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.
I would have loved to have done boot camp with Murray. He would have always lightened things up a bit with his good sense of humour. Also that was a nice thing Jaworski said to Gordon's parents.
is in the head sure is hard on the physics too but if you fit and dont do anything stupid to injure yourself after all to go trought it is in the head just like the basic training
I just got a lump in my throat watching them march in for the grad parade. I had almost forgotten that feeling but it hit me hard. 8926 Cornwallis. Grad parade September of 89 then fleet school in Esquimalt. What a ride!
I am really excited to begin the military journey. I just passed the CFAT and in one month I have an interview and a medical exam. I can't wait because the military has been my dream since I could dream. I am 18 years old now and ready to do my family proud. This series definitely motivates me to push myself harder to achieve these goals. Only God knows what the future will hold, but I know that I want the Canadian Army in my future
@@DVPlushies I went to a recruitment office and the recruiter guy working said it took him 4 years for his application to go through but that's rare it should take 6 months to a year is the average time it takes
I am very grateful for this series - i've been researching as much as possible before I go for my BMOQ and this really showed me in depth all the things I was curious and nervous about that I couldn't find anywhere else. I understand this is from 15+ years ago, but thankfully you covered it all! Cheers!
a 53 years old man pass the training and he also do is jobs training and he now a member of the aarmy and have a jobs few years ago , so im sure that 49 guys did it too
Yeah, it was the best moment of wearing a DEU marching with pride for graduation. The most of them if they still serve may become at lease MCpl or Sgt. I guess
I served with Chris Pte. Murray! As I was watching this video I was Like I know that guy! Because he is a natural joker, great human! I actually forgot about him:( Awesome VIDEO!
I VR at the beginning of week 3. This was durning all the Covid protocol’s. These videos paint a very different picture than the reality of basic in 2022. Because of Covid half the stuff that they did we weren’t doing or it was modified for safety reasons. Also I felt very alone and isolated. I hope in a year or two I can re-in list and try again
Boohoo poor little you. The song of losers! You couldn't complete 3 weeks? No one feels sorry for you. " the stuff that they did we weren’t doing'' HOW WOULD YOU KNOW? YOU DID 3 WEEKS! Don't join again. We don't need you with that defeated attitude of yours!
Best just to get it done. I did my basic last year and was in st Jean from august 14-November 18. 5 of us from the same section went into covid iso for 6 days and got recoursed. Ended up getting put on a way better platoon. Basic was one of the greatest experiences of my life despite all the covid regulations, masks, etc. Best job I’ve ever had.
@@JayBruceWorld I’m glad to hear that you made it though, and had a good time on your new platoon. I’m going for my interview for the reserves next Wednesday so fingers crossed.
I was Class 9808A and went during the summer to this school. They've expanded so much of what I was being trained on compared to this video years later. But watching all of the videos took me down memory lane. My class started with almost 75 I think. And by the time grad hit we were about 30 I think.
you pretty much get full kit when you get there. And it's A LOT of kit and naturally this one being in the winter you get that winter gear. I was during the summer when I attended my BMQ so it had it's challenges too.
lol not during covid. ffo plus facemask suuucks. naw all in all, have fun when you can, and remember when it sucks: play the game. 90% of the pain, comes from you.
@@MrSimon117 yup that's what I was told it's a game and play it and you'll get there. When you finally arrive for BMQ that's when reality hits and then smacks you in the face!
Do not get injured and try not to stand out. None of it matters, just pass then hopefuly you'll get some actual training after; you can hide stuff by the bathrooms in green sector, liquor and whatnot. I didn't do the infantry course but I got to watch others do it, that is a little bit of the actual army. It doesn't really get a whole lot better, the petty nonsense goes on. Just don't be a 00129 😹😹😹😹, It was an interesting experience but thats it. Don't let it become your personality or you'll never leave and turn into a cadpat goblin creature 👿. And get extra sleep whenever possible, never ask permission but ask for forgiveness 😂
I heard Jason Hart is now a Sergeant. Glad to know that some of them in here are still serving.
pretty sure he was my platoon sergeant on my bmq, if its the same combat engineer Sgt Hart lmao
WO now. He was also hit by an IED in Afghanistan a few years after this and was severely injured.
Chris's brother just looks pissed lol, having his parents talk so highly of him just kills him on the inside 😂😂😂😂
I noticed that also. Maybe he regrets not joining as well?
😂😂😂 He was just there to drink he ain’t care about his brother’s graduation!

and Jaworski just pumping this kids tires at dinner when only a few weeks ago he was in his office jackin him up for not doing his homework 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how happy they are till the infantry boys get on dp1

@@TheJimyyy nothing like basic
You have to do a updated version for this year! I went through BMQ beginning of 2020!
how was it?
Nah this is embarrassing enough

how did it go for you?
@@Bruh-bc4tb im still in the process its pretty slow but so far so good
@@DVPlushies great. Tomorrow i have to do the CFAT and im looking to join infantry
@@DVPlushies did they accept you?

I wonder what happened to Wayne White, the 49 year old. I didn't see him in the graduation parade and he wasn't interviewed afterwards.
Steen goes into it at 3:34, everyone he mentions at the beginning didn't do an interview
There was an update video done. Both him and Robert James graduated with the next course they were placed with, only a few weeks behind this group.
a 53 years old man pass the training and he also do is jobs training and he now a member of the aarmy and have a jobs few years ago , so im sure that 49 guys did it too
@@mattd4698 I would be Robert James. Yes we both graduated after being put back on course.
@@TheTrilogy2012 Hey Robert! Been a long time since we filmed with you guys! Hope everything is good with you!

It's cool that you attempted and even more so that you want to go back for more. Good luck!
Also thanks for the heads up!

@@canadiangirl2207 best of luck! I think reserves basic is usually just on weekends with your local unit isn’t it?

Sounds like you went through a hell platoon. Nowadays, there are 3 divisions - A, B(hell pl), C(Hollywood pl), also it is mow only 10wks course.
I remember Jaws he was my neighbour once.
Are the army service uniforms given during BMOQ?.
you pretty much get full kit when you get there. And it's A LOT of kit and naturally this one being in the winter you get that winter gear. I was during the summer when I attended my BMQ so it had it's challenges too.
@@toner37 if you do it in summer, how does one acquire winter gear?
@@dparmar3 they give you everything at basic other than deu’s rn. Unless you’re an officer, then they’ll have you looking nice and pretty
I'm gonna love basic 😂

if you're going combat arms basic is the easy part ,,,,,,

And girls...
@@s66458--- he wasn’t referencing the girls, hence why he said “boys”
@@sleeque6809 Huh. Not sure what your point is.
@@s66458--- you said “and girls” when he wasn’t even referencing girls.
@@sleeque6809 yeah, and my point there are women that serve. What is so hard to grasp?
