      Hey Desmond! Thank you, means a lot coming from you :) We should speak further and potentially do a crossover/colab video! We have two unique perspectives to offer.

    Keep all your paperwork because the military WILL lose it. Send everything in emails because supervisors WILL lie to save their own asses.
    You will meet some of the best people and worst people in the military.
    Use the Military to better your life, don't let the Military use you.

      Good advice! One of my friends from BMQ had to do the force test twice because they lost his papers the first time lol…

    Hi, great video. I was told that there will be 2 summers where I need to go for training. Is that the BMQ? I can't leave this summer due to my day job. Can we select which summer to be away if the first summer that I'm hired isn't feasable? I hope there is flexibility if one summer doesn't work out. I will be in HR department. Thank you.

    Could you please tell me if there’s a chance I’ll be placed in Ontario if I request to be closer to family?

    Where can we find out the next BMQ intake date for GTA reserves?

    • @KyraNankivell
      @KyraNankivell  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I’m pretty sure it’s not public information! You’ll need to be a CAF member first, then just ask your chain of command. They run many BMQs from April to end of summer though.

      Most reserves are during summer, most standard active duty bmq’s are during the cold season tho

      You can do it in the summer or you can do it part time which is two weekends a month or every other weekend friday-sun

    • @cmac007
      @cmac007 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, you can do it in the summer. You will have one summer of BMQ and one summer, DP1

    • @silverblueshadow
      @silverblueshadow 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      if you can, do it full-time during summer. the experience molds you better than pt bmq, imo, because you're stuck on garrison out of comfort zone for at least an entire month, which really forces you to grow

      You get to choose a preference and if you have a good enough reason like family your usually good but as of right now basically every unit is hurting for people so the worlds your oyster man
