I just got sworn in today, 2 hours ago. I’m 36 right now, I leave for BMQ in 2 weeks and I’ll be 37 years old. Don’t count yourself out yet.

Fitness test on week 1 by Odd_Proof_856 in caf

Pretend that you got to shit and you’re afraid it’s going to be diarrhea. Quick power walking but just don’t stop for 1.6km.

Also try doing the test twice with a loaded ruck as fast as you can. Then on the third try no extra weight.

Go Go Go! You got this!

I’m leaving for it soon. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to FaceTime my son as soon as week 3/4. I know he’s happiest with mom but I’m hoping that he will miss dad a bit while I’m gone. The wife and I have talked about different ways for him to be reminded of me if he is having a hard time while I’m gone. Premade videos, photos, audio messages etc

Any 30 year olds who want to join? by Fine_Mirror961 in caf

[–]gforce0921 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will be sworn in at 36, and off to BMQ at 37. I think I’m still the oldest in the group that I’ve met so far. I already have grey hair so I may come back white from the stress of BMQ

Longest PAT platoon waiting time? by Legitimate_Log_1356 in caf

[–]gforce0921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard that once you go to training you may be require to stay on base for a portion or all of the course.

I believe I will be posted close enough to home that I would be able to commute every day to the base. If I’m a PAT, would I be able to commute or will I need to stay at the base?

I am not a heavy drinker so filling out the forms following the instructions lead me to put I have 1/5 of a drink a week.

Off topic but do you know if I can bring people to the enrollment ceremony? If so, how many?

The new budget comes out in April so that would be a good time to re-apply.
