I know that a few of them are actually doing pre-deployment training as we speak that still did not get their SQ. Most of the new QL3 students that started yesterday were talking about that in the smoke pit this morning, when they would get their SQ fit into their training. I am only quoting a rumor here, but I hear through the grapevine that SQ is being taken out of the training system, and the field training portion of BMQ was to be lengthened to include the basics of what SQ taught. Remember, I said this is only a rumor that I heard through the grapevine.
George Wallace said:Heard no such rumours. As far as I know, no one can progress on a Career Crse without completing BMQ and SQ. Next we'll hear rumours of people being loaded on Career Crses without passing their Medicals at CFRCs.
kawigirl said:I was also wondering since I am so new to the CF and no question is a dumb question (right!), is the black uniform an everyday wear or just for doing "ride alongs". On base here I have seen both the CADPAT and the black uniform....
bdcasey916 said:No, that Civilian On-Car uniform is also worn after JIBC when you are doing your yearly MCSP at your home unit. No matter where you are in the country, emerg care is part of your MCSP package and you will be going on car, hence the creation of the on-car uniform
MedTech32 said:Don't know how it'll play out wearing the belt when at a Unit though (Not an issue at mine). You'd have to check once getting posted, or ask if you know someone who's at one of the Field Ambs you'd be going to.
St. Micheals Medical Team said:Great idea while working on-car.
Wear it around unit lines afterward, and be prepared to be called a loser.
MedTech32 said:What I meant was that there was nobody in BC to tell us "No, do not wear that, it isn't issued". As opposed to on base at a field unit (Where I'm sure there are lots of people to tell a no hook private).
