Have you cosidered a chiropractor? When I had problems with my feet I did indeed go to the doctor's, however she referred me to a chiropractor instead. Not sure why but I wasn't one to ask lol. The chiropractor was the one who actually administered tests to determine what was wrong with my feet...

When I started to run, I would get shin splints all the time. After a good run I would stretch my legs out real good. I mean really good. I'm not sure how successful this is for others, but after a couple of weeks of doing this, I noticed a significant decrease in pain. Mind you, it didn't go...

Booked my CFAT today for the 27th of October at CFRC Hamilton for 8:45 AM. It's unfortunate that I always tend to get nervous when speaking to Military personnel, especially at the recruiting centre. When the recruiter on the other line picked up, he greeted me and everything, I proceeded on to...

Went to the Ontario University Fair today in Toronto at the Toronto Metro Convention Centre (of which I might add, in the North building a Yu-Gi-Oh card tournament was taking place :P) . Attended the RMC presentation and also talked to a couple of recruiters at the booth (the presentations of...

Came home from school today to message left on the answering machine. It was my file manager asking that I contact him back in order to book my CFAT. I won't be scheduling the appointment just yet and will most likely book it on Monday. Since the CFRC here is open until 4:30 in the afternoon...

My apologies. However I did not state that my post above was the exact rule or "gospel" as you say. The last thing I want to do is to confuse or lead someone in the wrong direction. I gave an opinion hoping to help someone and that answer was constructed through the wealth of knowledge and...

Damn that sucks. As slamball said, since it's ROTP you are still in the clear regardless if it is 6 to 8 weeks. Hope you get better soon man.

Looking through the forums, I think the general idea is that you must not be in 3rd or 4th year. Otherwise the will just tell you to finish and apply as a DEO (Direct Entry Officer). If you happen to be in your first or second year, they may still take you.

Nice, thanks for the info! Didn't know they pay for your trip. Seems like taking a taxi isn't looking like such a bad option now ;).

Indeed. At least you passed, I still have to worry about passing haha. If the CFRC would be able to book all my testing for this Friday that would be fantastic, seeing as I have that school day off. Being that the CFRC closes at 4:30, and I now have no ride anywhere until 5:00, taking the bus to...

Nice to see you are moving along as always Canada94 :) . If you do not mind me asking, what were your personal thoughts on the CFAT? Through your personal experience was it difficult? Easy? Today the CFRC contacted me. Unfortunately, the first time they called was during school. I guess me not...

Roger. If you don't mind me asking, throughout the waiting period between you submitting your application to the point where you received a call about the CFAT, did you ever call the CFRC and inquire about any updates to your file? Thanks

Yeah man for sure, keep going for it; that's the right attitude. Sorry if my post made it seem like marks are everything but that wasn't what I was getting at.

Looking good buddy! Guess it's time to start brushing up for the CFAT eh? It's been 9 days since I submitted my app. Hopefully they won't take any longer to contact me than they did to contact you :) . :salute:

Yes, for reserves it is a step test in the CFRC. Not sure how many steps it would be. And I don't understand; You say you are coming down with runner's knee, and you want to practice the step test instead, however, both running and going up and down on steps use the same muscles, and work the...

I don't really know why Fotoshark is saying that you do not need your diploma. And I'm not one to argue, but if I was you, I would bring it just in case. I'm just going off what the supported document says, and it says to bring, under section 5 of the source documentation,: "Diplomas...

Is that average you mention just your grade 12? How are your academic grades from grade 9 - 12? How are your extracurriculars? There have been cases where people have been admitted with low 70s but have copious amounts of extracurriculars. Going into reserves while in Civvy U then going into...

To get transcripts from High school, you would have to head on over to the guidance office/department at that high school and request for your transcript. I know for a fact they want your official hard copy of your transcript if you're going to bring a high school transcript. That includes...

I'll leave questions A and B to more experienced members of the community... however I will give my take on question C. Basically you cannot assume that what you were taught and what you did such as drill and other commands is exactly what they teach you at Basic Training. Every military has...

Always better to be safe than sorry. Currently I'm in an application process as well into the Canadian Forces and I plan on calling every 2 weeks. The recruiting centre typically deals with many many people and I'm assuming it is easy for your files/application to get caught up and lost in the...
