Battle School eh? Well its no longer known as that. As a result of Soldier Qualifications, BS was turned into 2 courses for those of us going Infantry.
Anywho, as far as some of your questions go, hehe. There is plenty of field work - more so in the SQ.
Field ex's for SQ consist of your basic dismounted Offensive and Defensive Ops, and tactical ops. You'll have fun digging trenches in Meaford's lovely hard clay. You'll have oodles of fun lugging around your pioneer kit and moving kit in the middle of the nights because someone higher up called "pull pull!". The truth is, there is sufficient amounts in the SQ to familiarize yourself with the C6/C9 and Grenades, plus basic field operations. It's a bit hard to answer some of your questions though, since the best answer I have sounds entirely like buearucractic BS. For SQ, the time in field and class are proportionate to the material you are learning. Everything is very streamlined, believe me. For every week we completed we wrote a critique on it as a course, and at the end we had a course critique involving the CO.
As for being in "fulll kit." hehe, you're almost always in full kit here in Meaford. Going to weapons class? Full Fighting Order. Going to the Dreary building? FFO... You'll learn to love your Frag vest, heh.
As for a Live fire excercise, that wont happen until your near the end of the BIQ. SQ does plenty of section attacks with blanks, and even one platoon level section attack, but not with live rounds. Remember SQ is simply to familiarize soon-to-be-soldiers with the various weapon systems covered by the course.
My only advice is to simply focus on your course now. What is to come for you, will come in time. Chances are you'll have your hands full enough with basic.
