Basic Training

During 14 weeks (one week is dedicated to arrival procedures and the other 13 weeks to training), the Basic Military Qualification course provide Regular Force recruits with the basic common core skills and knowledge necessary to perform their duties during their career. (Forces.ca)

Make sure you are ready for basic training by getting ready to do 2.4 km runs, push-ups and sit-ups because you will be doing a lot of them. Will also be a 14 km march later on during your training.

During training, your typical daily routine will be something like this:

5:30 am
Wake up!
5:45 am - 8:10 am
Physical fitness training, breakfast and morning inspection
8:20 am - 12:00 pm
Instruction
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Lunch
1:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Instruction
4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
Dinner
6:00 pm -11:00pm
Homework, prepare for morning inspection, personal time
11:00 pm
Lights out
Or you could be on night training – in the rain (or snow).

I think that for most people it will be harder than they expected. but when its over you would feel much more proud of yourself to have accomplished basic training.
