Truth Duty Valour Episode 404 - Boot Camp - No Guts, No Glory 

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

Welcome home my friend! Cheers from Québec :)

Its one of the safest armys to join

@@ChefNastyCreates 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?

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

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.

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 :)

Was that Really necessary reddevil

@Jack Hertz Are you stupid?

I enjoy these types of comments alot !

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

Estowrath found the albertan

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.

@@danmeehan1390 roger copy that sir .thank you.

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.

@Yanick Manny Toxic people like you are annoying as hell

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

superdduper93 as a Army Cadet I say thank u for your service and that your comment haven't replied for a year!

Injuries

She’s 42

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 😅

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.

No problem, east coasters love turning smiles upside down. They're a very helpful people.

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

Did u get in ?

If you just want to be infantry, don't worry about your cfat score

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.

CanuckTV what’s better army or navy in Canada? I wanna get so ripped 😂😂

please say good things on my PR.... really trying to go for that advanced promotion

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.

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.

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

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

stop talking American poser we are Canadian

Fastnigellan Who is private Todd? He is not one of the people profiled.

He was in this platoon profiled in this show. He wasn't one of the main people, but he's there. He tragically died in Afghanistan.

Did you make it thru?

Ethan Clarke the real winter soliders

Ethan Clarke we just need the CADPAT wo (winter ops), but that's only for active duty

Was it cancelled?

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..

Steve WOllen hahahahaha a hearty laugh

KILL KILL KILL

They don’t teach that in the course anymore

Laroche kid is my brother, he did well, I leave soon for BMQ also

@@tannerlaroche tell us how things went for you!

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.

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!

🤣 yep that’s Canada for you

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

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!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GxGh9BGc_Po.html

+Keith Lapere yeah cuz very soon they're gonna be shirt on people

Short*

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

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.

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 😂

So I shouldn’t join ?

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

Michael Horsey and you should

I wanna come

Michael Horsey- did ya do it?

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..

@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.

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

If you don't pass the swim test, nothing happens.
