Yeah I hope the leg gets feeling better... I'm going through for MP. I've found lots of good tips on the forums to get ready for BMQ. I fly up on the 20th... same for you guys?

Yes I get sworn in on the 19th and fly out on the 20th.  There are 2 platoons for the 22nd though... do you guys know which one you are in?

 

[turbonium]

I swear in feb 6th. i am not sure which platoon ill be on. is it 2 english or 1 french 1 english?

 

[Lil_T]

They're both anglo courses. FYI.

If I do end up on that course I'd like to get on with my old course staff - but that's a crapshoot. Hope the leg is better by then.

 

[erik.hillis]

Good luck troops. If you have any questions about the joint feel free to ask (PM)... I'm there now.

Could swear I heard that in the new year BMQ was going back to 10 weeks... the start/end date on the CFLRS says otherwise though. I guess you'll find out.

 

[colt]

i too am in CFLRS right now and i heard the rumor of a 10 week course myself but was told by staff that its not happening,we'll just have to wait and see in Jan.

 

[Ksiiqtaboo]

I don't think we are going to the 10 week because my end date is May 28th and I'm starting on the 22nd of Feb.

 

[Lil_T]

That's a big NO on the 10 week course rumour superfriends.  I've had the privilege of poking around in places most of you guys wouldn't get to see - while there are some changes to the course, shortening it to 10 weeks isn't one of them.  According to MITE and the CFLRS production schedule, last time I checked, the course was still 14 weeks including Preparatory week.

 

[turbonium]

that is good to hear. I want the full training!  :blotto:

 

[shilohshy]

Me too!  :nod:

I just hope I survive the entire 14 weeks LOL

 

[aesop081]

that is good to hear. I want the full training!  :blotto:

When i joined in 1993, the course was 10 weeks. I'm sure i got the "full training."
