Puckchaser was very polite, I'll be more direct. You've had bilateral medial & lateral meniscal tears, required bilateral surgeries with a complicated post-op recovery requiring further surgery. You are still not 100% recovered and have arthritis, and hope a custom knee brace will alleviate...

Great story. Big brass ones under their kilts.

Actually, it is the Chain of Command that is responsible for ensuring the health of our troops. Health Services can provide diagnosis, treatment, recommendations and advice, but at the end of the day, it is Commanders that are held responsible for their troops health and safety.

You might try 1-800-BPSO.  I suspect you would not be a competitive MMTP applicant without relevant military experience i.e. oblig svc, but am no expert on Terms of Service and oblig service requirements.

I'm not offended by your opinion, but I will have to disagree with your POV.  I have no idea what your particular circumstances are WRT your medical issues, but, the majority of our healthcare professionals belong to regulated professions (e.g. physicians, physio, pharmacist, nurses) with very...

If those are CF-18s per CBC, I foresee a name change on this forum:  Supersonic Max --> Subsonic Max.  ;D

These data are available and have been published by D Med Pol. IIRC, the two most frequently injured systems are the brain and MSK.

Actually, 144 out of 18690 is 0.77%. So, rounding up to 0.8% would be slightly less than 1% incidence.

Good advice from MM to see the Dental folks. Explain the functional problems you're having. Get it fixed before you get a COT out of MOSID 00183.  ;D. (See what I did there)

If you plan on staying on Vancouver Island (Esquimalt, Comox) then you may be disappointed.  I've spent some time with both the Army and the Navy. IMO, the best place to learn your trade as a Med Tech is an Army base like Edmonton, Pet or Valcartier. Once you learn your fieldcraft along with...

That looks like an inside-out slipon, since the seams should not be showing.  Unless things were totally different in the pre-1980's, I suspect that either "Canada" or "Unit" designators were used, not both Canada and Bn S. As GW points out, three Pte chevrons do not a Sgt make. I'm wondering...

Sean, you have a long road ahead of you whether you decide to join the military to not.  Your entry program would likely be the Medical Officer Training Plan (MOTP) - Google it. Before then, you will need to get accepted into an undergraduate Bachelors program and afterwards, gain acceptance...

I fear that in economic terms, "Onterrible" will live up to its nickname.  :(

Since ARs in Canada can only be used at a range, a more economical and available solution is an AR in .223. Ammunition is readily available in bulk, inexpensive to shoot, accurate.  Stopping power is not an issue when punching paper or banging steel.

Horse, meet open barn door. /sarcasm off

This comment would appear to be similar to an anti-Godwin's law.  Any concerns about limits on the state's power to surveil the populace makes one a potential terrorist sympathizer.  Very similar to the facile argument Vic Toews used to attempt to extend Bill C-30's  internet surveillance...

To the original poster: It's considered poor form to start two identical threads on the same topic. Furthermore, nobody here (except another applicant) is going to give you medical advice about the recruit  medical process. To AB:  You're right. You should stop speculating about topics outside...

Unless you are Navy, beards are typically not permitted in the Air Force or Army (sauf vous etes R22R ;D, et comme ASSAN, vous ne feriez pas partie des Van Doos). 

Only the RMO will be able to determine if your nystagmus disqualifies you from meeting the common enrollment medical standards.  Not the recruiting centre, not anybody on this forum.  You will need to wait for your file to be reviewed by the RMO.
