Investigation? Yeesh. I hope it's short, sweet and does nothing more than admit that "Operation Papa Burger has been a complete success" 

Go to a recruiting center, apply and you'll find out at your medical.

As always, the best thing to do is contact your local CFRC and get a hold of the medical staff there, however that being said, from what I've read during my own vision quest (HA!) around here, having 1 eye which is (for lack of a better term legally blind), would make you V5 and ineligible for...

***UPDATE*** Well, went for my appointment this morning, passed CFAT "Well above the requirements of my chosen trades".  Going over the information after the test, I'm also ok for quite a few other trade options should my vision fall into V4 instead of V3 for Combat Arms.  My medical was...

You too!  :camo: :)

There's a link at the top of this page to a thread dedicated to Vision Category & Acuity that I found very helpful (Thanks old medic!) http://forums.milnet.ca/forums/threads/31590/post-225087.html#msg225087 There's a PDF available in there which shows the requirements for specific trades. I...

Welcome :) Small world. My CFAT/Med/Interview is on the 30th as well (Although here in Winnipeg) and my primary choice was Armour as well!

Times change.  I have my CFAT, Med & Interview this week, but I'm expecting things to come to a slow crawl once that is done with, since paperwork needs to get sent farther down the line.  Still, even if I end up waiting 6-8 months longer, I still consider it worthwhile in the end.

Watching Master & Commander.  I sure wish they would have made a few more movies from the series...

I just spit coffee on my keyboard reading that.  :o

Good luck to you all!  :cdn:

I thought I was the only one who did that.  :rofl:

My wife just about fell over reading the weight...my only reaction was hearing Sir Alec Guinness in my head with "That's no moon...it's a space station"

This seems to be quite true. I live in the East Kildonan area and there's the occasional loud party but nothing much more than that.  I have some friends who used to live near Point Douglas and there would be regular intervals of gunshots, guys running around with knives, bats, and other...

Armour!  Granted I'm biased since that is what my Grandfather did and that's what I applied for as my primary choice    :rofl:

Mere minutes on the battlefield if you for some reason lay in front of the tires on your own vehicle before it starts moving.  I actually can't quite see any recruiter saying something like that.  Every time I've had a chat with one they were very concerned with checking out any careers I was...

Phew. Nice to know I'm not the only one confused by this thread.  Is it just an collection of threads that are already existing and stickied?  ???

CSIS has a list of careers that are available on their webpage. It would be better to look through there, instead of email asking about them hiring hackers. http://www.csis-scrs.gc.ca/crrs/thr-eng.asp Also, a good place to look for options with the Canadian Forces is right on their website...

I think I just went crosseyed  :rofl:

There was a thread posted a while back explaining the Visual Acuity for the Cdn Forces http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/31590.0.html Quite detailed and I found it helpful, now just to hope I qualify as V3 as well
