Shoto said:I just graduated this week. We had 49 make it. When we started, there were 70.
Now, that is NOT all faliure. Some guys went strait to RFT, I think around 11 guys went the first week. Some guys get REALLY sick when they're there, and miss class, who get recoursed. Some guys VR too, but it was a SMALL amount. Probably 10 guys.
We also had guys added to our platoon from other platoons, for the above reason.
Hope that sheds light.

CDN Aviator said:I started university by distance education while i was on Tour. Had to fax my assignments by secure satcom ( from the back of a truck) to Ottawa so the guy there could send them by regular fax to my school. I continued school by writting essays from the back of an M113 in Wainwright ( fall weather there is great btw) during exercises while having to carry around my text books in my rucksack so i wouldnt fall too far behind. I did even more of it while raising 2 kids.........
2 jobs and long hours = spoiled indeed
Prairie Dog said:Wow, 50%...no wonder there are never enough soldiers around when we need them.
Someone is pulling your chain. And its nothing to worry about. You are not put on BMQ to fail....accordingly its not like university where they will want you to fail. The CF wants you to pass BMQ and get to your real job. It is the job of the instructors to help you pass.

jeffb said:See this previous thread on failure rate for IAP/ BOTP which was what BMOQ was previously called.
Eye In The Sky said:Not quite correct. IAP and BOTP used to give you the qualification BOTC which was renamed BMOQ.
