Hi there, I’m currently awaiting for my enrollment on July 21, and I depart for BMQ on August 16. Just wondering if I will receive a list of items I should bring with me, such as shoes/socks/boxers/shirts/pants etc. etc. Also do people in BMQ get paid to take the training? I know that the salary doesn’t begin until your contract starts, but I’m still unsure about these type of things, any other info, anything at all will also be helpful. Thanks

I am in the process of filling out my application as a non-commision regular force recruit. I have just recently turned 18 and I want to become a vehicle technician. I am wondering as to what my weekly schedule will look like. I understand that it is full time training but what exactly does that entail? Do I train on weekends as well? And if not I am allowed to leave the base during any days I may not be training? Anything you would recommend I do to help prepare myself for BMQ? and as soon as i am finished bmq do i begin SQ? thanks.

In response to Dianna,
I am currently finishing up my BMQ in St. Jean Quebec. There is not alot of free time. You are pretty much always busy doing something. You can have visitors come visit on the weekends but they cannot come up to your quarters. There is a computer lab to use in the bistro, but you will not be allowed there for a month. You can bring a cell phone but depending on your instructors, some platoons can keep them on them and use them at night, other platoons like mine are only allowed on weekends, during the week all electronics are locked up to keep us focused as there is more than enough to keep you busy like I mentioned earlier. Anyways have fun. Its very tough but rewarding.

Hi, thanks for much for this site, it is very very helpful.
I’m joining next month and plan to do my BMQ in Que. very soon, I’ve already
done the CFAT and everything. I was wondering what are the time alotments for
free time? Do we get enough time to go home, or are we pretty much stuck in QUE.
Can we have visitors? Also, is there a computer lab, or somewhere to use the computer
on spare time? and, can we bring a cellphone?
Thanks!
