Very , very true! I think we all feel the same!!

 

[Berenguei]

Yep...I'll be there also. Looking forward to it...will be hard though to be separated from my wife and kids.

Who will be there as infantry officers (to be !!!)

See ya,

 

[Lara80a]

I have a feeling that we will all be so busy with drills.....PT....shining boots we won't have time to miss anyone back home....it is only a few weeks out of our lives....plus when there we will all be your family team....see ya there.

Good point . Im sure some around week 3 , will start to become very home sick. I am use to being away from my parents and vise versa , but of course , im going to miss them very much. Plus , there are alot of young adults  ( around 18 ) that this is their first time away from home starting a new career , that of course is taken into consideration and should be as well with ' team mates '. Which also means for the older , wiser folk to have a little patience and let the staff sort them out Ha ha.

Also , it's maybe the first time away from Boyfriends , Girlfriends , Wives , Husbands and children.. which is very , very difficult.  One of the hardest parts of being on course.. atleast for my family it always was. It's hard to be away from the norm and the ones who love and support you , regardless of whoever says ' suck it up ' , this is not easy. In the first few weeks we are learning to develop those skills , some will have it harder then others .. and Lara is right when saying we have to become like a family and learn to support one another. Im agreeing with you Lara for myself really.. but there are some others that will need the strength we feel. ( Maybe I should have become a Padre , he he )

It's not a cake walk , as mentioned, it tends to teach younger adults the idea of having a career and growing up , in a sense it actually does make one into a ' man or woman '.

Im excited , and I think we are all feeling different emotions of excitement , being nervous , happy , sad , etc . I believe this is a life changing experience and we should all be proud of ourselves. I am excited for each week to pass and to soak up all this education. It's an amazing offer to have , we are all so lucky to be part of it! To gain friendships that are for life , to experience things we would never have a chance to in civi land.

G'luck guys , times a tickin'!!!

34 Days until I leave.

36 until it starts...

For what its worth, my best buddy in Cornwallis in '89 was a guy named Christ O'Brien, an Airframe Tech (at the time).  If I saw him today, I would give him the shirt off my back.  No questions asked.  Haven't talked to him since '92 when he meet me at the Edmonton airport after flying in for my jump course.

Life-long friends is what you will make (an' maybe some enemies too!  not everyone gets along).

Good luck to the works of you.  Welcome to the CF. 

 

[GazeeboUnit]

I am going to IAP august 28th. I arrive the 26th in St-Jean.  I would like to chat with others going to ST-Jean at the same time. So email me at deschampsn@hotmail.com 

 

[mechanic_chick]

Hey Folks!

Times a tickin' , going by fast. Im sure we are all still excited and pumped. As in the Thread ' August 21st ' .. people seem to have a closer bond with each other. Im not sure who from this week talks , but we should all get to know one another because most likley we WILL be in the same platoon.

As I stated in the Aug 21st Thread :

A little Birdie told me ...

The Anglo platoons number is : R0282E ( Get to know this number well.. )

I couldn't tell yah for Franco. But , there are only  TWO PLATOONS running this week. So folks... whoever is doin' BMQ / English , we will be in the same platoon. So there for , as the friendlies on Aug 21st , we should get to know each other.. ( Awww how cute ).

My name : Amy Christine Jesso
My Email , if you would like to chat : pink_typhoon@hotmail.com ( Yah yah , I made it when  I was like.. 15! )

My Outlook to how I see myself on BMQ :

Hopefully I soak up as much knowledge as possible. I hope to meet alot of interesting new people and hope to come out of it with alot of good friends. I hope that we all mesh together REALLY well and REALLY fast , for we have the power of knowledge folks.. and we know that if you clam together as a team quickly , you WILL be much happier. I hope that my team mates will help me with troubles I may have , and if anyone ever needs a hand to ask me and I would never have a problem. I'd give yah the shirt off my back if that means yah won't get in crap. I hope the bigger lads know theres tiny wee ones like myself who will probably be jumping / running with ones ruck just to keep up to their big ol' legs  And I hope that there are others their who have the enthusiasm and drive for this course. I hope to see alot of smiles , alot of hardships , alot of teamwork and alot of personal growth. 

Thats all I can say for that now.   

A Little Bit About Who I am :

Im a fiesty little firecracker who likes to work hard. I believe in good friendships and loyatly to those who are. I believe trust is important , especially with our choice of profession. And as Springroll said for herself , you break it once you're not getting it back. I am human , and there for in the mornings Im a grump puss , but after so many hours of sleep dep you WILL notice my East Coast accent come out and WOW is it  bad! I like being the person to make those laugh and see the lighter side in a rough situation.  And I also like when people confide in me , so if yah ever need to let 'er loose and talk when you are on course , and it really doesnt matter which week , and even if you dont know me.. come have a chat.  Im far from shy so if you don't come say Hi , I will.


Thats it folks.  It would be nice to  hear some backgrounds about yourselves as well if you wish to.

Good idea Spring , thanks!
