    Joining the army as FSA

    That's likely because what you will do as an FSA is miles apart from what an accountant or other financial services advisor would do civvy side. Military FSAs do travel claims, pay bills, and some other stuff. But they don't really touch the unit's finances or personal finances.

    Infantry

    That will depend on your availability and theirs. If you are applying for reg F (full time) you do not do the force test prior to leaving for basic. Only reservists do it prior to enrolment. The medical exam may also need to be reviewed by the RMO in Ottawa, prior to approval.You also need an...

    Background-Check/Security-Screening Processing: Summer BMQ possible?

    If you have completed all the steps (medical, interview, force test, CFAT) then the rest is a waiting game. You are never guaranteed of an offer, so I would not hold my breath for a summer BMQ this late in the season. Only way to know with more certainty is to contact your recruiter and ask if...

    How long will it take to get to bmq

    keep in mind at 16 you also need your parents to sign off on your application. You are never guaranteed a job just for applying so depending on how long it takes you to get through all the steps, it can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years from the time of applying to get to BMQ.

    DND2780

    Depends on how many applications are received at the same time as yours and how they get sorted when received. That part I don’t know about. Also what you consider normal/healthy and what they consider normal/healthy for military service can be 2 different things. Really looking at anywhere from...

    DND2780

    You bring the form to your doctor, have them fill it out, and then return it to CFRC for review. They will forward it to the RMO’s office with your file and if approved, your file will continue processing.

    I really want to apply to be a reserve once I receive my PR and need advice.

    BMQ is typically offered 2-3 times a year for reserves: part-time in the fall, sometimes part time in Jan/feb, and full time in the summer.

    So I really cant do anything if I need an Epipen?

    Perfect. It was a thought that drifted through my head in the treadmill and just made me wonder. Thanks for clarifying!

    Sewing kits, and related kit.

    White thread, black thread, a few short buttons, safety pins, sewing needles (any needle works - straight, curved, just not super fine. A needle threader is a good addition. Tiny pair of scissors.

    So I really cant do anything if I need an Epipen?

    Here’s a thought that just occurred to me… Combat gauze is made with shellfish is it not? Like the protein and combat gauze and quick clot that makes the blood clot some kind of shellfish protein? Maybe that’s why a shellfish allergy is such a big red flag for the RMO.

    So I really cant do anything if I need an Epipen?

    The CEMS haven’t changed yet. They are considering changing them, but don’t hold your breath. It may be years or decades before they change. the best way to fight your denial (assuming you have officially received a denial) would be to prove you don’t need an epi-pen. That doesn’t mean...

    So I really cant do anything if I need an Epipen?

    But you are not just putting yourself at risk. You are putting your entire section/platoon at risk. While you are the only one who will experience the anaphylactic response, you will require a medic to treat you in the field as well as 4 people to carry the stretcher you will be laying on...
