Current BMQ swipe system

[Sands111]

Are their any CFLRS instructors here that can explain the swipe system on BMQ. Is there a maximum number if swipes before you are automatically removed from course? Is there any grace at the beginning (first few weeks), when it’s all new & still learning?
Thank you

Good day. I’m not an instructor but my GF’s son just finished the course.
You get 3 weeks to sort yourself out and then the remainder of the course you are on the clock, 6 swipes and you are subject to a formal review board. But don’t worry about it because you’ll be given plenty of warning that you have earned a swipe and be given an opportunity to correct the error. DM me and I’ll put you in contact with the recruit who just graduated.

It actually sounds like it hasn't changed that much in the last 15 years. 6 bad swipes and you were recoursed, and good swipes are a thing but they don't cancel out the bad ones.

Could someone explain to me why the term "Swipe" is used?

Because the recruits have a card that is swiped through a card reader to record counseling.

It's the exacta card, that you swipe for meals, you swipe to record your ins and outs of the mega.

I completed my GMT with the FN, a month or two before the C7 arrived at my unit.

Hi again! Do you know (or your gf son) if you get swiped for failing tests too?

Tks!

You’ll get a rewrite and then a review board before you get a swipe.
The test are very straightforward, ensure you make time to study and you’ll be fine.
