Hummmm......since you're all eager for information the course you're on is the "Enhanced BMQ" meaning it's a combination of the standard BMQ plus three weeks of material from the Soldier Qualification which is being phased out.
So the first 9-10 weeks are spent on general military knowledge type lectures, drill, C7 rifle and some other stuff. PT is conducted 3-5 days a week, many times twice a day. Once at 0520hrs and again at 1530hrs. The morning sessions are mainly runs and marches and the afternoon sessions are mainly swimming and circuit trg but there are some marches as well.
The last few weeks are spent learning how to live in the field, how to navigation, fieldcraft (cam, movement etc...), tactics and drills etc.... Theres a 4-5 day exercise to learn then a 4-5 day exercise to practice what you've learned in a tactical environment. I'm still sorting out the the tactical exercise because we don't have the million dollar camps they've constructed in St Jean.
For Cbt Arms types, the material from the SQ not covered on the Enhanced BMQ is supposed to be covered on your DP 1 trade crse. For CSS types there a SQ Delta crse that covers machine guns and some other stuff. I think thats how its supposed to work anyway, some things have changed while I was learning French.
I'm looking forward to getting started, Hooah!
