No, what they're saying is that if you have to take medication then the CF may not hire you, and it will do you no good hiding it.

Great, thanks for the answer.

Hey now, the way he tells it he doesn't seem so bad!  ;D

Good day, I was just wondering if there are any regulations that prevent members from wearing surplus clothing from other countries' militaries while off duty. For example, I have a Soviet Era greatcoat which I like to wear when the thermometer drops below -20, am I allowed to wear it?

Just curious, how much does the inaccuracy of a movie affect your enjoyment of it? It will bug me a little but if the movie has a compelling story and good performances I will be very willing to watch it again. For example, that Company of Heroes movie, I like Tom Sizemore as an actor so I am...

With regards to an application on hold, in my specific case, my application was put on hold and I was required to get a letter of reference from my family doctor as well as a specialist whom she sent me to. I then had to get my doctor(s) to write notes to the CFRC stating that whatever reason...

Got it. Thanks.

Thanks, I think I might go with the G shock 5600 line, its apparently their smallest one and at around $45 it's not a huge deal if I lose it/break it.

Hmmm...looks like I might just have to get used to a big watch.

I'm looking to get a watch, but I have skinny little chicken wrists and I hate wearing watches because the faces are always too big and they slide around. What's a watch with a good small face? I've been looking at the marathon line of watches but that's mainly because of the LCF. I'd also...

The Army Reserve is a part of the CF just like the Reg Force is. As far as I know, since Reserve BMQ is only 20 training days, and Reg Force BMQ is 10 weeks, if you decide you want to Component Transfer from Reserve to Reg force on completion of Reserve BMQ, you will have to re-do BMQ, this...

Both my parents are immigrants, and thanks to them, and a culture which accepted me and allowed me to "assimilate", I am in no way different than my friends who are 12th+ generation Canadians. Even if I was, that's what makes this country great. It was built by immigrants. You can't force a...

Good day, I just received a call from my recruiter and I'm going to the armoury to get sworn in on Tuesday. Whether I will be a success in the CF remains to be seen, but nevertheless I would like to take a moment to thank the users, staff, and owners of army.ca. Army.ca has given me some...

Thank you very much. I wish you luck and good health.

I know, the way I wrote it makes me seem very scatterbrained. Let me try to clarify. Basically, I would like to spend my youth and into my late 20s in the Military and then, when I am older and am looking for a career in which I do not have to move around and is more conducive to having a...

Hello, I'm 17 years old and hopefully soon will be enrolled in the Army Reserve. I'm planning on doing a four year university program and then, if I still want to, CT to the Reg Force. However, lately I have been considering the possibility of, instead of going to a traditional college or...

In addition to that last link, the Ontario government is now allowing all officers to carry "conducted energy weapons" (Tasers), however each police service is responsible for the decision whether or not to issue them and must cover the cost. More at link...

I know some of you have experience in the LEO fields but for those who don't I found this video on Officer involved shootings quite enlightening. http://www.forcescience.org/hollywoodvsreality.html

There is a new video in which the guy fires several rounds out of it and the chamber evidently began to show some wear after 14 rounds were fired through it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKsJe11itb4
