Try reading the suggestions in some of the topics on "Running" or "Physical Fitness".  There is lots of good advice already posted in those topics.

We now return you to the September BMQ thread.

So I called my CFRC today to inquire about Sept BMQ and I was told that Sept spots are not open yet.  Man, I hate misinformation.  Either on my or her part...because obviously, there are spots open.  I am really hoping to do my BMQ at St Jean not Borden, but either way, it'll be great because I'll be on my way to becoming a soldier!  The recruiter also told me that they will give me at least 2 weeks notice before my training starts so I guess I won't be seeing you all on Sept 2.  Good luck to everyone though, and I hope your experience will be a blast!

Well from what i understand the course for sept 2nd is actually full ( from the looks of things training in Borden doesnt take as many people as ST. jean anyways ), maybe she ment the next course isnt open for enrollment yet.

I will be there as well, Coming in from Ottawa so it will be far enough from home. St.Jean would have been closer for me but I cant complain. Going Infantry Reg. I cant wait......now if only I could quit smoking.......
