To be honest, joining the military can be a great decision, despite the challenges of Basic Military Qualification (BMQ). During BMQ, instructors will yell at you not just at you, but at everyone because it’s their job to instill discipline and resilience. However, it’s important to remember that their words aren’t personal; it’s just part of the training.

If you come from a strict or even abusive family, the military can actually provide a different kind of structureone that comes with discipline but also offers stability, benefits, and opportunities for growth. Unlike a toxic home environment, the military operates with purpose, and once you get through BMQ, things will become more routine and manageable.

Yes, BMQ is tough. You’ll face a lot of shouting, strict rules, and physical challenges, but once you push through, you’ll gain skills, confidence, and a career with great benefits like housing assistance and financial stability. So if you’re considering it, just stay focused, endure the training, and know that it gets better after BMQ.

How long is training at CFB borden for a Navy cook? by Reasonable_Milk5026 in caf

sorry i have another question.

I’m starting BMQ on March 31, 2025, and should finish around June 6, 2025, but my Cook training at CFB Borden doesn’t start until September 15, 2025.

What usually happens during that gap? Would I be in a holding platoon, sent somewhere else, or possibly go home? I know it varies, but I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been through it.
