Thank you so much for doing this! I’m supposed to enrol some time in the near future so it’s really nice to know what I’m getting into. There isn’t enough content on this. Also, really nice to know that other UofT kids are making it work. Thanks!
Congrats on your first weekend! I’m excited to see more videos in the future about your BMOQ
Much love thanks for keeping us to date. This will hopefully be me in a bit!
Hi Maam Kyra. I would like to join the CAF in the near future, but I am only 4'9" would they allowed me to join? Thanks in advance.
Of course! Height isn't a restriction.
So is this whole process at your home unit?
I need help with the CFAT I'm worried about the math questions and English I want to pass it.
@@KyraNankivell June 2020 at this moment I'm in the adult education doing LBS and soon in March Grade 10 math and English Grade 12.
Theres an app u can download that's very similar, its not sponsored or endorsed by the Canadian forces its completely third party but if ur good with that u should be fine
Rahul Rai What’s the app?
Hi, do they cover travel expenses every weekend? Thank you
What are the required numbers and times for push up, pull up,and sit up and the distance and time for the running of BMQ? Thanks.
Minimum is 20 pushups ,31 situps, 7 pull ups, 1 mile run must be under 7:30 minutes, 600 m rushes 2:30 min. These are standards to try and meet.
@@KyraNankivell The pt sessions just need attendance. The standard of fitness is best to try to maintain to make life easier on course. However para courses you must meet tht to qualify.
Hey,did you by any chance notified your CoC about uploading the videos relating to CAF and notified the public affairs officer?
What was the process of letting them know and did they gave you any restrictions on what you can and can't say? I was asked to go on an American military RUclipsr and I need to be sure that I don't mess anything up
BMOQ is after passing BMQ, right ?
They’re two separate streams, you’ll take one or the other depending on if you’re an Officer or NCM!
BMOQ - Basic military officer qualification (basic for officers)
BMQ - Basic military qualification (basic for NCMs)
Is the bmq mandatory for everyone ? Even if I wanna go in as a firefighter or something along those lines ? Vehicle technician?
What is the standards for the appearance of a person in the BMQ?
Hey there, Kyra! I heard you say you're not representative of the CAF. I want to tell you, yes! Yes, you are! We all are who wear the uniform. The reserves is a valid and useful part of our organization. We are a single organization made up of thousands of different and unique people! As I'm sure you've noticed by now, it's our diversity that really makes us succeed. Everyone learns differently based on experiences. And one of the best things people can know about us is that we're human. 😊
If you came through basic as the pandemic hit, you will have experienced the weirdest entry into the CAF ever. My wife went from the intensity of BMOQ to working from home for two years. Talk about extreme change of pace!
These videos are awesome! You're doing great work and I hope another generation of CAF members were inspired to join because of you. Keep up the great work!

Do you know the CFAT scores for the requirement for jobs like
Cooking and Etc?
@@KyraNankivell will it be easier to get into part time position than full time after doing the CFAT
Finally a new video about training
At bmq (or bmoq in your case) is it true that there are communal showers?
@@KyraNankivell thank you! Your content is super helpful. Good luck with your training
Thanks a lot Kyra! These videos help a lot!!
Hey Osiris, that's great to hear!! Thank you so much for the support :)
You seem like a very bright girl. Thank you so much for the advice, experience and transparency! I have my phase 1 CFAT in February. Maybe I'll see you around haha!
Congrats on the first week of BMOQ! Good luck on the finals, I just finished mine, also had to deffer one of them.
Do you know if part-time BMQ/BMOQ and full-time are the same (for reservists)? I'm supposed to complete my BMQ during the summer and I was just wondering if our days would be similar
@@KyraNankivell Ok thanks, will do!😜
Good luck on bmoq you'll do great , question in the reserves for easy do you put your arms by your side or are they infront crossed over like right arm over left arm cause in cadets in my squad anyways some people do just arms down and the other people just cross their arms. Thanks in advance for the awnser good job on bmoq again you'll kill it
In Reg. Force you are taught to keep your arms to your side as well. I was taught you were only allowed crossing your arms in front of you if you are a Chaplain or an MP, and that is when you are at ease and not at attention
Hi Kyra, thanks for sharing your experienmce. I have a question in regrads to the kit. Are all your kit brand new or used? And if used, are they clean or you have to clean/wash them yourself?
How many weekends a month for a reservist ? Also do u dedicate any weekdays?
While I was in BMOQ it was 2 weekends a month on average and then one I had one weekday evening (7-10pm) with my unit
question: what PT test was that? Why didn't they start you with the FORCE eval? Or is it based on the RMC tests?
Hi! Long time! Great video, thanks for the update and good luck! Can you do a video about the equipment issued to you pls! Thx again
I hope to be joining and running the combat engineer as well!
From my experience, combat engineer is one of if not the most physically demanding trades. Make sure you are in top shape before enrolling in order to have an easier time once you complete basic and are sent off to Gagetown for training. A couple of buddies of mine are in the combat engineer building and the PT they tell me they have to do is extremely intense
Hey guys! I got out a couple of months ago now. If anyone looking to join up has any questions feel free to ask me
Good luck on course!
is it required to be covid vaccinated before entering the canadian army???
No hate here... hope you post more! :) tough it out and keep smiling
What would happen if i can't do pull ups or push ups?
You definitely look worn out from all the day’s activities. 2-weekends in a month for about 12-weeks(I think) must have a dent on your social life and your friendships ?
Is it a good idea to do 4 sets of 100 pushups at 4:30 am each day for 6 months before QMB?
Kyra Nankivell Actually, I do three-cycles such as Endurance, Hypertrophy and Force with yoga after a workout. I don’t decide what I can do, this is always my body. I can only keep my mind to do. Merry Christmas.
Hey I’m in the process of joining full time for a vehicle tech where in Canada are you from ?
Kyra Nankivell hey im from Orangeville is it possible if I can ask you like a bunch of questions 😅
Kyra Nankivell
Haha well you said you have joined for mechanical what type of mechanics are you doing
My husbands in as a vehicle tech, we're in Trenton. If you have any questions for him, shoot!
Emilie MacDonald that Would be amazing if he doesn’t mind !
@@brendanmagennis1892 ok! Are you on the Canadian forces applicants FB page?? I'll find you through there and get you in contact with him 😊😊
