When do i do my physical fitness test?

[TYLERgibson]

Hey guys, i'm new to the whole posting on the forums thing, so don't chew me out right away. I was just wondering when i will complete my basic physical fitness test aka, shuttle run, 19 pushups, situps and he handgrip? I have my medical on the 19th of November, so will it be during then? Or is it done during the first day of bmq?

Thanks,
Tyler.

It depends if you are going through the recruiting process as a reservist or reg force.  For the reserves you do your PT test after the medical.  For reg force you do it at St. Jean at some point.  I'm sure someone else has more information about exactly when.

If you are going to basic at St.Jean you do your PT test the first and eighth week.

Why twice?

It's to show improvement from the 1st time you've done it. Also, why not? It's not a hard test, and it burns a PT period.

Why twice?

Because the Cmdt of CFLRS says so.  Keep it that simple.
