What happens if you fail BMQ?

[BMFG]

Being a reservist for  2 years i have never seen anyone fail a course.I am just curious joining regs.what the failure rate is,if you have a chance to correct your failure and what the majority of people fail for.I am not worried about failure but being 30 yrs of age having to take basic all over again does raise some concerns that if i get a small injury if i can keep up to the younger kids lol.

Lots of people fail basic training. IIRC my bmq course started off with about 62 people and ended up graduating around 40. People fail for different reasons. Some people are re-coursed to attempt it again, others are released from the military. I am a reservist but my bmq was about half reservists and half reg force - from all 3 elements. Good luck on your course.

The failure rate varies from course to course. Some also VR due to things happening outside of the CF.

Don't get hung up on this and do your best on course.

If a recruit were to suffer an injury, how does it play out from there? Do you return home, heal up, then return within a specified time and based on a doctor's O.K.?
Curious...about four years back I worked with a girl who broke her arm during Basic Training. She was, consequently, sent home. I recall her filling out her application a second time (at least I suspect, as she was going through her references and the like). I also recall her and the CF playing a lot of "phone tag" at work, but I don't believe she ever did get back in.
Is this usual - a recruit is injured, sent home, and never returns? I'm just wondering if it's up to the discretion of the CF if you return, or if it's up to the recruit. I know she darn well wanted back in, though...that's for sure.

Am I missing something here?  If you are from Toronto, as you have stated here how can you be a reservist, and RCR at the same time.....I smell something fishy....What reserve regiment you in now?

I could be way off base here, but perhaps 4 RCR is a Reserve Bn?  I know there used to be (could still be) a 4 R 22 R, I know a guy who as attached posted to our Sqn from it back in the early 90's...

Yes it is- but as mentioned, 4RCR is in London, not Toronto.

There is a 4 R22R, a 6 R22R but there is no 5 R22R (cause the unit targetted to become "it" told em to go to hell when they were told they would lose their real name)

ok... end of sidetrack

Ooops, I missed some of the earlier posts...duh.  My bad.

I just want to know if you fail it, do you have an option of starting it over again to redo it. Or are you denied to join the military for life?

But I am wondering, does getting released from CF, mean that you will never be able to join the forces in your life even if you reapply?

Failing will give you more more free time; we won't have to wait four months between repetitive questions

It depends on your specifics. Ask the Recruiting Centre.
