So, if I were to join the reserves this summer (17 years of age), would I be doing weapons training like this during my BMQ?

[D1rtyDog]

@Kipperx34 No. SQ or DP1

[POTismedicine]

Hey ... if i sign up for Combat engineering, do they use the grenade?

[D1rtyDog]

@POTismedicine - Yes. You will be trained on the use of grenades during SQ (The course this video is taken from).

[MrBryce47]

@POTismedicine well in BMQ they train everyone to use grenades and guns

[D1rtyDog]

@MrBryce47 No they don't. No grenades or machine guns in basic.

Thats true dude.. my grandad was a conscript soldier in scottish army in korea, i want to do time in military for the experience, i feel like its where i should be after school, probably going to have to make a career out of it too since i'm shit at everything else.

I miss the good old days in the canadian armed forces. Thanks guys for keeping our country free. I am greatful for my freedom

[pxdfover]

@Haseeebo Haha maybe : P

[Haseeebo]

@pxdfover Nice, and good luck to you too! Maybe one day we'll see each other on some base, and not even know it haha.

[pxdfover]

@Haseeebo well good luck! i should do that too then, since i wanna go Infantry as well

[Haseeebo]

@pxdfover yeah I applied in May and they said it was too late for infantry because the spots are limited and competitive. I'm just going to have to try again next year, and I'll do it earlier!

[pxdfover]

@Haseeebo It takes 13 weeks to do your BMQ, then 12 or 14 weeks depending on your Occupation, May even be longer. But from what I know, they only do the BMQ in sessions, like theres a BMQ session starting Augest 23rd, then I don't know when its next up. Like you just cant go apply, be called the next day, and in a month or week start your BMQ. It takes time to process your Medical and Physical, then if they accept you, you have to wait until its time to start your BMQ.

1:41 is that Sgt Sideris?

3:37 is that Sgt Simser?

[Haseeebo]

@D1rtyDog Just curious. If I was to go down to the recruiting agency today (may 22nd), how long would it take to start Basic training? I want to be doing the advanced training by september, ideally.

Got any advice?

[ShadowDeathBl1tz]

In the CF during BMQ and BMOQ are recruits taught how to use sidearms such as pistols?

[walkertexasranger33]

@Kipperx34 on your SQ straight after basic depending if on when you finish bmq
