May 5th BMOQ

[Engineer_1981]

Hi Everyone! I happen to be a little late introducing myself. I am one of those lucky candidates going for the May 5th IAP/BOTC.

Surname: Keesari
Age: 26
Trade: Engineer-DEO
Hometown: Mississauga, ON

I'll be intensifying my workouts in these last 2 weeks and hopefully I can meet the CF Expres requirements. I've hired a personal trainer to push me on weight/strength training, while I took care of the cardio. I've  I  run (on tread mill) 4-4.5 miles depending on my body's mood 2-3 times a week, while once a week I reserve a day for sprinting. been training for the last 3 months and have done my level best to get in shape for basic training...I'm working on the swimming part. So, I guess I'm as ready as I can be.

Anyways, I hope to see most of you on May 4th. I'm flying in from Toronto and will arrive at Trudeau around 0930. If anyone around the greater TO area would like to meet up, let me know.

Cheers!

BTW: I've seem some posting regarding signing bonuses and yes, I'll be receiving it in 2 installments: one after Basic training and the other after 2 years.

I will be landing at Trudeau, from Fredericton, N.B. at approx. 0725. Look for a bald-headed guy hanging around the baggage carousel, reading a book, and looking painfully bored. Our shuttle doesn't arrive until 1400. So approach me and say "Hi". I, likely, could use the company.

I'm arriving at Trudeau at 1330. I'll be the 7' tall guy trying to square everything away in time to catch the 1400 shuttle.

This is great, I was thinking the newly cut-down list was going to be nothing but ROTP guys. This will be a great mix.

Ill be landing around 1630,  then waiting patiently for the 1900 shuttle.  Anyone else waiting with me?

At the recruiting center we were given very specific instructions not to get drunk during this time. Strange but true.  I hadn't planned on it, but it makes me wonder how common was it for new recruits to show up plastered.

Same as it would have been if you had gone to BMOQ as scheduled.

I'm on the 0036E BMOQ course and I haven't heard anything from my CFRC about the course being canceled -- in fact I'm getting on a plane to Montreal tomorrow at 1000h so it better not be

See everyone later tomorrow.

I am at the airport right now waiting for the 19:00 shuttle (it is now 18:00).  Anyone who is already there, connected enough to read this and feels like meeting for a coffee, I am at the Le Metropole Cafe and Bar** having a coffee.  Ill be the guy with the laptop & the coffee.

** arrivals level, hang a right at the baggage claim hike to near departures, its a corner lot on your right.
