Bye guys!
 

So on Monday morning I finally got through to CFRC and got the word that I'd be leaving for BMQ...on the 3rd!
That's right guys, on the 1st I'm being sworn in to the Canadian Forces (RegF), on the 2nd, the movers come, and on the 3rd I go. Course starts on the 5th :D

Sweet Zombie Jesus I'm starting to get nervous now, mostly from the tedious waiting, but damn...
So yeah, hopefully with my iPod I'll still be able to browse the forums, but definately expect some gratuitous pictures while I'm gone!

Course completes on the 8th of August, and then...we'll see what happens from there ;)

Congrats man. :D

Just remember, the BB's in the army are a bit different... ;)

That's kinda funny. I thought you were in the forces all along. LOL

Well, giv'r hell.

Nice! If I had of got my secondary urine test (make sure my kidneys are alright or some shit) in sooner I probably would have been leaving at the same time as you.

I had 2 good friends leave for their BMQ on march 29th.. say hi for me lmao.

Oh ya and have fun!

The pull is always there for me. I want to, but...






...

Congrats Lerch, have fun and yes take plenty of piccies...

Silly Bugger......just look what you got yourself into........ :D

Best of luck, Ryan.... Learn well your lessons & listen to those who have gone before you....

See you in August.....

And now..... some Haggis style motivations for you.....

Thanks guys, now I can't stop worrying about being run down by some green cvnt eating paste http://airsoftcanada.com/images/smil..._confused2.gif

Congratz man. good luck with the forces and thank you for joining this fine military we have

Best of luck man!! Good on ya!

Cheers Lerch.

YouTube - Bye Lerch

Hey don,t worry you,ll do fine , take it from someone who did 9 1/2 in the regs.

All the best to you!! Walk in with the attitude that this will be a chance to prove yourself and a positive mindset. You'll do fine if you keep you eye on the prize and don't sweat the small stuff.

Enjoy your bed inpections with the ruler. lol

Good luck mate.

All the best, Lerch! Piece of advice I got from my LT friend when I applied for the forces (and was denied :( ): keep your feet as clean as possible to avoid unnecessary blisters.

Good luck, enjoy yourself and remember only 20 years till you can take your pension.

nice, congrats man! remember to call your hits!

Haha, phone the QuarterMaster and give him a heads up! No.... waaaayyyy up here dude!
And you may wanna keep that Toilet expertise quiet!
Happy camping.
Cheers

best of luck lerch! have fun blowin shit up!:D

I remember my first day of BMQ in St.Jean... everyone on the bus to the MEGA was all excited and we were all chatting it up and whatever... the second the facility came into view we all went dead silent as we collectively thought the same thought "What the hell did I just do?"

Having said that though, its SO MUCH FREAKIN FUN! For some, the adjustment period is longer than others but I assure you any weird feelings of adjusting to the BMQ lifestyle will be gone in 2 weeks tops.

Youll absolutely love it though... and when youre done youll have some of the greatest friends youve ever had.

Couple tips I have: teamwork (do EVERYTHING with your fireteam partner), communication (pass down all info, no matter how 'trivial'), follow orders (thats pretty self explanitory, really), and above all else, have fun.

But yeah as I said before, just have fun and have a sense of humor otherwise youll go insane.

Congrats! Takes a couragous person to take the step you did.

Good luck man!

Forge youself a strong moral and mindset, think about your goals and don't fall in the 'game' they'll play on you bud! Cheers!

Good luck with the real deal, Lerch!

Gratz and good luck, ill pray for you and your family. Take care bud

Good luck and come back safely!

I'll miss your funny contributions on ASC Lerch, play safe and do well.

Congrats Lerch, I spent a few months in St jean before getting released. Listen to your instructors, treat your fellow recruits like family, and above all else take care of your feet (if you have high arches get arch supports, vice versa for flat feet)

P.S. good luck and dont take it too seriously, its all part of a process

Good luck man!

I salute you.

I've been calling the CFRC all week to book my damn aptitude test. I have left about 5 messages and no replies yet. I just want to get the test over with! the rest is easy!

I'm going Primary Reserve. Maybe i'll see you Lerch, take'er easy man. Good luck.

when everyone is shooting,,,make sure you shoot in the same direction!! joking of course. wish you the best and give em hell. i have many a good memory from my bmt/gmt in dundurn sask. anyone who has completed basic training will tell you that the experience never leaves you. mmmmmmmmmm gas hut,,,,,

LOL.

- "Gas Gas Gas?"
- "Did you smell the gas or did you just assume it's there because i'm burning the pellets?"
- "I assumed, Seargent?"
- "Take off your masks, all of you."
- *wheeze* "Gas Gas Gas!" *cough*

Remember, it's all a game and all you can do is play it. Cheers and good luck at the MEGA, and make sure to enjoy St Catherine Street after indoc!

Make sure that you never let someone use your but to snipe off of lol.
