My heart is breaking to have to say I won't be joining you guys after all. I've been in and out of the hospital since Wednesday. Turns out I've developed an "impressive" blood clot in my leg that has had me immobilized all wknd. Bright side to this is that the clot was formed by something I can...

Not sure about my platoon, but I'm in serial 105E.

I can't tell you how excited I am about BMQ. I have learnt, from karate, to turn off my mind and just do as I'm told. Believe that my instructors know more then me and trust them completely. I fully expect to be broke down and then rebuilt in my fitness and I'm just vibrating from the...

Thank you, I have been putting some great advice found there to use.

I've wanted to be in the military since "Christ was a corporal" if you'll excuse the cliché. Now, at 43, I'm realizing that dream. All my life I have been considered fit or athletic even elite at one point. One thing I never took to was running. I can jump rope until the cows come home, I love...

Well done CPerry!! Military Police eh? So you must be in pretty great shape. Tell you what, you help me drag my sorry ass over the 6' wall, I help with your ironing ;)

I guess I'll be joining you boys on the 17th. I'm going for Mat Tech. Swearing in on the 5th. I look forward to meeting you all.

I haven't swam since I was caught in an undertow when I was 20 (and drunk....lesson learned). My husband took me to the Y and basically held my hand for the first 2 minutes, but the time we left I did two five minutes of treading water, 4 slow lengths of the pool with different strokes and a...

I was under the assumption that BMQ Land was done in St. Jean directly after BMQ. I'll be heading to Borden after St. Jean. Is it possible I'll be doing BMQ-L there? The problem with joining the military is everyone tells you something different. I'm finding out that a good portion of what I...

I tried one of theses gels just today. I felt no change in how I felt while running, but I've been slightly dizzy and cramped all afternoon. I worry about my running. I can jump rope until the cows come home so cardio isn't a factor. My karate instructor says my lack of running ability is...

YOU CAN SPRAIN YOUR HAIR FOLLICLE!!!!!  8) ;) I just can't wait for this ride to begin!! Thanks for all the fantastic advice :salute:

I did a search, found a thread with my answer, but answer was from 2009. Times change and I hope the answer to my question has to. Do they still take birth control pills away at BMQ? I can survive without them, but I prefer to not have random unpredictable periods :-\ Thank you ;)

But I'm super likeable.  :nod:

Do you know the link to CFSEME?

well crap :-\ Thanks DAA

A wee bit confused. I was told that my PLAR is separate from my application process. That I can be chosen, sent to BMQ all while my PLAR is being assessed. What I'm gathering here is that this is not the case. Am I right in guessing that NOTHING happens until the PLAR is completed to?

Have you been given a sheet on the "Forces" fit test yet? Try "you tubing" it. When I passed my physical I was given a sheet to let me know what the fit test was going to be. 1. 20M shuttle run 2. 20M rushes (can be found on you tube) 3. 20M drag with 225lb (can be found on you tube) I work...

This whole process has gone by crazy fast. From online application to merit list, 2.5 months. I've applied for Materials Tech so selection won't happen until June 29. So aside from tomorrow's medical, I'm in a waiting stage. But that's fine. More time to get my fitness level up😃

I was just merit listed!! That's all. I ran out of people to tell so thought I'd let you all know. I will try not to be "that person" with a hundred questions already answered. I'm just going to work hard and enjoy the process. STOKED!!!!😄

I've done the FORCES test with my Husband (military man himself) and found it....enjoyable. There is the issue of keeping your hands behind the line when going into prone position from running. plus be sure your nails are cut short for the sandbag lift. I don't have long nails, but they were...
