I just got back from Shilo, Manitoba, Canada where my oldest guy,Robert 17, graduated from his BMQ (Basic Military Qualification) and SQ (Soldier Qualification).
He is a member of the 700 Communication Squadron (Reserves) on CFB Borden, near our house in Cookstown.
He still has to finish another semester in High School. After that he is considering a few different options.
During the parade they called out his name for Most Improved in his Platoon. MO let out a pretty good "Whoo Hoo".

Mo and her boy with the "I can make my own bed now!" Award:D

He he is talking with the Brigadier General of the Communications Reserves when he got his award (a little blurry from the zoom)

He is the 5th from the right (Count bodies not heads, looks like he is concentrating way too hard!:D )
