Basic Up is a reality series that follows young men and women as they join the Canadian Forces starting from the recruiting office through to the rigorous basic training.
Just recently got enrolled, I'll be at BMQ in a couple weeks. They told us at the ceremony that we will want to quit but the best thing to do is to keep working and you'll pass.
The fact that this show is watered down is having the reverse effect on me than they intended. I don't expect military training to be easy and I don't want it to be easy, I want to see how hard it is and how much I'll be pushed and challenged.
This is pretty watered down to appeal to the public and make people want to join. It is a little more harsh than this but the Instructors are good people and wanna see you succeed.
Very interesting to see the contrast between the US and Canada. Biggest difference would be in Canada they are training a very small, specialized force. Also amazing is the wide range of ages. When I was at Fort Dix, many moons ago, the oldest guy in the platoon was 22 and he stood out as an oldster.
Cant take any of it personally you will never be good enough for the military, it is the job of drill instructors to scrutinize everything you do, they are preparing you for war, and war is not fun and simple mistakes will kill you.
@@xxXPINOYCRUXxx Lol yeah. Basic training wasn't as hard as people think. I remember I used to try not to laugh when we were getting jacked up during our inspections.
When i arrived in BMQ i always made a point to answer the instructions loud and clearly no matter how nervous I was. This may have played a factor into how much they grilled me after that, in that they thought I wasn't so easily scared so didn't try as hard to get me going - I dont know for sure if this is the case, just something i noticed among the instructors. I noticed the ones who appeared outwardly meek or shy got grilled a lot more.
@@nicolasclermont893 okay thanks! just one more question, what happens after you’ve graduated from BMQ? do you get sent back to where you came from or...?
I'm certain the world is quivering in the boots with fear as they try to sleep at night from the fear instilled by this video and these fearsome looking warriors.
@@gt4666master Your comment is so overwhelming, filled with information and evidenesce ....more than a simpleton like yourself could ever know. First your afraid to use your real name concerning your call sign....the word master indicates you are a weakling with a severe complex. Uneducated ...without direction and low paying employement . This almost always indicates that the author [you] are certain to be a loser. Its difficult to follow youtube requirments and keep comments respectful with losers . Not only do you sound like a loser ...you are...and a simpleton to boot.
"How Many did you do?" -- "The required amount, Sgt!"... My Sgt would always ask for one more... it was our thing, I think I was topping over 50 when my Sgt would just give me "The Look". We Trained on the FNC1-A1 ... The RSO (Range Safety Officer) got annoyed that I was actually a better shot than he was... After Week 6, I was above average on all standards.
The girl at the beginning... You are not a 3 year old baby needing help with everything you are expected to solve your own problems and follow instructions. You do what you are told that is it. I can't wait to join the army, to get over selfishness, laziness, and teamwork. It teaches you how to be civilized.
She’s cry lol in high school cadet they told me to sing about my mamma lol and I had to do push ups with chairs on my back, no I’m in Canada I’ll be going for my exam in a couple and after that I’ll show them the strength of a Jamaican I’ve been training for this for 23 years of my life with most of the basic training procedures I have direct experience plus I’m I don’t get scared of loud mouths lol cause where im from we listen to bullets not mouth talk lol
Pte./Recruit Dummont shouldn't be there....talking back,plays the victim card(crying,"I didnt do anything wrong",etc),not doing what she's been told and the list goes on and on and on...
Most if not all the women join, as their husbands are serving and they act their husbands rank or their untouchable!! i served for 22 years (WO) and always found it hilarious! they’d be the ones chopping on the chocolate bars doing 13 km and thinking their husbands could save them!! Lol ya can tell on this series the ones who are like that!! Ain’t nothing saving ya’s your in the military!!!!!
Damn! What's with the chick at 07:15 to 07:45. Doesn't that makes her eligible for disciple special class or something ? I have never seen this stuff ever.
"Private LaBoer 487, Infantry 031, 11 Platoon, 13/55 awaiting your instruction MCpl." 487 is the last 3 of his service number, 031 is the MOSID for the Infantry trade (it's the old one, nowadays it would be 00010), 11 Platoon is their platoon number, and 13/55 means 13 members of the platoon are present out of the 55 total in the platoon.
@@user-vr3fu2ek8d No major conflict back then mate, I seriously doubt it was 'hard core' except for garrison and training shenanigans. That doesn't exactly constitute 'hardcore' like actual war fighting does.
I don't know how anyone with a brain or individual thoughts would survive there. I'd break out in maniacal laughter dealing with these robots/npcs..."why so serious" 🤨😑😌😏😆
They're not NPCs. They're just doing their job, which is to prepare people for combat. If you can't handle living a disciplined lifestyle and being called out on your mistakes, then how are you going to handle it when you're overseas and other grown ass men are trying their hardest to kill you and your friends? The instructors are they way they are for very good reasons.
I would like to see this in real life without cameras around and all this PC nonsense. Did mine 37 yrs ago, these creampuffs would never have lived to tell the tale.
Why is he not beating Dumont within an inch of her life? Jesus H Christ pull out the attitude adjuster. You think the enemy will care you were trying your hardest? What is this? The girl scouts? Makes me want to vomit.
This video is watered down and is not an actual depiction of BMQ. Either way, at least our military is not trash like the Russian military who are getting throughly beaten by Ukraine
@@joshuacanning9040 Zelensky pours shit and all sorts of fakes into your ears in order to decried Russia, and you, like brainless sheep, believe his every word. NATO is worthless here, you are pumping up weapons to Ukraine, but there is no sense. Impose sanctions and suffer from them yourself, but we lived and live the way we did. Just a piece of advice... don't trust one source of information, look at the situation from both sides and analyze....

I’m with you on that, I want to see how far I can be pushed while trying to make the team win
Easiest thing I’ve ever done! The guy at the end behind PO Robinson was my instructor when i went through. 20 years went by super fast!
23 years ago for me............where did the time go
Ngl, that boot camp seems kinda chill. Even the PO is a chill guy in my book.

I went through probably a good 8-10 years after this was filmed, a lot different when there aren’t cameras around.

Even their military is nice compared to the American military. I love Canada!!!!
This is so watered down to what it normally is cause it's on TV. Actual training around this time was wayyy worse.
So it's getting soft like American military?
