[TJkiwiOWEG]

disgusting...I'm going to vomit.

[zxcvbnmasdfghjklq212]

im leaveing 5 years 3 weeks 3 days

[aahsidhi]

omg dumont i am so embarrased for you.

[jfhallman]

Dumont, Counseling! Thats your "talking too"!

[jasonf61]

Wow, where to begin. Not only is Pte. Dumont responding while being spoken to she also neglects to use the proper rank. She talks, moves here head, displays appalling attitude (especially for being in week 6), tosses stuff around in a fit. I'm surprised the PO didn't go up one side and down the other harder than he did.

[NoDestinyLive4Now]

I want to slap Dumont. She acts like a child.

[HatakeStrife]

I think joining the US Army is easier..........NOW the US MARINE CORPS is harder to join........and even harder is getting into the CF.

[asre2001]

@HatakeStrife A CF member in the army gets as much weapons training as someone in the "green beret"

[AustinA2000]

Is this what reserve training like?

[saintrobbie375]

6:38 - This is the definition of getting "Jacked Up" by an instructor.

7:17 - 7:32 - Text book definition on how not to react to getting "jacked up"

7:33 - Result of not reacting properly to getting "jacked up"....resulting in more "jacking up".....

[slickmoves1977]

I wish my DS at fort knox where this nice

[saintrobbie375]

@GIDAN2987 That's only one guy you see doing 13, notice the other guy banged out 25 no problem

[ImonYTehh]

@GIDAN2987 It's all for the camera... although 13 push is rather pathetic :P. Like iceland2121 said, CF training is on par with the US Marine Corps. Yours might actually be more lax, no offense :)

[stnewton09]

@ImonYTehh Then how come CF couldn't do anything right in the sandbox? We had a prior CF guy at Infantry School who couldn't landnav his way out of a bathroom, couldn't react to contact from any direction except the front, and he'd been CF Infantry for SIX years...

[saintrobbie375]

@stnewton09 You're basing your opinion of the Canadian Forces based on one member you knew personally?

[ransid55]

Why are their berets not formed.

[alexis8968]

ok thank you and I will enroll me in the canadian forces next year!

[alexis8968]

can i have basic up in french?

[CanadianArmyNews]

@alexis8968 Yes. You can watch them on our French channel, NouvellesdelArmeeCdn. The French version of Basic Up is called Forces du Futur.

[glock1832]

@alexis8968 oui



[brownkv081]

@GIDAN2987 I remember when I came on youtube and made up stories about how many pushups I did.

[ackersbr]

@GIDAN2987 Even more crazy how our forces are just as skilled

[bobisnohere1]

some of these miltary leaders are insecure cry boys who are egomaniacs

[lucarox123]

Is this just for infantry soldiers or for everyone in the military.

[CanadianArmyNews]

@lucarox123 This is the basic training that all members of the CF undergo.

[Preemachine]

@lucarox123 all personell

[TheLloyd475]

@lucarox123 Its only for infantry.

[navyocs]

I amjust flabbergasted at the way they deal with private dumont. If my drill instructors had come across a disgusting recruit like that, my Senior DI would have applied pressure on her skull causing it to collapse ending her life functions, that is after he It'd her and the rest of the platoon. And why is Navy personnel training Army recruits?

Nothing against canada.

[MapleBalls]

@navyocs BMQ Is Only Step 1.

[MapleBalls]

@navyocs It Is Funny Though.

[CraftLulz]

lol canadian army....

that's so cute!

[OceanRide1]

What! Your recruits are given quasi-private quarters!? Lucky.....

[CamelCigarettePack]

Is it a navy thing to lean on walls like PO Robinson? It doesn't look very professional; with that being said I can't imagine units sending their finest to the schools..

[Hugomtl]

Where can I watch it in french !??! :S

[CanadianArmyNews]

@Hugomtl We have a French series called Forces du Futur. You can view our French material on the "Nouvelles de l'Armée Cdn" YouTube channel.

[65016792]

LOOOOL " I AM NOT A FRIKEN MASTER CORPORAL" LOOOOOOOL

[conshow1]

still pumping it up in week 6, jesus.

[Kavarz]

That is how you break a troop folks.

[Yumyumtuna]

- if having hair and/or earrings is impractical (wich it is if you're to fighting a war), it doesn't matter what parts you have down south - if an enemy gets the jump on you because you were brushing the hair out of your eyes, or untangling your earring from whatever, he's not going to care if you have breasts or not.. you're going to have 50% of your head filling decorated on the wall behind you. If a recruit has an issue with it, they're not suited for combat, next candidate.

[Yumyumtuna]

Personally, I find it offensive that women aren't required to perform equally to men in the military. I don't care if a male is geneticly (spellcheck?) superior to a female, if a female is going to serve beside a male, and said male NEEDS to be able to count on said soldier (in this case the female) to hike his bullet-riddled body out of a situation for medical attention.. I don't wanna hear "but I passed the physical exams with flying colours!!". Same with the hair/jewelery situation -

[arushbhai]

This is how training and inspection should be, now its real talk. In the previous episodes, i felt that the army was easy on the recruits, now theyr showing them whose their daddy. thats why these little recruits are freaking out and crying. good job canadian military

[dhmancam]

If I talked back during my inspection all hell would of broke loose, i think there lucky for having cameras around...

[abcGoGetter]

Props to Dumant, lol i love pumps.

[MrMobbydick12]

im joining the forces im already in cadets

[PuckSlapper83]

haha im only 15 and i can do more pushups than that guy! Also ive been thinking a lot on joining the military. Any words of advice?

[Search4Goods10]

@PuckSlapper83 if your positive and willing to put up with the shit they go through, then you'll fit right in haha try it, if you dont like it, then atleast you tried it

[irish420Hitman]

Everybody can when there young, thats the point, when I was 13 you couldn't stop me, push ups (clap), chin ups, sit ups, I could damn near go for ever, I'v never got to a number in which I had to stop (and I'v bin up in the 200 range)

But now, at 19 years old you'll be lucky to get 25 out of me. If you have it, you have to work to keep it, and if you lose it, you'll have to work 10x as hard to get it back

[xXCutePuppy666Xx]

@PuckSlapper83 my cousin said , just to be prepared . its good you can do pushups , just helping yourself , my cousin told me ( im also joining ) run , run ,run and everytime you get to work out because it just helps you

[originalbeastchick]

How come they aren't screaming at that recruit? Aren't they supposed to be like right up in their faces? They went really easy on her.

[kidkappa04]

@originalbeastchick this is a very very tame version of the real thing...if they televised the real training they would scare to many people off.

[originalbeastchick]

@kidkappa04 oh I see

[Search4Goods10]

@kidkappa04 guarenteed PO Robinson has his boot up more peoples ass then what is shown lmao

[toxicpickle]

i love the long pause after the foot powder is found in the boot, total loss for words.

[video09sj]

6:40 what is te name of the blond queen the argue with po robinson she is so beauthiful

[maximinimal]

Are you f-ing kidding me? Talk to drill sergeants in the US that way and see how it works out for you! Unbelievable.

[xXCutePuppy666Xx]

@maximinimal this is a very very tame version of the real thing...if they televised the real training they would scare to many people off.

[skyfleet174]

i love the guy at 7.00

[Rucifel17]

I AM NOT A FREAKING MASTER CORPORAL LOLOL !!!

[keracked]

HEY! if ur looking into the army i recommend using P90X fitness program prior to joining, after 1 month i increased my push-ups up to 80 from 25, n shaved 13% body fat off my body.....and u wont be tired after only 13 push-ups :P

[Dustiferr]

@keracked p90x is insane...I always hated ploymetrics...

[pirson28]

@Dustiferr Haha it's tough.

[Shazee083]

@keracked what is the P90X

i though P90 its an firearm

[powes1]

man i dont know how people cant even do 10 push ups... 10 push ups should just be natural from work you do i everyday life... I am so glad 16 year olds that have graduated grade 10 are aloud to be in the reserves... Hopefully the reserves give me the military life to keep my satisfied until i get to go Reg Force once i graduate highschool

[cHeEzMaN1]

lol dumont deserves her own spin off series!

[fanmanabc]

13 and he needs to catch his breath? o.0

[ledeux]

@fanmanabc on week 6 wow... I do on my training test I was able to do 30 push up and I don't find this too much.

[tdenterprise]

that girl that was crying can't handle it.

[IIB20VTEC]

Shes pushing it waaaay too much, I'd lace into her constantly.

[gfunkel200]

I already have a bachelor of arts degree, but want to get a bachelor of science, will the cf subsidize my education?

[cutthatcity]

@gfunkel200

I'm not in the cf but I'm thinking of joining. I think you have to sign a 9 year contract and you have to do something in the military relating to that field. But I'm not in the cf so you'd have to ask a recruiter.

[CrazeKillen]

@gfunkel200 you have to do a number of years in the service after you have finished your military school but yes, through the ROTC program, they will pay for your education

[sixcorpse07]

how many push ups are required? in the u.s. it is around 50.

[9thaccount]

@sixcorpse07 19 push ups

[CanadianArmyNews]

@sixcorpse07

It varies based on age and gender:

- Under 35 years of age 19 (Men) 9 (Women)

- 35 years of age and over 14 (Men)  7 (Women)

[lucarox123]

@CanadianArmyNews Is this just for infantry soldiers or for everyone in the military.

[CanadianArmyNews]

@lucarox123 All who join the military must complete basic training.

[Paladin1441]

@CanadianArmyNews is that all? in the American Army you have to do 42 in order to pass a PT test, I'm surprised at that, You guys train well but i'm surprised to hear that.

[Nucleo85Torino]

half empty canteen TSK TSK.....ah the Memories.

[Nucleo85Torino]

AAHHHH Memories!, nothing better then seeing new recruits get yelled at!. They are SO GREEN!>

[swatced911]

Cela dépend si tu veux t'enrôler dans la force de la Régulière ou bien dans la Réserve... La réserve le cours de métier la plus part du temps se fait l'été. Pour la Régulière il y a des cours à longeur d'année. Tout dépend du groupe sur lequel tu tombes.

[vDubrivation]

*There ARE other people getting inspected.

What a noob.

[mrsmithdude]

"They sell towels at HQ ? " hahahhahaha

[trav10854]

9:46 that's not a military pushup!

[falco6789]

i saw PO Robinson once at one ove my old school's i went to.

[drfye]

I think that most of these videos have been edited to such a degree that most of the swearing, yelling and so forth are not shown, so this would be a toned down verison of what BMQ is really like because of the filming being done, so this, i would think, is more of an outline to look at then the actual experience. that is my own assumption at any rate.

[BRADM69]

I'm kinda surprised that po was leaning against the wall.. then again, i guess that's the difference between a po2 and a sergeant. haha

[todadog]

@BRADM69

there is no different between a PO2 and a Sgt they r the excact same rank, except ones navy the others army

[AzNinHD]

@BRADM69 ...... Petty Officer 2nd Class and Sergeant are the same thing... they are equivalents...

Navy = Petty Officer 2nd Class

Army = Sergeant

[RedFenril]

@AzNinHD

You still got to address them the right way. That PO2 was right on her case and believe me, I would've done the same way if I was her PO.

[VivaLaVida332]

@BRADM69 Yea that po2 is supposed to teach these recruits but he is showing bad habits already! haha what a joke

[Fatalize222]

I thought navy instructors we're supposed to have a black shirt and a black slip on epaulet/name tag Besides the cap badge, I'd probably call that PO2 a Sergeant... Not a master corporal though(laugh)

[warriorslo]

NOT A MASTER CORPORAL!!!! D:<

[critcallydamped]

lol, indeed

[dudelidude]

"E-bout turn! E-bout turn!"

[poopnscoop432]

you mean about turn?

[adammackenzie]

make sure u watch the full series !

[janusdp]

Last I checked, members were allowed to wear jewelry as symbols of religious faith (i.e. a small cross beneath the uniform.)

Is this something new? (Did my basic in 1997.)

[poopnscoop432]

@janusdp

We're allowed to...

[Ryanbenedict2007]

yes,

In the navy, a Petty Officer 2nd class and Petty Officer first class are both above Master Corporal.

[iamtheender]

I went to Highschool with Weremko's little sister.

They both look alike.

[courtsm3]

how often do NCO courses start at CFLRS?

[Hedden0809]

Is PO rank higher than Master Corporal?

[canucksnation]

tsk tsk tsk....

best advice I'll give to any new recruit,

DO NOT TALK BACK

[Rhaabjorn]

only if its a question?

Do you ever get asked rhetorical questions?

[Shazee083]

@canucksnation got yea

[noelle82]

My favorite PO Robenson quote vs a recruit with his name. " Private Robenson? No way your related to me. You look like the result of 100 years of cousin lovin."

[argo84]

@noelle82 PO Robinson reminds me of John Candy doing a PO impression!

[noelle82]

LOL... same MC and PO as when I was there in 2000. I loved listening to PO robenson rip into the retards and the MC used to talk like Mr bean. " what is dis? Is dis a pokimon in your barro?" If you work hard basic training is fun and you will remember it for life. oh and if you like stairs you will want to be on the top floor like I was.

[ninjanerd8]

That's a bit too insane and kind of barbaric.

[acoustic905]

yeah i agree with ricarddog. I was let down when i saw this. Isnt the army supposed to train you to kill. How are they supposed to make you hard if they treat you this nice. USMC is how they should train us!

[somedude221]

They can't show you the really hard stuff. Canadian Army trains just as hard as any other army, but they're not allowed to show you the "Full Metal Jacket" stuff because this has to go on television, and it wouldn't make it past the censors.

[todadog]

@somedude221

no it all depends on your instructors, some of them do curse and swear constantly like in FMJ but some of them only yell when its needed. in my training the PO incharge of my section was a nice guy who hardly ever yelled, (but when he did then... well ya... i'd rather deal with PO Robinson)

[fezaz1]

@somedude221 just think of all the swearing =O

[iceland2121]

All Canadian Forces go through training at the same level as the U.S. Marine Corps. This is a televised program so it had to be kept clean or well edited.

[WOODSLD80]

@iceland2121 Ill believe that when I see it.

[xXCutePuppy666Xx]

@iceland2121 its proven the canadian force has better training then the marines :) ( im talking bout overall)

[kandiapple1971]

Im currently in basic right now, in week 7... it's amazing to be at CFRLS in St.jean. Great guys and great staff.

Holland Pl.

R0213E

B Coy

[RichardDdog]

i agree that the BMQ needs to be much tougher...its a little too soft

[yaknowurright]

CanadianArmyNews, how could the wait be to start BMQ and why?

[53murphy53]

that was one pissed PO

[RichardDdog]

...

[nezzy14]

Basic is mandatory for all forces right? (air force)

[Darksightt]

I love that P.O this guy rocks!

[Zigadenus69]

Does anyone know if a recruit can wear contact lenses for training?

[Giggles154242]

I most certainly did during my BMQ. However, on your field ex, I would wear your glasses as you probably won't have sufficient time, space, or sanitation to wear lenses. Good luck!

[nisaac86]

yes. That's all I wear.

[EhWilder]

I know you need to have glasses with you, you cant wear contacts after going into the gas hut, so definitely bring some glasses.

[kypat555]

This is kinda funny reminds me of my days in St. Jean an soon after I learned YOU NEVER "JACK" A NEW RECRUIT LEANING ON THE WALL WITH YOU'RE HAND ON YOU'RE HIP omg what a good example good Job PO an he is wrong about the ring you are allowed to wear a ring if its a engineer's ring get it together people........

[daibhidh708]

You know a lot of recruits who wear engineer's rings? They're on their BMQ! The only jewelry they are allowed to wear is a wedding band and a medic alert bracelet. When they graduate and if they become engineers THEN they can wear the engineer ring. Get it together, troop.

[youngmerk11]

no hes right about the ring... what recruit wud have an engineers ring?

[JredLapeair]

some in the reserves do

[fletcherwilloughby]

This is cool. I used to work for PO2 Robinson!

[alexpaul12]

longest run we had was around 8 km in 50 minutes.

[GHOST1886]

looking at those training is just awsome i cant wait to get my tour of duty i have this dream since like 8.summer 2009 i am getting in... i wonder if reserve is the same training? or is it like a delay programe before u get 18 for basic training programme because army is like the best other jobs are not in my intrest that why i cant wait so if u could answer to my question about the reserve it would be awsome thanks sir!

[GhilliedGhost]

bmq for reserve is 11 weekends atleast for me and i have my sq and dp1 this summer i believe they are 4 weeks each straight. im gonna go reg force once im done high school and ill prob have to do it all over again but o well jacked up times 2 please

[nineohfive]

you wont have to provided you have enough class b days, real quick

[area51er6]

the higher week recruits can actually train the week 1's and 2's?

[Mattman4698]

"We're gonna to talk right freaking now Dumont!"

LOL Best episode ever!

[IroncladPlace]

Hw long is the longest run that they have to run??

[owen402005]

An excellent show. If only I knew these episodes were here on Youtube I would have saved a few hours and bandwidth, instead I downloaded them from the website :P I guess it's good to have them saved anyway. I was just wondering if there are any plans for a second season or a followup?

[nokinja]

Thanks for the response!

Can you confirm if there is a specific style of watch which is allowed/disallowed?

[nokinja]

How come they said you cannot wear a watch when in episode one they say you can?
