hey free,
I just thought of something, even though we're not doing Basic in the same place, we'll likely end up doing MOC in Kingston at the same time.
Any other Sig Ops out there going to basic on Oct 3?

Congratulations everyone and good luck at bmq.
I got asked yesterday at my unit if I wanted to attend a bmq at the end of this month. Maybe it's the same one as yours? I can't get the time off my civvie job until January though, and I want more time in my unit to prepare. I've been training much harder and I just want my old bones to be ready this time. I don't plan on doing bmq again!
My unit's got some range training coming up. Also, there are about 8 recruits who won't even be going to bmq until next April, so unlike when I was sent (2 days after being sworn in with no time in unit) I think they are at an advantage and I'd like to take that time to get ready too.
Fry to answer your question, yes Borden is a Naval Reserve Training Division, but when I was there we had reg force airforce folks in our platoon and there was lots of army training going on too. My instructors were one from each element (navy, air and army).
I didn't spend any time to speak of in Borden, but did make it to Barrie and to Wasaga beach.
Anyway, congratulations again to all of you.

Troops to all those going to Borden to do BMQ, I can help answer a few questions....
1. current course is in a transition phase from 11 to 13 weeks long.
2.Reg force and reserves are trained there, reservists primarily in the summer with some reg dispersed between.
3. At any given time there will be up to 5 courses in house starting in sept
If you need any more info ask me, I will answer it if I can, or if I think you need to know

After your successfully pass your BMQ the army will foot the bill to fly you to wherever your next course is running, and as for flying you home at christmas, if you are single the army usually pays for the majority if not all your ticket price.

I'm not single.
Does this mean I should be saving for a plane ticket for Dec 16?

Dont panic the army should foot the bill because you are on course, make sure you address this day one of the course and your staff should be able to sort you out. As you will learn on your BMQ and through future traing etc. Single pers and married pers are entitled to different things. For example single pers get most if not all there ticket paid for once a year, married guys like us get hosed, if in doubt ask your corse staff like I stated
