Since November 2010 they wouldn't let me apply for Infantry knowing it was closed and unlikely to open. Last month I've been told by CFRC they KNEW it wouldn't open in April. I will give another call tomorrow. Let's just hope your recruiter was right.

I think you're talking about the fitness test they give to Reserve applicants. This one is prior to enrollment and BMQ.

You're right, it is not. I wanted to give him a general idea of distance/time since he never timed himself.
