Miss Blackdown even more after watching this now. Truly Canada's best kept secret.

1:36 Mans went for the handshake

The revile gave me flash backs

I literally saw like 4 people from my core in this video

pt shorts are the best thing every issued. great for runs, they dry pretty quick and have zippers for the pockets. amazing.

I’m so proud of my little guy for being on there a lot :)

25:35 guy: the cadet program is one of the best secrets Also guy: tells this on KZfaq which is part of the internet

Anyone else remember running the whole base?😂

This takes me back… I did my GT at borden about 12 years ago now. I believe I was india company. I noticed they changed up the uniforms we had to wear the gray cadet shirt with cadet shorts, wool socks and cadet shoes lol

I’m so glad this was posted, GOLF 2k18

Wallace was in Trenton back when I did my GT... all I can say is that he got a lot of warnings. He wasn’t the most happy when he was removed from basic para due to injuries.

First I heard of this. Pretty exceptional.

The best MRE's ever

This made me cry

I’m going into drill camp in 2019 super happy to go back:)

i hope blackdown is open again next year my lil bro and me are enrolled and he wants to go to blackdown as well

UNBELIEVABLE I SHOULD JOIN!!!!!

this vid takes me back when i was there

Did anyone do Basic expedition this year

EXCELLENT.

Applying to blackdown this year for staffing hoping I get in!!!

im looking back at this now cause i was there that year, and i regret not getting some peoples social or numbers, i miss them!

Was there today was lots of fun

Let’s go hotel company shut out to tent 3 I am Drew Cadman one of the kids in the interviews

I am 51 - this brings so many memories from the 80's when I was a cadet in 1987 in Ipperwash. It was more military style then, and it was challenging every day. I imagine its nerfed these days with political correctness and woke culture. Still a great experience for kids today to get them off the PlayStation and doing lots of physical activity, learning discipline, and keeping off the streets and out of trouble. I would recommend cadets to any parent with kids 12 yrs and older.

will go this year

I head off for basic fitness soon and I’m curious about what else to expect. If anyone could help me out

Lemme guess this was serial 3? Cuz durin serial 1 n 2 the weather was hell

I miss my SI family ever more with each passing day :'(

INDIA COMPANY:Tent 9 Cadet griggs, you'll see my name on one of the lockers in there

Dose it have free wifi

I'm going to GT in June

my guy, I'm going this summer could i bring a Unicycle?

(I went to Trenton for GT) I chose the GT out of curiosity because the officers said it was going to be fun. I don’t get the fun. You wake up at 6:00 in the morning and do drill/PT. Then you march for 10 minutes to the mess hall, and you wait another 15 in line waiting to eat. After you’re done, you march back for another 10 minutes. You do more drill. Then you do some activities, lunch, dinner, etc... Everywhere you go is drill. Marching to and from the mess hall, waiting to eat, PT, activities, even attendance before you go to sleep. Sleeping is a huge problem in itself because you have to make your beds a certain way. I make my bed at home but all I do is put my blanket over my bed. Here you have to follow so many instructions and even there are certain creases that your bed must have or else they tear it down and you have to make it again. The beds are very uncomftorable with this way of making your bed. In the morning you have no time before you have to form up because you have to spend all your time remaking your bed from sleeping there the whole night. No freedom at all. If one person talks in drill it gets way harder and you have to stand in the sun for longer. I don’t get the fun of being yelled at and being forced to follow marching commands 90% of your stay there. Maybe they had it better, I don’t know. We did not do zip lining, marksmanship, etc...I had some fun moments there of course, but in my opinion its not worth it. That is just my opinion of course, so tell me if there

I was going to go to blackdown this summer, but corona happened

I was in hotel company at the camp

Cynthia warman was my friend!

Nothing on Alpha😭

RCAC 659 brock

They pay to be ther?

I am 47 - I used to be a Master Warrant officer and staff @ Ipperwash. Back in those days in the 80's it was proper military camp. The NCO's would kick your ass if were at all a slacker or not showing respect. Today it look like a typical 2019 environment. No discipline, safe spaces and support council. It looks like any other day camp for kids. Does having rank even mean anything these days?.

Aaah yes, black-down. Memories of Trauma, toxic 16 year old leadership and dumb disciplinary measures. I remember just forming up on the dirt road, waiting for the Military police and Staff to give us a good yell on, all because someone couldn't keep track of their wallet, blaming others for stealing it like some elementary tantrum. Fast forward, now currently in the military. This Never or Rarely will ever happen, with the exception of BMQ.
