You will undergo BMQ in St Jean Quebec, just outside of Montreal.  It is about a 2.5 hour drive there.  I am from Ottawa and while at BMQ I came home almost every weekend of leave.  I HIGHLY recommend bringing your vehicle!!  You will probably have princess leave, where you can go out for the...

A bit late in replying, but I started BMQ April 2018 at the age of 46.  I am now posted to a base on BTL awaiting training, and it will be at least another 2 years before I am minimally trained at the basic level of my trade.  Probably another few years before I am trained for my field of...

Im a week in at BMQ And I am literally looking at the list of things that need to be either sewn onto things or that need sticky tape labels attached. I can tell you that there was somewhere in the vicinity of about 250 items! And they’re due by this Friday. On top of everything else. Do...

I report to St Jean on April 28 for the April 30 start date so I guess we’re platoon mates.

That was very helpful.  Thank you!

Once I have completed BMQ and my courses at CFSMI to begin my career as an IntOp, I feel that my lengthy experience as a private investigator and a litigation paralegal would be best served either in JTFX or CAFNIU. However, do only MP's act as field investigators for the CIU or can intelligence...

Thank you for your response.  I love driving.  I could handle that. On an aside, anyone know how I can delete my double post?

I have been informed that after BMQ and BMQ Land, that I will report to CFSMI in Kingston, and while waiting 4-8 months for a spot in a course, I will be BMQ List.  I assume that this essentially puts you to work on the base while awaiting specialized training.  But what kind of work do recruits...

As an intOps recruit, I have been informed that after BMQ, I will be transferred to Intelligence School Kingston and while awaiting a spot in course, will be on Basic Training List.  What will this entail?  Am I looking at 4-6 months of mopping floors and peeling potatoes?

Thank you, gentlemen

I was told that at the one year mark, my clearance application, physical and interview need to be renewed.  As already suggested, contact your recruiter and talk to them about your interest in changing.

I work out off and on already, and strength is not an issue for me.  Endurance and cardio and my lack of either is my problem.  I have started hitting the treadmill in the morning at least.  I figure 4 months of BMQ and Land should drop the weight, and the 2-6 months I'm on Basic Training List...

Hello All This is my first and therefore my introductory post.  I am 46 yrs old and applied to IntOps "off the street" in November of 2016.  Last week I was contacted and recruited for training, and report to St Jean for April 28th. After an adult lifetime as a private investigator, I am WAY...
