Basic Training Preparation Episode 2 | Canadian Armed Forces Navy Reserve

In Episode 2 of the Train The Trainer Basic Military Qualification Instructor course we will talk about bilingual training, physical fitness preparation, and disciplinary action.
Lors du deuxième épisode de notre série sur les instructeurs du cours de recrues, nous discuterons de l’entraînement bilingue, de la nécessité d’être en bonne forme physique et des mesures disciplinaires prises en cas d’inconduite.

Module Tents ...sounds like fun :) Love the exercises. Much better than it is 3 weeks than 13 weeks. Chunking the learning process in smaller 'bite's is easier for candidates.

Is there time for weight lifting during navy reserves bmoq?

[@PrairieSailor]

Not really. There will be physical training periods that will be mostly bodyweight circuit training and cardio. You will get some time off on Sunday afternoons where you could potentially go to the gym, but during the course I taught on no one had access because of Covid protocols.

@@PrairieSailor is there any update on that status? or is there still no time?

[@PrairieSailor]

@@omstc2583 the gyms are all open again. You will likely have free time once per week when you can go to the gym. You will do physical training every day, usually running, marching and some circuit training.

What is the point of a swim "test" if you're allowed to fail it? Shouldn't it just be called a water exposure exercise? That's our new woke CF I suppose.

[@PrairieSailor]

It allows the CAF to know who can swim and who cannot and to give extra training to those who fail so that they can learn how to swim. Having less exposure to water during childhood is common and not being able to swim should not be a barrier to serving your country.
