    For those that are making fun of the training you see in the video, this is not actually "army training" this is armed forces entry training for all new members of the forces whether in army, navy, air force. Personal go on to more intense training depending on the trade they picked.

    The Canadians have always fought for freedom. Without much buzz, they never let down anyone in the World and other wars. Without any direct gains but Honor and keeping up the light of liberty. All the best from Greenland.

    for those that think this course is a cakewalk, it isn't. This and my BMQ Land were the 2 toughest courses, if you're not in peak physical condition it is brutal, I learned that the hard way. Your instructors instead of playfully punching your shoulder, will essentially make you're life a living hell. They want to weed out people, for example my course started off with 45 and we graduated with 18. BMQL was a different story we had 45 and lost 3 but 2 were due to injury, a broken leg and blown knee. It is important to have a good mindset and to never give up no matter how hard it gets. Once you're done you can look back and realize how far you've come and have a sense of accomplishment.

    ohDannyBoiii Yea the Canadian forces only have 68k troops all together and their training is pretty outdated even when they go to tech school for their specific job after their BMQ they still don't even get field training on those situations, it is also odd that they have a specific job to enlist for for being in the honor guard band. In the u.s you have to do basic combat training where you train as infantry then have to go to training for your MOS and honor guard band is extracurricular done by anybody in any MOS because it's voluntary and its temporary and not an actual job. I agree they need to have seperate basic training for seperate branches and not to keep comparing it to the u.s but here the navy recruits are trained how to take control of situations on a ship by simulations and field exercise even on how to take out fires on a ship or to get ready to fire on a target simply in basic training no matter what their job is same for air force, marines army and even the coast guard. But the air force and navy have started becoming more physically demanding but I get what you're saying. That's why here unless you had a certain MOS that is needed the army, Air force and navy won't let you re enlist if you're prior service with a different branch.

    Keep in mind this is only the basic training for all service members, including mail men, and office workers. It’s actually even easier now. But if you go a combat trade (mainly infantry, combat engineer, etc) your trade training will be twice as long. And it will be pretty old school. I know courses usually start with 42 people and will end with 21 or so.

    BMQ is only the first step in the Canadian military. The real challenge i soldier qualification SQ which varies from 2 weeks to 13 weeks. Everyone no matter your trade or branch dose SQ. Radio operators do 11 weeks SQ infantry do 13 weeks SQ.
    In the Canadian Military everyone is a soldier first and expected to fight, there trade is secondary. In the Canadian Military Supply Techs do all the jobs and are trained in all fields of supply tech. Where as in USA its separated training and jobs. So that means a Canadian Supply Tech is allot better trained than its American counter part. This applies to all fields of the CF this is what makes Canada one of the best trained Military's in the world. Now if only we had the funding to have the best equipment and lots of it.

      Still accurate, but the physica (EXPRES) test has changed. The push ups and sit ups have been taken out of the test and replaced with other activities.

    I think I'm gonna finish up what College I got left here, then move back to Newfoundland, join the Reserves, and finish my education at MUN as a Reservist. Since jobs in history are few and far between, I'll probably join the military afterwards anyways, which is one of the many reasons why I want to join the Reserves now.

    and for those of you prepping for BMQ, focus on lungs and legs. upper body is also important but having no lungs or legs will make a decent portion of BMQ difficult and distracting. i knew this with my family all being ex army at some point in the last 10 years. one thing i didnt do was swim before i left. get into the pool and do some swimming or if you cant, get some lessons. 50% of our platoon failed the swim test and thats not an exaggeration! best of luck

      This video is outdated now. BMQ is now 10 weeks not 14. I hear it’s going down to 8 weeks. I know that the pool has been closed for years. The force test is completely different now. Sand bag lifts, sand bag carries, etc. The standard has been lowered. Things that used to disqualify you from join, for example flat foot, have been lifted. I breezed through BMQ, but if you join a combat trade (with the exception of artillery, and armoured) know that the trade training lasts twice as long and it’s actually a living hell on earth.

    I just turned 24 this month and the path in front of me is unclear. I've had an interest in the military for a long time and think it could be for me after years of consideration.
    Currently I'm an unorganized, unfit, undisciplined person. It's my goal to get in much better shape and start following a strict regiment, upgrade my education to prove this is something I want, and enlist.
    If anyone has any advice for me on what to focus on, i'd really appreciate it. Merry Christmas everyone.

      back in 2010 when I went through St.Jean it was about $565 every 1st and 15th. considering you have all you can eat three meals per day and housing, its not bad. it gets better once you're stationed and qualified. some trades start making $5000 a month out the gate. do the math in the civvi world with student debt etc etc.
