Did reg force SQ in Meaford this past spring.. loved every minute of it.
Our days went something like this, you wake up, shave and be formed up for PT at 0510. Off you go for an hours worth of PT. Back to the shacks shortly after 0600, shower, form up to be marched over to breakie by the your marching NCO of the day. Eat at the same pace as him and when he is done you are done. Marched back, get ready for 0800 inspection. Get inspected then head off to classes. Full day of classes, you take breaks whenever your section staff need a smoke. 40 minutes at noon or thereabouts for lunch, marched to and from the mess hall once again by the platoon NCO of the day. Full afternoon of classes, off by quarter to five at the earliest, off to get chow for dinner then back to night routine. The staff plan out every minute of your night until rack out at 2300. Getting ready for inspection the next day, weapons cleaning, boot polishing - all planned out down to the minute, none of it done at your own leisure. Ever brushed your teeth the infantry way? Am sure if you ask the Sgt nicely he will even brush yours for you. The whole platoon polishes boots at the same time and if you stray from the leash you get a write up. It's a strange base by anyones standards and by the time you earn any priveledges back you are headed to the field anyways.
But it's a great course, you shoot PWT2, you do the Charlie six and the Charlie niner, toss grenades (no guarentees they will go off.. smile), 3 weeks in the field. No complaints.
It's tight timings and most of the instructors are old school combat arms dudios who are worn out from regiment life and take a 4 year posting to Meaford to get out of the deployment rotation. Most of them are there on IR..
Out.
