Anyone hear any dates yet for Summer BMQ/SQ at Meaford? (Artillery Reserves)

[tannerthehammer]

wondering if anyone has heard any dates yet or how I can find out the exact dates?

Well i am new on these boards and to the whole recruitment stuff, i have just started talking to a recruiter but he told me that i would be most likely taking basic training in meaford and it will probably around around july 1st, he thought July 3nd to be exact. Thats just what he said.

BMQ for all land trades at meaford is at the same time.

Starts on July 4 (Monday)
Ends on July 29 (Friday)
Weekend off
SQ starts on Aug 1 (Monday)
SQ ends on Aug ** (can't remember)

 

[tannerthehammer]

Well actually July 27th is a Wednesday and there is no way that BMQ is only 4-5 weeks long, further more BMQ/SQ is 10 weeks long to my knowledge so your dates posted would not be correct...Where did you get this information???

sorry, I meant the 29th, my calendar switched back to may

and the BMQ is 10 weeks..... for the regs, not the reserves.

I got this information from the recruiter at 23 SVC BN in hamilton, WO Lavoie, and he read it to me from the schedule that he was given, so if you have issue with that, tough.

Pretty close, but no cigar.  BMQ 4 July 05- 23 July, SQ 25 July-16 Aug, SG 05 17 Aug-27.

Sorry troops, N Weekends off.  You're working Saturdays.

thanks Love, for the correction, I knew it was in there somewhere, but I thought the BMQ was till the 29th, ah well.

Where did you get your information?

LFCATC  ARC Crse Calender.

Do you have a link for that?

Hmmm...I read on the forces.gc.ca that BMQ for Reserves was 04JULY - 28AUG

Am i wrong?  I know for sure it said RESERVE and not REG.

It's on the LFCATC DIN site, so unless you have a DWAN Account, you're going to get it through the chain.

That isn't just BMQ, it includes SQ and the 8 day long ex in Petawawa that everyone taking a summer course will be going on.  If you look at how long the weekend BMQ is, it works out to pretty much the same amount of time.....10 course weekends, 20 full day & 10 evenings (the Friday evening). Then SQ immediately after BMQ.

Have fun!

Welcome to the Army.

Trust me on this young grasshopper, as of 17 0800 Aug 05, you will not be in Meaford but on your way to CFB Petawawa.  BMQ is 20 trg days long, followed by a 20 trg day SQ crse, followed by Ex Stalwart Guardian 05.
