If you have any questions feel free to type them into the comments and I’ll try my best to answer.
Glad to see some CQB in the training. Thank you for uploading this! God bless you.
God bless you as well
this is great, I am begging you from a perspective of someone who is on the fringe of joining keep making these vids, they rly help showcase a better chapter in the Canadian army (actually fit soldiers) than we are used to seeing.
dont do it
Do not do it. Get into a trade
@@kD_5555_ im going to basic in 3 weeks. Tell me why u think its a bad idea? 😮
@Tribuneoftheplebs all depends on what you want from life, and what you're going in the caf for?
@@Tribuneoftheplebs my good friend was born and bred for the military, very active, has been body building since 14-15ish, joined soons he got out of high school and me and all his friends knew since young that boy was joining that military and there wasn't much that was gonna change his mind, told me he hates everyday of it and its miserable, of course he likes some bits like this shit and the other fun parts, but for the majority of shit and espically for the pay and everything, he said if he had his time back he'd get a trade but he's already 2 feet deep into CAF so theres no point to turn around now he might as well stay in, but aye up to you, some people want a job experience that doesn't feel like a 9-5, I was gonna join to and was looking into it heavily, was gonna start working out, i already dropped 100 pounds in the last year and I'm at a weight now, but I'm going to become a pipefitter
I'm starting BMQ in September, and my enrollment ceremony is in a few days. Cant wait to get out there, no matter how hellish it gets
Exiting, what trade ?
@@GoProuser44 Vehicle Technician, you?
Just finished my BMOQ a good advice make sure you have a good pair of boots that actually breathe and go by merino wool socks they really help
In my experience at basic the issued boots did just fine until I started my DP1. No need to buy boots. I got away with just getting insoles.
First video I’ve seen a video of the caf where everyone is in shape in years.
That’s a lot of troops that’s passed at the end. The attrition on my course in 2016 was about 40%.
Bravo 👏
The attrition rate on this course was around 40-50% as well however, we started with a very large amount.
I was landing in Sicily in 1982! Great video! VP
I'll be in basic I think in September. All signed up and ready. 31 M, been a rodbuster for 13 years before this. Very excited to get my chance to serve
Good luck. What trade?
@@GoProuser44 Infantry, I'm thinking Mountain Warfare since I grew up hiking and camping in the mountains. I'm completely into survival and bushcraft as a hobby as well. Very interested in what CSOR, SAR Techs or JTF2 do.
@@AWestCoastWandererI would try and get out west PPCLI
@@STATLECTRIC I was thinking Princess Patricia's as well, but I wasn't sure if they were a reserves only unit, since I'm planning to go reg force for at least 3 years. The information available online is very vague, but my ultimate goal is to try to end up back out west at some point.
@@AWestCoastWandererPPCLI is reg force. 1 and 3 PPCLI are in Edmonton Alberta close to B.C. And 2 PPCLI is in Shilo Manitoba.
Do this and you won’t be just like the others. WO, CD with clasp, four tours, would do it all again, in a heart beat!
Fuck ya
Much different from when I was in from 90 to 95. S! to all current and vets!!! Pro Patria!!! We did zero CQB.
GOD bless all Canadian Men and Women in the Military. Looking good ! You're all WARRIORS and fighters in my book.
I really wish I didn't miss my opportunity to join the Forces when I was younger. Let's just say I lost focus because of a girl and ended up going to college instead after getting my High School Diploma.
Moral of the story: "Meeting a girl in school is great when you are young, but NEVER forget or get distracted from what your initial plans or intentions were in life before you had met her."
LOL wait until the social media and public affairs monsters come for this, because they will. Great video but I know they will get upset. Be warned. Awesome video though man
Really wish they wouldn't. This type of stuff is WAY better for recruiting than... whatever flavor of the month 'join now' ad is out. If any at all.
why i didnt think he showed too much that nobody hasnt seen
Old Pat vet here. When did they start combining regiments for battle school. Back then Wainwright was just PPCLI battle school. Also was 27 weeks long. Great content. Keep it coming.
I’m not sure how long ago they started doing it. All my instructors were Patricia’s and all of us went to 2 VP
Finally a video that isn't 15 years old from the GWOT age.
Im going to bmq on august 5th, he he boi.
The GWOT age? I'd rather be taught by dudes that have been in the shit than...hanging out it Latvia or living in a luxury hotel in Lebanon or Jordan.
@@robertellison4889 um i think the gwot was just a counter insurgency and that any lessons from it would even be misleading in a real war.
how long did you wait to get in? what trade did you apply for? ther recruiter was telling possibly 4 months till I get a trade offer
@@clonecammandoblue ngl i first applied last october in calgary, then got the offer around april. 🗿
@@clonecammandoblue Though i did delay the process a bit by moving to vancouver in december (which took ~2 months for that to get sorted), and i waited another month to get my physio to send them a waiver saying that i was okay. i had a back injury from work.
34m, the hiring process doesn't feel fast enough.. itching to get out there and make a difference.
Nice to have some newer content to enjoy in the meantime though!
@@sirKhO i applied june 2023 and will be going to basic in 3 weeks 🤣 cant wait!
Yes, they are working on streamlining the system this coming year to get people in the door faster
Sweet video man! I'm going for my BMQ Oct 5th, going to go for infantry grenadier. Wish me luck Lol
That’s the same time as my BMQ! Where you located? I’m with 2nd battalion Irish regiment out of Sudbury
@@snowboard4life131 Nice man!
I went full time so I have no clue where I will end up (hopefully 3rd PPCLI) but I'm coming from a little place called Sarnia 🤘
Hell yea, Im rotting in BTP waiting for course in july
6:29 first guy wouldve been very wounded or most likely dead by the time that second guy entered and got his sights on first visable target
yup
That’s why we practice practice practice.
@@GoProuser44 Keep uploading I'd love to keep followed with the improvements
I was thinking about infantry but I didn't realize the weather conditions especially in winter in other provinces like the snow and weather conditions are way more severe than here in Vancouver. ( I never been out of BC) but anyways interesting videos! Looking forward to joining CAF but maybe in another branch still thinking about it.
Haha. I’m from B.C. Wasnt use to the cold out in Wainwright. It got to -48 degrees outside for a couple days in the field.
Infanteer for over 6years now. Do another trade really. You're not paid better and there's not a lot of valuable deployments lately for infantry. Unless you like reiterating DP1 with foreign troops. Look up for Airforce, plenty of high demand trades that are much more fullfilling. The yearly life of infantry gets to you after a while when there's no combat missions, there's only so much floors you can mop and so much Atropians to take in.
@@Tsusday I was actually originally going to air force then i was thinking infantry but I think i will stick to joining Air Force since I am very interested in aviation and planes I know that there are many trades to pick from Air Force so i will do that.
@@Bassxkitty If you're into travelling a lot AESOP and Traffic tech travel a lot around the globe. Two trades that are usually high demands. It's my only regret that I didn't go airforce, their morale is so much better and their backs aren't busted.
Ty
oh yea i saw you guys out there.... some of yall did not know how to fuckin march and it was painfully obvious lmao.
but this looks pretty entertaining, in the combat engineer dsp1 we got like one 9 day field ex at the very end, the rest of it was just classrooms and cock for 20 weeks.
Lets hear them basic war stories. ThAnK yOu FoR yOuR sErViCe
Watch out for the drones buzzing over head😅
for real. they need to be training how to use and defend against drones.
@@chocolates182 they really do, 9 years in 11 Field artillery here and they changed the battlefield for us especially the FOs yet there is no equipment to deal with them on the gun line.....
@@chocolates182 as they walk in a conga line. our training is totally outdated.
the M203 range in the winter was a fucking nightmare. back in 2013 anyways, when we had shit tons of snow. -30 out, rounds dont explode, engineer has to go out and inspect each dud. one shot, 30 minute wait in -30
thats why we are using chalk rounds that have no explosive to avoid that issue
Good old wainwright alberta
White David goggins in the flesh
3 RCR 81 -95 hell ya!
Did you ask staff for permission to film? I am prepared to ask staff and write a memo to the course o if I have to.
Let me know how you got permission if you don't mind.
In Wainwright, I casually asked my staff to film before the first range. No memo needed. My staff let me use my own GoPro. If you don’t have one they will issue a crappy one. I just used the GoPro helmet strap and put the GoPro on my helmet that way.
free because we're strong ... true north ... deep respect.
i just finished my basic in wainwright any advice on my infantry DP1?
@@gnvexi how long is dp1 in wainwright? How often do ppl drive to edmonton or do yall stay in wainright? I ask cuz im from Edmonton
Stay calm in times of chaos, slow down. When they are rushing you to put your gun together in the AM After inspection, slow down think and do it right. It will make you faster. They will try to rush you by yelling and yes you have to be fast but the best way to achieve that is to slow down, be calm and do the task. Become very close with your boys on course. It’s your team and the closer you are with them the better team work you have not only that but it will increase moral which is huge in the field. Have fun enjoy the suffering, play the game. The staff are there to do a job don’t take it personally.
@@Tribuneoftheplebsmy dp1 was 13 weeks in wainwright. I believe they changed it to 12 or 8 weeks
1 more year till I can enlist.
don't canada has no javelins no electronic warfare kits. A death sentence in the modern battlefield.
Where was this? was there any A14 people in your battalion? god is good.
No alpha 1 4 on my course
Damn we use pickaxe instead of shovel we're badass haha
Im in highschool and im really adamant on joining the CAF Infantry...any tips or things to watch out for during Basic?
BMQ is pretty boring. Play their game, the staff are going to fuck with you no matter how well you are doing. Become friends with as many people as you can. Utilize teamwork for every task. When they are rushing you to do something don’t panic or be scared. Slow down, calm down and your will be fast, example: they are yelling at the platoon to get ready after inspection, don’t rush and start panicking, slow down, put ur gun together the right way. Grab everything you need for the day. Put all the other items away. Double check ur locks and then help everyone else who is panicking. Have fun it’s a great time looking back on it. Pizza Gino’s is great pizza. The army is fun man would 100% recommend joining if your considering it.
dont do it bro, learn a trade. These dudes with no Javelins and no electronic warfare kits. They ain't it
hello how many pushups do i need to do in order to be infantry?
I’d say a minimum of 40 push-ups if you wanna just barley get by
@@GoProuser44 did u pass dp1?
@@skyskye1401yes
What do i need to do to be a sniper?
@@skyskye1401good luck lmao, some dudes have been in 25 years and never seen a sniper rifle.
Nobody allowed to go buy white bed sheets to use to break up that uniform? Instead we march around like black ants silhouetted against the snow?
On the infantry course we don’t use the winter camo as we’re focusing on practicing and learning very basic infantry skills. However, we typically wear winter camo in the snow.
Whos the specimen kicking the door in at 5:30
My pet
any training with drones?
Nope they are still using Carl Gustaf's , that have trouble taking out a BMP
Very cool however it must SUCKED from the environment. Just don't put tampons into ur barrels for cleaning ok? Thanks 😂 (current Jack)
Master corpral 🫡😂
CAD PAT also known as virgin cam🤣
was cqb portion live fire?
No simunition
live fire CQB is only reserved for those who do something like going into actual urban ops course, even then im pretty sure you are not yet trusted with live ammunition.
I honestly wanted to join The CAF my whole life but as a grew older i could never support a country that does not respect me
dude never talk with that "i was about to join" bs... you were never going to, plus for some trades you would hate it because you will not be respected untill you learn to take the higher ups abuse and play their game.
@@DR-fc1eyyou gotta be a total clown and a fool if u wanna work for the Canadian federal government
cuties
What, no rainbow uniforms?
#DUCIMUS 🫡
wouldnt last 9 min in Ukraine lol
nice frag vests lol no plate carriers in sight ....
Okay mr paintballer. Go play some more call of duty.
Better hit the gym if you think you are ready for ukraine 😂
@@Bash-245muscle isn’t the only thing when it comes to combat u goof
@@BaconSlayer69 let's see you dig holes for 16 hours + every day and still have spaghetti arms.
That's 90% of combat.
U goof 🤓
@@lardface6plate carriers aren’t a necessity? Frags hold plates I hope you’re aware.
get rid of the music.
looks under funded
They are
Dangerously SO. I'm surprized the soldiers are so Naive to this fact. They are not watching the modern battlefield. What are we gonna show up with open topped vehicles and howitzers ....BRO
