Basic Training Compared to Combat School

[Fu2M4n]

Hey Fellas,

I Filled out the application and i‘m thinking of bringing it in tomorrow, I‘m Gonna join the Infantry. Now i know i could ask the recruiter tomorrow but i wanna hear it from people who‘ve gone through it, and will tell me the good and BAD of it.

Basic Training - Guess im just curious as to how hard its gonna be and if i should expect Worse from Battle School.

I know the Push-ups Sit-ups Minimum is at 19 but how many can i expect to be doing during Basic?
How much running can i expect do be doing?

How hard do they make it Mentally? Should i actually be proud to get through basic or is Battle School gonna be 10 times worse?

Ive played sports in Provincial leagues all my life so it kept me in decent shape but ive slacked off alot in the last 2 years. So im just wondering if im gonna have enough time to train during the Processing time (anyone know how long it is these days? Recruiting officer told me it could take up to a year but ive also read that the PPCLI are extremely short right now)or should i play it safe and wait a month before applying.

I‘ll pass the physical testing right now but i wanna excel in basic and anything after that. What would you guys recommend?
