Soldier Qualification Achieved

Posted: chaaban on Jul 22 | Canadian Military Training

Few Weeks passed and i didn’t wrote anything on my blog … reason : Tooo tired when i come back from my army course to write …

The News :

I finally finished my Soldier Qualification Course last week and started The Basic Infantry Qualification course (click to enlarge) .

Certificate of military achivement - Soldier Qualification

The Second week of SQ was fun , we did the C6 (m-240) Shooting on Tuesday and The Grenade on Thursday , I didn’t like the C6 shooting , i enjoyed more the C9 (M-249) More accurate , but the c6 is more powerful .

Here is the Video of our Shooting :

The grenade was Super Cool , The Sound of the explosion was awesome , we launched 2 GRENADE (C-13)

C13 GRENADE

After that it was preparation to the Field , we took Some Courses related to Section Attacks and War Prisoners and Stress in Combat .

The QS 0730 Group before the Departure to the Field :

The Last week of our Soldier Qualification Course was the Harder , it was more a Miserable week that we passed , at sometime 10 soldiers wanted to leave (We are 30), they even packed and some of them left other changed mind when the warrant spoke to them …

We passed 5 days there in the field , 4 / 5 days it was raining on us , the worse : we weren’t prepared enough for the field , we didnt took enough cloth , so we all our combat cloth were wet , our boots were full of water and it was very cold during the night , it was more like a nightmare .

We only slept 2 hrs during those 5 days , i don’t know how we did it , usually if i stay 1 day without sleep i cant support it , but there we did …

The Field was like a war zone , we had to dig a lot of trenches and stay in them 24/24 because “enemies” were attacking and we were supposed to defend the zone .

Here are some pictures of our Trench’s :

The only nice day we had is when we played with Pyrothecnics , the weather was super nice (only day) …

In The Last day we had to close all trenches that we dug (more than 10) we passed 4 days digging and at the end we had to close them :) how nice

We were proud of our self , we survived lol the only thing we wanted is to go back home and Sleeeeeeeeeeep , we had a little parade for the SQ Graduation , the Major came and spoke … then the Lieutenant gave us the Certificate and told us to prepare for the Basic Infantry Qualification Course .

I will speak about it later since i already finished 1 week of it :) and i can tell you SQ was a game , BIQ is totally different much much harder , the week we passed was longer than the 3 weeks of the SQ course …

Will speak about it later ;)

    Hey the “Pouffe” , if you think few pictures of guns and some videos of Pyrotechnics compromise the security of the army i can tell that you watch a lot of movies and that the media is doing a good job !

    Start by fearing your own security , just having minimum info about you ..i got your picture and most info about you so now you are at risk !! MUHAHAHA

    i know you are from The Royal Montreal Regiment , 20 years old , approximately 170-175 cm , … man i even have your dog tag … you are also a shy guy that’s why you don’t have a girlfriend , you are only good at chatting since there is no face-to-face conversations in other words you are a fake guy .

    Enough for today … so my advice for you start minding of your own security ;)
