qualification. Correct me if I'm wrong & don't quote me on this... but part-time BMQ (L) or Trade Qualifications, if even held at all in the present year...
