mcrm said:I still have to be enrolled which I assume means my swearing in. Is that correct (and if so what type of attire?) I was asked to keep Tuesday evening free as I need to do it to start my BMQ this Friday coming. However I haven't been told where (I'd also assume Fort York) or at what time (other than in the evening). They only contacted me this week to attend next weeks course. Seems like someone dropped out maybe.
QOR here, we're diagonal from you guys on the parade squarelidsuu said:Any other 48ths here? I'm starting BMQ on the 15th, as well.

lidsuu said:Blahhh! I wanted QOR so badly. How did you manage to get in!? I'm coming to your side as soon as there's availability (which will probably be never, but I will never quit trying. LOL).
Hey who knows, you might like 48th. Give it a chance. They are a great unit as well!lidsuu said:Blahhh! I wanted QOR so badly. How did you manage to get in!?
ObedientiaZelum said:Maybe you should change your avatar to reflect your loyalty since you're obviously not loyal to the 48th.

You still can. I'm pretty sure the 48th can take part in the basic para courses as well. It's not JUST for the QOR.lidsuu said:Yea, but I want to jump out of planes.

My bad..must've been someone else then. I still have a lot to learn hahaPrairieThunder said:Thats weird... Highland units don't wear berets.

-Skeletor- said:The Basic Para course is open to anyone. It's just a matter of right time/right place if you are in unit without a Airborne tasking(eg QOR, 3rd battalions, etc). A number of 48th Highlanders and other Reservists in the brigade have gotten onto the course.
The only unit within 32 Brigade authorized the maroon beret is the QOR Para Coy. The only other units in Ontario that wear the maroon beret are qualified pers in CAAWLC(various Res/Reg capbadges) and 3RCR M(Para) Coy AFAIK.
