- Part two of Boot Camp continues to track new recruits who are attempting to finish the toughest training of their lives all the way to graduation day. Some make it through Canadian Forces Basic Training, and some don’t. Find out who has the guts and who shares in the glory.
One of the most underrated military in the world, I love working with these guys. -love from the U.S.
Task Force 141 sameways eod eroc saved asses
appreciated but this show is somewhat a joke i got lucky and got combat arms to train me thank god. all infantry when i went through basic. our basic you can be trained by army air or sea. mcpl wiebe was an instructor when i went through and got promoted to sgt at our graduation. in 2007
@@evilmonkeygaming7200 absolutely incorrect! you go through your basic(soldier) training FIRST then once the basics are down then you go on to your trades training. Your chosen trade and element has no bearing on your training during basic and as far as your instructors go it's the same courses for instructors regardless of trade or element as well(at least it used to be anyway) besides grunts would not get far without their Pog's ask anyone who has a few years in! :)
Cpl here...and we love your women...I mean army...fuck...bahahahahaha. Cheers Bro!...come up North and we will have a beer!
John Luu you’re just secfo...y’all would say some shit like that
I give the lady in her 40's A lot of credit
kevin murphy I had one on my bmq that was 54
Had a guy on mine that was 48, we got him some custom nametapes that said 'Grandpa' at the end of training. I found older people, most likely due to having more life experience, tended to be more level headed and remained calm when the pressure was on.
@@danw4237 I got to experience this first hand on both sides of this one. My "First" BMQ was as a 19/20 year old going through Cornwallis and we had an "old guy" about 38-40ish on our course. there was no one with more determination, strength and knowledge there then him, but in order to benefit from it you had to slow down and actually get to know the guy. Fast forward 20ish years later i go back to see if I could still pull off a pass for the physical(did it after just 3 months, Yay me!) after running a desk for 20 years and what do you know but I am the one with all the attributes I shared above, only now I know why he did not volunteer any info easily, he was too damned tired trying to keep up (and pretend it was not hard) with the young pups without 20 plus years of life under their belts. it is just a whole different game when your 40 plus still trying to play the young person's game. Luv the custom nametag deal, sounds like he helped you all in ways you didn't even know you needed it. I hope you kept in touch as those are the most honest friends you will ever make.....
Shes like "i got kids, this aint nothing"
i don't that is just stupidity
I want to live this life. I know that for a fact, watching this, lights a spark in me.
E Crierie same here
Wu-Tang Ninja Congratulations! Hope you make it to the other side :)
I will hopefully be going in a year
***** I did it last year but failed the CFAT test so I am going back to school for a couple months just to refresh myself make sure I pass it the second time around.
but I do have the application filled in and saved to my desktop for when I do go back to take it again.
Wu-Tang Ninja I myself will be applying for the Naval Reserve for a couple years then go full-time (less competition if you join the reserves since most people automatically want to join the full-time forces) I was a sea cadet for about 3 years and absolutely fell in love with it and it encourage me to want to enlist.
***** Problem is standards are higher when going directly to reg force, i have years and years and years to wait.
Well i may not be stupid i think joining the reserves which is close to home get a taste of it would be a better choice for me in my opinion.
but thanks anyway :)
I’m a new Canadian citizen, and I arrived in my new country as a refugee oh yes I’m Definitely going to join the Canadian military in 2021, I will be 42 years old by then I have full confidence that I will Make it through, I’m proud to give my life for For greatest country in the world big Respect and love for my Canada.
Welcome home my friend! Cheers from Québec :)
Its one of the safest armys to join
@@roostercreates You are joking right? Canada is in active NATO duty. People died in combats.
Did you join?
I want to be a Canadian citizen , how did you do?
From the US. You are fantastic folks and great soldiers!
reddevilparatrooper USA is better and way harder training
Leafs Fan nobody asked for your opinion leafs.
Was that Really necessary reddevil
@Jack Hertz Are you stupid?
I enjoy these types of comments alot !
The women who was 42 in boot camp is a complete beast. Wow
Career change and challenge. She can do it. I'm 63 and in the best shape of my life. Ignore those that say age is a problem...
This was my platoon! Glad they filmed this. Memories... any questions ask **Note: this show was also heavily edited. A lot of the more "intense" moments were edited out and the cameras were not always on us 24/7.... fyi.....
Vo Devil yes
Im joining soon, I hope I'm able to get through basic because I aspire to be a combat engineer
What year did you do the course?
Do you have Chantal St-Jean’s phone number?
What would be the best way to prepare for the BMQ? I am interested in joining and am trying to prepare for the BMQ.
Not often we see our cousins from Canada 🍁, but never forget we love you, English or Québécois, you are the best. Friendly from France 🇫🇷.
Hahah yeah, about that. French Canadians are NOT real Canadians.
They havent even signed on to the constitution. Their province of Quebec constantly drowns Canada in debt and hypocrisy over what's fair and what isn't. Also, your from France? funny. Cause Quebécers hate France. Wierd, right?
Fuck Quebec
@@TheEstowrath You dont speak for us, we love people from France and Ontario is the province that is most indebted if you dont like being canadian you're free to move out
TheEstowrath I love country and I am a proud Canadian. You should be ashamed . You are not more Canadian than us

Officially Owen ikr
@Yanick Manny Canadians use one of the best guns, U.S the other hand jams alot.
@@odinfury9273 No sir... the M4 is a great rifle. I've had ONE jam from the several that I've owned, and that was after putting a couple thousand rounds through them. Most good brand M4 (or AR15) like Colt, Smith&Wesson, and a few others are very reliable rifles.
@@odinfury9273 I like both rifles lol. Both rifles are excellent pieces of equipment and will get the job done
Served with Canadians during Operation Inherent Resolve. By far the most polite, respectful, and friendly guys around
superdduper93 as a Army Cadet I say thank u for your service and that your comment haven't replied for a year!
Canada, thanks for being there 1914 and 1939 from a Brit
Steve Thomas and thanks for being there 1812
@Daniel S.P. He is not addressing you and anyone who was around back then has most likely died.
Daniel S.P. He’s addressing the nation as a whole you absolute knob, it obviously means the military, the government that authorized and supported the aide, the loved ones who’s lives were completely changed or torn apart.
The Qwertydude Canada 🇨🇦 wasn’t a country in the war of 1812, and that war ended in a stalemate and the largest and last battle ( battle of New Orleans) was won by the Americans. The war of 1812 is also why the USA 🇺🇸 expanded out west and built up its military and economy. Fighting the USA 🇺🇸 in 1812 and fighting the USA 🇺🇸 now is a completely other thing.
The Qwertydude but than again you Canadians go around saying that Germans where scared of you, when we actually where not and only feared the Soviets in WW2. Vimy ridge was only taken because of tired, hungry German soldiers that where low on ammunition and the British are the only reason that ridge was even possible to take because of how many Germans died fighting them off.
We Stand On Guard for Thee
thank you for your service buddy!

I spent 35 years in the Canadian army at the pointy end. This is where we start being world class soldiers
Could you possibly give a hopeful 18 year old some timeframe on how long it would take to climb from infantry to the pointy end?
@@ericpolan1716 Well, If you choose to join the combat arms, as infantry, artillery , armour or engineers, you are joining the pointy end. There are lots of other trades within the forces that support the combat units in the army . Though they keep us moving in the field, they are not considered combat troops though in Afghanistan, they had to fight at times to get the supplies to the combat troops.
@@danmeehan1390 what about entomologist and geographer trade in rcn or caf? Are there any?
@@TheShiraz92 I retired four years ago but I would strongly recommend talking to a recruiter, they will have the latest info on what trades there are, available.

Recruit: “17 year old with a rifle what else could uhh...”
Me: “please don’t say go wrong, please don’t say go wrong”
The rifles are really nice, a lot sturdier then you would think especially while doing the safety range drills, for my platoon we had 2 16 year olds, it was interesting.
Hell, I got my first gun, a Remington .22 single shot rifle at nine years of age. It stayed in dads gun safe but it was mine. By thirteen my brother and I were allowed to keep our guns in our room. Growing up in Texas in the 70s was a different world. I guess.
I joined the army cadets (2912 Irish Regiment, Sudbury, On) when I was 12 and we all shot the .22 rifles at the time. I never thought anything of it since my dad served and had guns so for me it was a fairly normal thing to do, but sometimes when I mention this detail to my friends they look at me kinda funny 😅
Seems like typical Canadian injurys. springing an ankle in a pothole and slipping on the ice. :p

Brings back loads of memories. From my basic in 1974 to teaching basic in 1990. I retired in 1996.
I wouldnt beable to hide a smile if i heard one of them eastern accents
No problem, east coasters love turning smiles upside down. They're a very helpful people.
I like the "new" water trial. Mine at Cornwallis in 1962 was pack your entire kit in your blanket bag (big canvas duffel) dress in your number 2's with your spit shined boots, put that duffel over your shoulder and the whole barracks got marched out into the Bay of Fundy until our port and starboards floated off our heads - About Turn - march back to the barracks and get your totally soaked kit laundered and ironed, your ruined boots spit shined and your gear properly rolled and all laid out on your rack for a full inspection the next AM. You stayed up all night washing & ironing and polishing those boots. If your kit didn't pass, you got to do it all over again.
Graduated, August 15, 2019. This training was very hard. Congrats to everyone that made it through BMQ.
Graduated July 4th, what platoon where you on? I was on Charlie 3-1
@@julienarsenault8531 B-27
What was the hardest portions ?
@@jayysmalls4443 for me it was drills and sleeping next to people who snores like a giant pig. Going out in the field was tough also but can be fun. Also, never, ever forget your gear. I was in the green sector, 7th floor, you don't want to be going down to the ground floor all kitted up and then realizing you forgot your gloves. You'd be surprised how many people forget their gear. There's more, like sewing, polishing your boots, cleaning your weapon and etc. These are small things to worry about but when you're up at 5am with very little sleep, it can get tough.
I am a WO and about to be promoted to MWO this year and weibe is in my head living rent free for the last 19 years
please say good things on my PR.... really trying to go for that advanced promotion
My little brother just graduated Bold Eagle (Aboriginal Entry Program) 2017 and I'm damn proud of him. I've been in process for a couple years to go to Quebec. Been tough with waiting but Bold Eagle is always available if I wish to join quicker however it's 6 weeks of training (first week being First Nation's Awareness) compared to 13 weeks of training.
Nick J. i went to bold eagle and it was a blast, i was in taypotat platoon , went in summer 2018 (: cool to see a comment like this
I'm proud to say Canada is my home... thank you so much
After 3 week christmas leave: "In a nutshell, we're gonna be coming down hard and fast on em', just to get them that wake up call and to say, 'look, YOU'RE back here.. no longer on the civi side, ..drinkin' the eggnooggg, ..eatin' the turkeeeyy, anything like that. You're back in the military' " .. LOL
Makes me Proud and tired watching these men and women going through the paces. :) More Power to them all! :)
The graduation made me tear up man! I just finished my CFAT and passed. My application is being process one step at a time. I am so excited to be part of this, to serve my country. Something that is really bigger and greater than myself.
Did u get in ?
@@jayysmalls4443 my application is still on process :)
@@jlzivi5277 probably still waiting lol
@@emericdion leaving this Saturday for BMQ! :)
@@jayysmalls4443 just an update, I’m leaving for BMQ this Sat. :) i received my offer 3 months ago.
The truth is any infantryman will tell you BMQ is a complete joke. Even DP1 (Infantry training) is easy compared to what they do regularly on exercise and while deployed. Since BMQ is required for every trade in the CF, it has to be easy enough for middle aged cooks and future desk-jockies to get through it. The amount of people talking shit makes me laugh though, did you think it would be like BUD/S or something? lmao
Thank fucking god dude, I was getting embarrassed watching this shit and these recruits in action, questioning if I even wanted to actually join after this, I don't wanna sign up and go through this shit with a bunch of whiny dorky kids and adults.
I know right?! Did BMQ back in 09 and compared too all my phases of training...BMQ was the easiest of them all. I don't know why people freak out about BMQ.
Basic is a course for ex-Cadets and geeks to feel good about themselves.
You're*. No, the ones who take it super seriously and think they're hard as fuck operators on basic are ex-Cadets and geeks.
No. Cadets as in Air/Sea Cadets. I'm not explaining this any further lmao
This is everything I have ever wanted since I saw my father come home from Afghanistan. The only thing in my way is the CFAT which I have been studying my ass off for so I can finally become a soldier in the Canadian Forces.
If you just want to be infantry, don't worry about your cfat score
Thumbs up to private Jody Boivin! Great determination.
God Bless you northern neighbors of ours, we'll always support each other
Our Canadian cousins thank for you support over the years.. Cardiff South Wales 🏴 Great Britain. Thank you.
Canadian Combat boots are the most uncomfortable thing you'll ever walk in.
1 SHOT 1 BANG hi I enjoy them
which ones the new ones im told are great, until they fall apart.
Nah, just the old ones
You’ve never worn your issues oxford shoes
Nothing's worse than the old issued running shoes they give you in basic. Fucking ankle breakers.

I'm so close that I can taste it.... finished all my appointments and such and now I'm just waiting for a call to go and get sworn in pretty much
CanuckTV what’s better army or navy in Canada? I wanna get so ripped 😂😂
My BMQ was super easy i found, then again i went in well prepared for doing the 13km walk the 5km run and the other physical things you do day to day. If you are prepared for it, watching these video's gives you a great understanding of what to expect before joining, so you work hard to make sure you are good and ready before going to BMQ, the biggest challange you will face while away is being away from your loved ones, that Isolation can really be intimidateing
0:30 Everyone knows you don't CLP your rifle before inspection. It'll just sweat carbon and get dirty again.
I did regular force basic back in 1985 in Cornwallis Nova Scotia. Yes...I am old. So happy the young people are still joining the military and still serving.
These guys are what I call "Winter warriors".
Ethan Clarke the real winter soliders
Ethan Clarke we just need the CADPAT wo (winter ops), but that's only for active duty

36:21 this was brilliant.
Great video. Im leaving for basic in a few weeks and was worried I'd be the old guy going in. Seeing this video showed me a couple people older than me going in
Did you make it thru?
Basic is the one course I would not want to do again.
I heard it's easy. Could be wrong though I have not done it. I'm trying to get selected for Pre Para with Cadets which is supposedly harder than BMQ.
id do it again to have a laugh at how its not really hard at all, and all just a big game.
How do they treat you like a baby? Just wondering. Do they always tell you what to do?
CadetHowTo Canada exactly. like every aspect of your life is dictated, like a kid.
+Kandiell oh that does kind of suck. Does it get better in trade specific training
Congrats Pte Boivin! 42 and still have what it takes! You go girl!
bayonet fighting was by far the most useful thing i learned at BMQ
Steve WOllen hahahahaha a hearty laugh
KILL KILL KILL
They don’t teach that in the course anymore
Damn seeing those CFLRS mess stairs and hallway really brought a lot back for me
I did my BMQ in Valcartier Quebec, and it was so damn cold. I was so happy when it was over.
Do u get to choose if u wish to go in summer?
They should do it in the actual north where we have three feet of snow and -30 every other day
@@danchristopher994 No. Your chain of command will send you where ever they offer boot camp.
Watching these back to back to get myself pumped up for basic training in a few months.
How did it go?
I love military life but the problem is I’m 17 and I can’t take orders Like that Id lose my shit If I was being yelled at constantly like that lol
Even though it's been over 38 years since I've gone through Basic training,I still remain in touch with some of my friends from 2nd Platoon. I have always considered,even to this day,my military friends as my family.
13K march? We had to complete a 25k march in Fighting Order, rations and water (web gear, no pack) with our C7's in four hours and 15 minutes to graduate, (fifteen minutes for a break). We beat the time by 1/2 an hour maintaining nearly 4.5 mph/7 km/hr. throughout. This was at CFB Borden when they still held BRT (Basic Recruit Training) there.
Four years later, would love to see a follow up video on some of the lives of this platoon to see how they are doing.
The video was posted 4-5 years ago, but their graduation was in year 2008. So it has been almost 14 years! I wonder if any on the featured recruits are still serving!
@@jlzivi5277 Not many actually, and sad to say, but some have lost touch over the years. There are a handful here on this platoon still who I'm still friends with on Facebook.
Very interesting to see the different order and sequencing of training. Quite different from Australian Army, but at the end of the training it achieves similar outcomes. Great video.
Much different than my ‘basic’ way back in 1977 in Cornwallis, NS! Overall, it looks much more well rounded than what I received. I saw much more emphasis on basic ‘military’ skills such as map reading, defense, patrolling, etc things we were not taught at the ‘basic’ level. Overall, I think it’s at a better standard then what some would call ... ‘the good old days’! Yet, somethings remained the same ... making small circles on your boots, inspections ... and drill ... well I guess those are important to! As it was said ... it builds character... For those offering comments about tougher training later on... you forget ... ‘basic’ is the means of conversion for civilian to ‘soldier’. It remains the foundation corner stone
US Army vet here! I'm not going to dump on this BMQ course for being weak; each nation has it's own way of doing these things and I'm cool with that. Two comments though:
1. Having recruits from all services going through this seems silly. Yeah, there's overlap with Army and Air Force types, but spending a bunch of time on field ops, weapons qual, etc for aspiring Sailors seems somewhat pointless.
2. That Laroche kid is cool. I hope things went well for him!
Laroche kid is my brother, he did well, I leave soon for BMQ also
@@tannerlaroche tell us how things went for you!
Keep up the great work Canada military
Being stuck here in Ottawa for Covid, after just 3 weeks of BMOQ, it’s bittersweet to see this!!
Was it cancelled?
Just graduated from BMQ 2 weeks ago, was fun but that's one course I will not want to do again.
I leave in January. Any tips for inspections at all? What was the most stressful part of BMQ in you're experience? Reply when you can!
Inspections, you'll probably not pass a single one until the 2IC and IC inspection, at least that's how it was with my platoon. so don't let failing inspections get you down. The most stressful thing I would say is the field exercise as it's pretty much everything you learned during your entire course.
I wanted to join but i dont speak english fluently. Im an immigrant from the philippines and move here in canada back in 2006. Im a canadian citizen now i learned a lot of english since we moved here but still im not so fluent and thats what's holding me back.
mark6020cc You can do it, just put your mind to it.
william James oh thanks for the motivation my friend.. btw im writing my CFAT on january..
The best advise I receave prior to my basic training back in 2000, is... take it as a big role play, take it as a big pièce de théatre... they have nothing against you, they are the instructors, you are the recruit... so be it ! Follow the command and shut the fuck up unless you see safety matter involve... and I had sooooo much fun doing it ! Best winter of my life ! maybe im tuffer than average, but I really felt like a summer camp !
With buddies, challenges, lack of sleep, a lot of jokes, a lot of laugh, a lot of work... pushing everyone to be the best they can...
These sargeants are actually nice... compared to other sargeants in other countries.
Slivinski is definitely “that” recruit. If you’re in the military you know what I’m talking about.
Just finished my initial testing today, hopefully I can join the infantry
Love my Canadian force's if they need help I'm Canadian help I'll be there till I can't breath love all you great people for all you do !
Were these Non commissioned or commissioned training to be officers? The PT seems pretty easy. 13k walk, 5k jog, swimming in a swimming pool with a floating bag, it all seems very easy. If you prepare yourself for PT ahead of time, the whole BMQ is a piece of cake.
seriously
Its more mental than physical
arushbhai as far as i am aware they are trainned separate from regular recruit's and after BT officers do go on to be trained else where to train as officers then specialise in there specific branch as well just like recruit's but again there typically trained separately since there are different requirements for being an officer.
Just an FYI: I'm pretty sure the 13k walk is with 70 pounds on their back.
I remember jumping in with required kit in a ruck that did not float like a noodle and guys sinking that did not swim in that same pool. My reserve Infantry Basic before going Reg was harder than the Reg Force Basic.
Love to the Canadian Military, amazing, I love them, they have great training
LOVE CANADA🇨🇦❤️ AND CANADIAN ARMY FROM IRAQ 🇮🇶♥️
Giving me some nice memories of... six months ago. Interesting to see some differences. We didn't have bayonet training, and the pool was closed.
The CF basic training has deteriorated so badly and is more or less impossible to fail. They push everyone through regardless of their performance. On my training, 1 Person had 3 ND's and was AWOL TWICE, still passed. 12 people couldn't even make it half way through the 13k (cant remember if you do 13 or 12k), the solution was to pick them up in a fucking van, drop them off at the end and pass them. Don't be intimidated by the "physical challenges", they're on par or easier than your average high school gym class.
Brandon Wells Nazi, you are not suppose to be in the Canadian Army. Fuck off.
While watching a couple of videos on basics, thinking it was my imagination. I have noticed big time that they are a hell of a lot more lenient from back in my day in 85. Thanks for the verification.
Because the truth is out boys, and they are desperate, and here we go!! czcams.com/video/GxGh9BGc_Po/video.html
+Keith Lapere yeah cuz very soon they're gonna be shirt on people
Short*
I love the Canadians, thank God they are in the Commonwealth, Winston Churchill once said, If he had American Weapons, British Officers and Canadian Soldiers, he could beat anyone.
If a woman in mid 40s can get through it, how hard can it be?
Its only mentaly hard, all course in the army is based about to get best soldier mentaly prepared beware a soldier with big muscle without a way of thinking
MegaWolfgang Harder then you think
lol
nordic ger touching sentiment but the Canadian Army is a joke in the international community
the problem is that they reduced standards so that anyone who wants to join can join too much Political correctness as with most things with Canada its about feels not skill
Why don't you give it a try then bud.
It was much more harsh when i when trough st-Jean and some people just disappeared from my platoon. kinda weird we never knew why..
This looks fun as heck. I want to do this.
Michael Horsey and you should
I wanna come
Michael Horsey- did ya do it?
Did my basic in Cornwallis, 21 days after my 18th birthday for 10 weeks, then went to Wainwright for 16 weeks after that, in the winter. Wouldn't want to go through that again.
Went through Cornwallis in the late 80's (8813-11PL) and to this day I can say it was the hardest and toughest 10 weeks I ever did in my life and I wouldn't change a thing about it. My trade took me to CFB Borden afterwards so definitely not as hard or brutal as Wainwright in the winter!
It's funny seeing all the people slinging shit at the Forces because a woman can pass BASIC training. Chances are they're those ultimate badass guys who'd be out of basic in a week because they kept trying to intimidate their CO's.
one time Sgt Brown made our platoon do 220 consecutive burpees because one person was 22 minutes late for drill instruction. we made sure they weren't late again after that.
Yeah thats why I ain’t joining cause I’d end up being that guy 😂 I’m 17 and it sounds fun I love the idea of Shooting and carrying the rifle but I can take orders very well
You make us Proud
Respect to our men and woman and Love forever~
different than here in the US. in our Army men and women train in separate
WOLVERINESpersonhere USA that's because canada is more equal.
WOLVERINESpersonhere USA why would you train separate if you have to fight together
Phenom 1. For years here in the U.S, women were not allowed in certain Combat MOS' ( military occupational specialty) like the infantry so therefore women were not seen in direct combat. With the exception of some female snipers, women were more present in support roles. The explanation has been scientific studies on the differences between male and female anatomies that have shown that womens bodies cannot handle the same punishment and stress than mens bodies.
In the past 5 years legislation haas changed this and now women are enterring combat roles. To note however this was only done once training standards were lowered to increase numbers.
2. Sadly there have been too many issues with sexual assault in the different branches of the military down here in the U.S
@@AustinBreathesAnime I don't know when this equality thing started. People are NOT equal. Everyone is unique and that makes them special. Women are better at other things than men and the training should reflect that.
Kevin Lewis and MWO! Kevin was a MCpl instructor with me in Cornwallis where recruit training was really recruit training. Good on ya Kevin!
This is some genius level poe shit right here man, seriously. This makes The Office look like The Bugs Bunny Show.
@Angel Vollant It's when can't tell if something is satire or not.
@Angel Vollant I didn't say anything about what our basic training is like. I'm talking about this show. Can you separate the two?
@Angel Vollant It's all good, man. Good luck in basic.
@Angel Vollant Since we're here though, I'll go into my complex feelings towards the forces. I WANT, really really want, to be proud of them. I can't say I have experience from the inside because I don't but from what I hear, the modern Canadian forces are, to borrow the phrase told to me, mostly ceremonial.
They are mostly a way to get an education and to boost your CV. Again, this is second hand info and I'd love to be wrong. The thing is, being proud of the forces when they don't adequately earn it is a bad thing. It's like being proud of your son when he's out bullying kids, starting fires and cutting class. You should love that kid just like I love the forces but you can't pretend things aren't happening. How can you solve a problem when you pretend it doesn't exist?
I don't remember if it's this episode exactly but I recall seeing one where a recruit in basic sprains their ankle on a march. This show played some sort of fallen warrior music while two other soldiers helped carry the injured one away.
A sprained ankle. Seriously. This is what I'm talking about. I've worked labor with a hole in my foot after stepping on a nail. I just hopped around while unloading and loading trucks. We joked about it. We weren't soldiers expected to fight in combat. We were a bunch of stoner 20 year olds working at a small business.
I just can't take that seriously. To someone with my background, it makes me laugh and shake my head. I want my Canadian soldiers to be bad ass motherfuckers. I want them to the kind of guys that set world distance records sniping Taliban soldiers in the mountains of Afganistan. Yet I get the feeling that those are few and far between. I get that feeling because of shows like this.
Hence, I say it's a poe. I'm wondering if this isn't some sort of counter-propaganda to make our troops seem weaker than they are so that our enemies will underestimate us. That's a pretty long stretch. It's possible, I guess, but it's entering into conspiracy theory levels of dodging Occam's razor.
BTW, I've been trying to enlist for some time but there's always difficulties. The website doesn't work well for me and now Covid is making it a impossible. Where did you sign up to get around that? I want to be a serious professional and I long to set order to chaotic situations but I also don't want to be surrounded by a bunch of kids whining about PC bullshit. I hope you can understand my perspective.
A fort two year old lady with a bayonet, making it through basic training. I've now seen almost anything.
🤣 yep that’s Canada for you
Lol if you think basic is hard, you better rethink your trade if you're considering Infantry. Your DP1 for Infantry is complete hell compared to this. Basic was a joke
bro, i am going on the 9th 2017, any suggestion?
and my first language is not English?
Doncan Liang what trade ? And January 9th ? Basic is super easy man, basically practice ironing lol don't be a bitch do as your asked, and you'll be fine. I guess go for some runs, use a weighted vest etc.
Fitness in basic is a joke, the hardest thing is staying awake in the classrooms lol
ATIS tec semi skilled. and i am 5'4 140 pounds. so nerves
hi bro, how was the weekend? in the first 4weeks do we have weekend off??
No weekends till week 5 at least, they can also be taken away if your course is junk
I just Graduated from the Canadian cadet Squadron in my local area and I've been doing a lot of research on there basic training and my god i have to say om flabbergasted I've put my application in already to join and I'm halfway to going to basic but even though this video is old I thought I would comment anyway because Sgt Brasschuck is no longer a Sgt he is now a Major and it just surprises me to see him apart of this video from me only knowing him as a Major and barley knowing about his past other then him coming to my final mess dinner this year and being the guest of honor at it to him teaching basic i never knew that I would see him in a lower rank just a fun thing i found out.
6:51 this guy kinda looks like lance stewart
God I don’t miss those damn stairs
"Minarsky platoon...Minarsky's slang for BULLSHIT isn't it?"
- Captain Sobel
not minarsky its malarky
Whoosh
Mynarsky is the name of a famous canadian soldier.
🤣🤣
Gosh, I just turned 17 and about to go, I’m so nervous bc I have bad social anxiety. I can do all the fitness stuff good but I’m dumb as a rock…wish me luck boys
dont worry too hard about it ive had social anxiety for as long as I can remember, there will be times where you'll put yourself down but that's what the teams for. youre not meant to be smart or an individual there just play their games and you'll be fine, good luck.
Any update? I’m 17 and I’d love to join and fight and hang with the Boyz the only problem is I can’t take orders Cause I’m a absolute clown and talk back I can’t help it lol plus I’m also dump as shit But that less of a problem lmao 😂
Enjoy Shilo............!!!!!!!!
I don't miss it one bit. I was part of 21 EW, half the people were broken, not deplorable and not fit to do PT.
So I shouldn’t join ?
what?! they had privacy?
Ossa1501 not as easy yes however from what I have heard the SOF training instructors are very professional and polite as long as you don’t screw up to bad
"Do you know you are out of dress without that card in your pocket?" Please tell me he isn't talking about what I think he is talking about!!!!!
I'm old school from Cornwallis but my son graduated from CFLRS St. Jean a couple of years ago and from the description he gave me, it's like a "demerit points" card in which the instructors swipe when you screw up or get in shit for something. At least, that's part of what that card is for. I asked him about this new mystery "free hugs" card that was rumoured to be in circulation and he had never seen or heard of it either. Apparently it was a thing in the early 2000's but has likely been replaced. At least, I hope to hell it's been replaced! Back in my day if you screwed up, they dealt with you in front of the entire platoon ... feelings be damned! LOL
I’m from Montreal Canada and I want to join the army
Calling recruit rifle Vera: Mynarski Memorial Lancaster Nickname is 'Vera', a play on her aircraft ID. Never forget those that fought and died for our Country.
Basic is the easiest course of your life...wait t’ill you get to infantry dp1 and chief course lmao
Tsuchi there is no infantry dp1
@@gksmcslayer2829 yea there is lol
maybe not everyone is infantry you dumbass
It’s called basic for a reason
That’s kinda neat that they still teach Bayonet combat.
Is this what you would do if you want to be an infantry soldier because I'm going to be trying to join the Canadian army
Everybody does BMQ. It's the lamest and most boring course most people do. Don't worry dude, it's just a stupid month grind.
Well a few months...
Thanato oops i meant to put "3 month grind"
After that you'll go through hell on your infantry training. Good luck bro
I really wanted to join but im not comfortable with my english... i know for sure i can get tru the physical training its just im having difficultty communicating in english..
Whatever psychological trauma these recruits face at boot camp at the hands of their instructors is far worse than anything they will face on the battlefield.
