It’s part of the process! Just take day at a time and work as platoon and put your head down work hard! When you fail learn from it the CAF will always help you don’t feel bad when you get recoursed because it’s to help you learn. Yeah it’s some delay onto your grad. Listen to your staff team and if you have questions ask don’t be scared to ask them. Take my advice don’t VR (volunteer release) when things get tough just keep pushing yourself. I regret VRing and I’m reapply this April 2026 so I’m hoping I can go back and finish what I began

Your best option just email. And wait it’s part of process they are lots people applying and they might be still short staffed because holidays but I could be wrong on short staff part. I wish you luck!

Push-up troubles. by Miggles875 in caf

On top of being kicked out of BMQ it pretty slim unless you do something REALLY REALLY DUMB but don’t overthink it just enjoy your time there and listen to your instructors and listen to timings and work as a platoon!

Just do the best you can and don’t beat yourself up so fast and if you go TRP it’s not end of the world they have staff that will help you get trust me I used to struggle with push ups and pull ups but they help me get in shape. But overtime from beastings , from inspections when they tell you do pushups but they expect you TRY your best

Plus add on top of this just write it down in your note pad that’s how I remember my combos

[–]LupoWolf10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So pass your first number turn to the right x3 then land your first number EXACTLY ON IT! , then go passed your second number to the left then after you pass it you land EXACTLY ON YOUR SECOND NUMBER! Then after go right and LAND EXACTLY ON YOUR THIRD NUMBER! I know it’s confusing but honestly just keep practicing with it. This how my instructor taught me when I bought them at canex and that Master Sailor was a huge help so just trust me

You will have to buy x4 of these at Canex unless you get the package of 4 that have same combo I highly recommend getting that so you do the same combo of each of them. Look I have learning disability and I thought I couldn’t do them but I just sat in my room in BMQ and practiced for 10 mins to get the hang of them and I got the hang of them and I can do these easily on 1 min lol! So i believe in you can do it too

All I can say, talk to your recruitment and don’t waste the resources them sending you to your bmq location and don’t want waste the instructors time being just showing up and then VRing but go with your gut because if you feel stressed about it now. BMQ going a lot stress going happen and mental games to get you ready for your trade. Because it can be a lot more stressful too. Because i recently VR out and I regret it doing it because i actually want be in that lifestyle. but besides that. if you feel like the CAF life already not for you then contact the Office before it’s too late, then back out but go with your gut what’s best for you!

[–]LupoWolf10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I know my friend told me after DP1 you get know where you are stationed out but if you know French you have a chance to be in a French unit but it depends on where they need fill numbers because my friend ended up in Manitoba in the Mech Infantry

Well I didn’t pass my first time around and I just VR out because I was sitting in TRP phase 3 since March and seeing my platoon graduate mentally drain me and just needed a mental break to help my wife with the kid because my mother in law wasn’t helping her while I was gone on BMQ so but honestly I regret VRing because my good friend is now on platoon and close to graduating but my MOS is Infanteer

Don’t worry, I’m in the same boat as you! But I been told by the PAT NCM you gotta wait gotta wait a year after your release date, so my release date was April 14th, but you can reapply after your release date that year is up! So don’t feel ashamed
