Posted: chaaban on Aug 18 | Canadian Military Training
I finally finished my Infantry Qualification Course (DP1 or PP1 in French) ,it was a very hard and very long summer for me , i shouldn’t call it summer since most of it was rain and cold weather .
I passed the 2 hardest months of my life doing the craziest thing i never did before ,
but at the end I’m proud and happy of what we did and would do it for sure again any time soon .
I wont discuss what we made in my Infantry Qualification since it was already discussed before :
Soldier Qualification & Infantry Qualification
in Few words we did :
* C-19 (The Claymore anti-personal Mine)
* Mortar 60 mm
* M-203 Grenade Launcher
* C7 (M-16 US version)
* A lot of Platoon Attack and Defence
* Ambush
* Raid
* Patrol
* Ruck Sack Forced March
* Field
If anyone have question about the PP1 (DP1) Course , just ask your question ,
i will make my best to answer it with what i know .
For Now you can the Video and Some Pics :
Our Great Vimy Camp In the Summer …

This weapon was with me during 2 months , 24/24 we passed looong nights together

This *&!@# is just nice to watch , very annoying to have during rucksack march and during wood patrol !!

Hey was just curious to know if anyone got injured or quit during the PP1?
we had few injuries but they dident quit , they got some break from pt & ruck sack march ..
the injuries occurred more during our SQ , i think more than 2-3 got a release for injuries …
Actually, only 2 privates had injuries. One of them finish the SQ course, and could not do the PP1. The other one, finish the SQ but was not qualified; however, he did not quit the CF.
hey! wats up! i was there too and it was awesome nive videos by the way and mcpl goulet is amazing he was my section cmdt in bmq
I can wait to start my training ! It good to read someone who did it !
Oh man, that bring so much memories. I remember shooting a mortar round that went berserk and we didn’t know were it would land… The sound of the rounds passing above your head is something you don’t forget either. I did my infantry training in 97… and went on to be an assault pioneer in the Royal 22nd Regiment
After you finish your training do you choose your regiment or are you placed. Any good tips for someone entering the infantry for the first time. Thanks John
Oh…in they video I here quebecers..yay…But where do we join for these trainings???
