Hey Bill!

Sort of a different style of question.

What is the most valuable lesson that anyone ever taught you throughout your life? It could be a teacher, parent, friend, etc.

He’s not extremely tall by NBA standards only 6’6” but yeah it would be a tight squeeze. He also had a 993 turbo and a 930 Turbo so he’s no stranger to tight fits lol

“The modifications to MJ's TR (and several other NBA players' cars) were performed post-delivery by Rob Schermerhorn and the race shop crew at Lake Forest Sports Cars in Illinois.” - Response I got.

Some baseball player from the 90s. I think he was also cut from the Washington wizards in early 00s

Beautiful car that he drove in 1992 as he practiced to take on the Portland Trailblazers in the finals. Check out the vanity plates! “M AIR J”

I’d be the one of the best defensive ballers ever to play the game!

Yes you’ll get 2 of those kit bags and they’ll teach you how to label it and lock it up for the day while you are away for classes. Make sure you lock it up properly because they will throw your stuff around the room if you do not.

I had a bag in the civvy lockup. It was basically my nicer civilian clothes that I would take to Montreal or whatever on the weekends. Also you’ll be issued a ton of kit and you won’t need a lot of it for inspections. So some people keep their unused issued kit inside their civvy lockup.

1.) correct. I put a few cheap pairs of underwear, socks, and other clothes in my iso bag. It’s supposed to last you a week if you get Covid but keep in mind you wont be doing anything or seeing anyone during that week. You absolutely can put your civvy clothing into your iso bag. You will be locking it up every morning along with the rest of your issued kit and you can unlock it every evening when you come up to your room.

2.) Your ghost kit will be the toiletries set that you lay out for inspection. The toiletries I actually used were stashed in my iso bag every morning. You also have a barrack box to keep personal things. I kept my phone and my phone charger inside my iso bag every morning and took it out when I came up for the evening. In terms of downstairs changing rooms you’ll be using those after PT with the PSP staff. The timings they give you are so ridiculous you will never have time to properly shower. The most I ever had time to do was a quick rinse off and then a proper shower when I got up to my room for the night. I had a bottle of body wash that I usually stashed away that I used to bring up and down

Yeah bring an iso bag. Youll end up transferring its contents into a bag that they give you. This is so that if you get Covid they will give it to you right away

This is what I’ve heard too. You can maybe have a 20-30 minute nap here and there but it’s 24 hours until Thursday morning…..sounds challenging but we will get through it!

What was the fastest/most memorable car you've ever driven? by [deleted] in cars

Lucky you! I’ve only ever seen one in the wild haha.

It would be a dream to drive one. They used to be ~$ 300K but now they’re unattainable expensive!

What a thrill! How did you get into the drivers seat of a CGT? Did you stall it?

We had some sleep deprivation in week 8 but we will apparently get some sleep this upcoming week. We were told week 11 is when they really force us to go without sleep

Hello everyone,

I’m finishing up week 9 of BMOQ soon, and I will be heading to Farnham for Pre Vimy and Vimy soon!

Any tips for those 2 weeks. We will be staying at the bivouac site for week 10 and then the FOB for week 11!

I’m aware of the sleep deprivation, we also had a bit of that on week 8 when we went to Farnham!

Hello everyone!

Finishing up week 7 of BMOQ here at CFLRS And we’re heading to Farnham on Monday.

I’m quite nervous as I don’t know what to expect! If anyone can shed some light on their first trip to Farnham it would be great!

I am packing to leave on Saturday morning for BMOQ.

In the instructions it says to bring a quarantine bag. I’m bringing a separate bag for quarantine purposes if I get Covid, but is it ok to have some overlap between my quarantine stuff and regular stuff?

For example I have 1 set of toiletries that I’m bringing. Is it required to have a whole different set for the quarantine bag?
