I‘ve heard it rumored that after 40 pushups, they will just write down 40, or 40+. Sometimes they stop people at 40, sometimes not (so I‘ve heard). Yes the minimum is 19, but when your file is reviewed do you want them to look at the PT results and see that you did the absolute minimum amount...

Stopped at 19? That‘s very odd. I was told (for infantry candidates) that they look closely at the physical fitness portion of your application and that it factors heavily into who gets selected ahead of who. I was told that 30-40 pushups and ditto on the situps would be considered "good"...

Theres no time limit on the pushups, but you can‘t stop once you start, it has to be continuous motion. You can go as fast as you want (provided you are doing them properly). The first time I was tested the guy told us that generally its better to go faster and get them done before fatigue...

I got 34 with my hands under my shoulders at CFRC Toronto on my second test. I got 30 the first time when the tester made me put my hands extremely close together. When I used to do pushups with a wider hand placement, where it feels comfortable, I could do 50-55 depending on how I felt that...

Yes its nice to hear an actual recruits‘ perception of what is going on in basic training. It‘s the hardest thing to find out in my opinion. Anyway, for those of you who haven‘t seen the recruit school week by week schedual (complete with pictures) here it is...

If you did 2 sets then you passed. The most they make anyone do is 3. If you flunk out after the first, then you fail, flunk out after 2 thats average, do the third one and you‘re above average.

Are you for real Pte_Lajeunesse? Are you actually acting tough on an internet message board? And D-n-A is not trying to scare you with BS, hes just mentioning that people with your attitude and behaviour don‘t do very well at basic training. It‘s a fact, and if you were as "educated" on the...

I‘m 28 years old and waiting for an offer for regular infantry.

I‘m interested to know what happens when you are REALLY far away from a CFRC. I browsed the CF recruiting sight looking for the nearest CFRC in relation to Prince Rupert B.C., and according to their postal code search option, my file would be handled by CFRC Victoria. My situation is this: I...

Congratulations, and good luck.

Just a thought, but if you are unable to do even 3 or 4 pushups a day after a chest workout, then you are going to be in serious trouble when you get to basic training. I understand that it can be nearly impossible to do any pushups immediately following a chest workout, I sometimes try to do a...

Hmmm, Maybe advising someone to exercise to a degree that landed you yourself in the hospital for a week isn‘t really good advice at all. Quote: "Dude just run 5k every **** day...thats the only way ure gonna do it there‘s now way around it," That‘s not the only way to acheive the minimum...

They do not exclude people outright for having done drugs in the past, however to think that they consider getting high a valuable life experience is.... silly. Everyone knows the military policy is 6 months abstinence from marijuana use to be considered for recruitment. There‘s no point...

What forms exactly? Did they take your finger prints? If yes, then they send those directly to CSIS. This is the stage of the process that can take up to 6 months. Generally it take about 8 weeks. If you mean all the references, and employment info that you provided for them, then they...

Depends on your induvidual file, things happen at different times for different people. Since you say your basic would be in July, I assume that you are going reserves? And that is the unit training schedual for this summers‘ course? Basically, the only good answer you will get to your...

They evaluate all the information they have obtained about you from the CFAT scores, the fitness test, the interview, your personal references, and anything else that they know about you positive or negative. They then assign you a merit score based on their criteria and how you fit into it...

Ya that is worth mentioning " Really, its more of a conversation, rather than an interview. Mine was very laid back and casual, and they like it if you show up early". Both my interviews were the most casual and laid back I‘ve ever had. I still treated the interview as professionally as I...

Saying that the pronounciation or spelling of a word should indicate its meaning is ludicrous. Unless you‘re talking about knowing the latin roots of the English language, you can‘t really problem solve a word. You might as well fill in the multiple choice A/C/D/C/A/C/D/C. Because you will...
