BMQ Regular Force 2005 - 2017 [Merged]

I would like to ask people who have already completed BMQ some questions, my BMQ starts August 8th and i know there are lots of threads talking about what kind of person to be and what not but i want to know about any tips and tricks that BMQ grads wish they had known before they went, i want to be as prepared as possible.

So my official question; What are things that you wish you had known, or things you wish you would have brought/packed to BMQ before leaving? (aside from the fitness needs, i read up on those and am working out and running). [:D

I will be flying in from Regina, Saskatchewan. Wish I could drive, but I didn't get the option.
call and ask your file manager, usually they limit your daily mileage or limit your hours of driving before a extended rest period
 
Might be a tad quiet for our first week, 1 BMOQ and 2 BMQ leaving the 25th and 3 BMOQ the week before that.
 
Congratulations to us all !
This is going to be an exciting and rewarding experience !

Leaving from Toronto, anyone else?

Feel free to PM and meet up at Pearson.

Cheers !
 
Congrats everyone! I signed up on this site just to respond to this topic.

I will also be joining you all. I will be flying out of Toronto on July 30th. My recruiting centre is Hamilton.

I am joining as an armoured solider - could not be more excited!

Feel free to pm me or shoot me an email to meet at the airport!!
 
Congratulations everyone!!

I swear in on the 20th in Hamilton, I'm sure I will see some of you guys there. I will be flying out of Toronto as well. I'll definitely send a PM to meet up at Pearson.

Take care,

Hey! Not me, i'll be leaving from Toronto.

I'm curious about what everyone else is doing training-wise at this point too? I've been working on my push ups, they're definitely my weakest point still, so i've been working with free weights and doing planks too, to try to build up more strength in my upper body and core. Need to really work on that more though because my push ups are still bad. Also going for runs or hikes most days, and swimming at the community centre for a few hours once or twice a week.

I'm going to start shopping for/organizing everything I need for my kit list (that we need to bring ourselves) next week, too. Excited about that :)

So what have you guys been doing? Have any of you gone for your enrollment ceremony yet?
