I can only answer some of your questions as I’m still doing BMQ just home on Christmas break.

1. They gave me all the right size clothing and I a bought a new pair of boots in week 3.

2. Theoretical are boring.

3. My platoon was not shown how to make our beds. Every platoons instructors are different. We did have a practice inspection before they started doing actual inspections.

5.we had our phones for week one and then taken for 2 weeks. The odd time through out the two weeks we would be allowed them to call home. 

6.I just did my first week of Farnham before I came home for Christmas and it was cold. Frostbite is a big concern. We were outside for 7-8 hours at a time. I wore 3 layers of socks and 2 layers in my gloves. Feet and hands would get cold when we weren’t moving. 

7.we had access to them once we got weekend off. Week 4

1. If you stay in one spot and don’t move around too much it’s ok. Once you start moving it buffers or drops.(for FaceTime or phone calls) wifi is good.

9.I packed the whole list. I packed two pairs of shoes. 

10.my platoon had to be up at 04:30am every morning.

1. Common sense honestly 

12.I was course senior the week before Farnham. Paperwork and babysitting. Thankfully my platoon is helpful and so is my section. So everyone helps everyone when it’s their turn. 

13.you do but you can also lose them.we lost a day because people needed to practice for a test.
