Yes you‘ll be convicted if you plead guilty, or are found guilty. The references and volunteering and stuff will be taken into consideration by the crown counsel when they form a sentencing recommendation. You will almost certainly get a very soft slap on the wrist based on what you‘ve said...

You don‘t need to impress the recruiter, he needs to impress you. You DO need to impress the interviewer though. Keep in mind, nearly every recruit who is talking about going infantry wants to be a parareccesniper. They have a tendancy to play those skills down because expecting to get into...

(rec-ee) or (wreck-ee) say it fast, no pause between syllables.

If I was to take the test, and my 1 rep max is about 205-215lbs, would they let me decide how much weight to use? Or, do they make you do the minimum if you can‘t handle the 243lbs? Or, do they progressively add weight until you fail? If this is the case, it would be hard to do your actual 1...

First, You said that you‘ve been charged, but you‘ve yet to be charged.... I think you mean convicted. Your sentence will depend on many things (ie is this your first offence?, did you plead guilty?, are your parents involved?, have you ever done volunteer work, etc.) there are a lot of things...

oops, double post

The credit is only a portion of what they look at. They understand that most people have some form of debt to deal with. As long as you don‘t have severe debt, that you‘ve never tried to pay down, then you‘re probably in the clear. I myself am paying a collection agency for a defaulted student...

I was just kidding.

Well I originally applied about 2.5 years ago now. I had a weapons restriction still in effect at the time so they closed my file. I petitioned a judge to remove my weapons restiction, which he did, but when I took the legal documents to the CFRC they told me I had to wait for 6 months to...

One guy failed during my first testing session. I felt bad for him, but he was trying for res infantry so obviously he needed some more work.

Well, I have been through this process also. I have talked about it in a few threads, I‘ll try and track them down and link to them later. I can‘t really tell you what to expect in the long run. I can tell you that they ultimately granted me Enhanced Reliability Status after they reviewed all...

My advice would be to just continue until you are sure you have exhausted all options. If you‘re sure that you‘ve met a dead end with all possibilities in your area, then the next thing to consider is if it would be worth the commute time to go somewhere else. If it‘s not, then it‘s time to...

Fast and shallow breaths = bad Slow and overly deep breaths = bad Steady and controled breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth = good Cheating = spending the morning huffing oxygen from an O2 canister to oxygenate your blood. Cheating = putting a litre of your blood in the...

Anti war, anti military, anti governement, evironmental causes, etc. are a natural form of self expression for young adults. The same as a teenager likes to rebel against their parents for "more freedom", so do very young adults like to rebel against the system. For the most part, those people...

I don‘t know what the situation is today in Sea Cadets, but when I was in about 14-15 years ago we had days at the shooting range, all weekend campouts, and Quadra Isaland in the summer. For those with enough experience there was also a summer cruise on board a large size sailboat (I forget the...

Yes the physical fitness portion of selection is competetive, especially in the combat arms trades. I was told that 30-40 were good numbers for infantry candidates in regards to push ups and situps. I wouldn‘t worry though, because everything is taken into consideration, and having university...

Ya I‘ve seen that before, but things change really quickly in regards to procedure for the fitness test. There were noticable differences within the 6 months between my tests. As a matter of fact, when I did my last test they took a bunch of pictures of me for a presentation they were putting...

nbk, I am relaxed, if theres something about my post that has you thinking otherwise then you are misinterpreting it. I call Prince George rough because it "used to" have the highest violent crime rate per capita in Canada. I have been through some pretty nasty little Northern BC towns that...

I did mine in a group of 3 the first time, and alone the second time (there were 3 no shows. Can you imagine? Simply not bothering to show up for your PT test? and 3 on the same day?) With the group we did the step test all at once, then we each did our pushups in order of who was strongest on...

You are confused a little bit about about the difference between right and left wing politics. The military IS predominantly made up of right wing minded people. Just browsing around this Army forum should give you a sense of that. Right wing people tend to be more rigid and conservative in...
