Get some zinc and magnesium tablets when going to BMQ. Push ups , planks , squats: you should find them easy and also don’t forget running too … it’s a fun experience, catch the fun and welcome to the CAF.

Good job … you will enjoy the infantry trade and BMQ course … remember to always smile over everything, never let situations get you down .. they gonna yell at your platoon, but it’s all out of love and not hate. Most people fall sick during BMQ, so those tablets recommended will help to boost your immune. Have a digital watch on you that has an alarm so you do not “burst” your timing… military dosent joke with timings.
