Those of us attending BMOQ in August 2008...(that were supposed to start in May) ... -or most of us- are posted at detachments or CFRC's. The 3X OPME's required... are all due before departure to St. Jean as the OPME's and your training schedual (to get in shape) is/are the most important to complete.
-if that makes any sense
I'll be there too...

I'll be there in August also, haven't been told a date yet though. Currently there are 9 of us doing summer work through CFRC winnipeg, working on opme's and pt. There's another that will be with us, but he is doing OJT currently.

I think I may be in the wrong thread. From what I understand BMOQ is a different course than the IAP/BOTC. Just for the record, I'm a DEO who begins training August 18th. I have no previous military experience, but was told by my recruiter that I'll likely be training with other DEO's and "continuing education" (?) military personnel.
Either way, I'm looking forward to meeting you all.

And there is one of me at CFRC Vancouver... where is the love from the west coast? By the way how's everyone's OPME coming along? In our military history class only 12 out of 26 people handed in the first essay on time (operations come first, of course)...

All officers do them at some point in their career. If you are not doing them now, you will be doing them later.

Just a kindly reminder make sure your pt standards are up to par.
I know alot of people get there and are just not prepaired as they think. I probably would of fallen in this category if I didn't have the oppurtunity for pat plattoon before basic.
Some decent goals to set:
30+ pushups (proper form) with no rest in less then a minute. Learn proper form as you might get a test and actually do 50, but they only counted 20 because of bad form.
30+ situps (proper form) in less then a min, alowd to stop but time keeps ticking.
2.4km(1.5m) in less then 12 min. There are alot of people who may be able to do this on a threadmill, but when they hit the gravel they are nowhere near the timing (I was one of these). Threadmills are great, but remember its not the same as running a track.
40 min straight jogging/running with no stopping, and walking only for cooldown after 40 min. This is a good one to do on the threadmill. set your pace 15 min/mile is a good low end, but you would like to be at least a 10 min/mile before basic. The important thing here is steady speed for the full 40 min, no increases or decreases. You'll know when your getting better when it starts to seem too slow.
Now this is not following the standards set or expected for most, but if you train to exceed, you will suceed.
Falling behind in pt on basic will cause you to fall behind in everything.
