Thanks CDN Aviator, thats somewhat the answer I was looking for. I finally got a hold of my local Med Tech, she had been training for the last few weeks, and she informed me quite similar to what you said. She did say that there shouldn't be a problem since my cholesterol isn't high, just two of...

Thanks for the replies and PMs people! @CDN Aviator, you're in a trade close (I believe) to AC OP. Do you have any idea how they look at cholesterol levels for Aircrew trades?  Another source of information told me "The cut off point for total cholesterol is 6", mine is 4.7. Only my...

Even as a new user, I read through the different threads of what I was interested in. For example, I want to be an AC OP. When I wanted information on AC Op, I knew it was an Air Force Support Trade, so I looked through Air Force support trades and found the information. When I had a question...

So my file is on its way to Ottawa. According to my medical file, I'm an H-2 for hearing, V-1 despite the fact my left eye is a little weak so I wear glasses. CV-1... Blood work came back clean, urine is good, but the only thing I may have failed is my cholesterol. Mind you, my overall...

hahaha, thanks Scott. I'll put it in bullet form. It takes a month to reach my doctor here in NB, so I have yet to speak with them. My question is, because my cholesterol isn't horrible and my good cholesterol is just a little low while my bad cholesterol is sitting at a good level, would my...

Didn't see the doctor, results were provided to me from the clinic to bring to the RC. Appt for my doc is on March 5th. I'm 26, I don't drink beer, just the odd rum and coke, and I don't eat a lot of junk. Any breads I eat are wholegrain and I am not a fan of red meats. I smoke, working on it...

Hey all, So, as most of my posts indicate, I'm going for AC Op, ATIS Tech, and  AVS Tech. Due to AC Op being an airforce support trade, I was required to go for blood/urine tests. I got my cholesterol check, and was pretty disappointed by the results. I have an appointment for my doctor and I...

Hey dude, grats on the CFAT. Research your trades. You will be asked why you want them and what you know about them. I heard of a guy who was asked about why he wanted to joining infantry and he responded with, "You get grenades, a gun, and can kill without the killcam showing where you are."...

I do know they are mainly doing some medicals and interviews for people looking to apply for the RMC, my own medical was postponed until March, but got in in January only because of a cancellation. I'd wait another few weeks, then call back and ask for an update. Patience is definitely a virtue...

Yea, I have to do a blood test for my trade and cholesterol is one of those tests. I don't eat garbage foods by any mean nor do I 'believe' I have horrible cholesterol. I just worry about the little things here, lol.

Granted, however while cleaning, they tripped over a hockey puck and broke their leg, now you have to bathe them in addition to chores. I wish I had six tonnes of gold

All depends on where you are. Reserve training is usually on weekends or a few weeks in summer within area. If you want to know exactly where you would train, look up which of the regiments you wish to apply to. Infantry trades are Closed until further notice and some Reserve regiments are full...

Thanks Senf. It wasn't so much looking for a path to follow, but more of an opinion to sway me either way. I'll wait to see what Ottawa says first. Thanks. Now to fix my cholesterol...

Hey all, it wasn't so much for the 'face value' of the information being given to me considering that, its actually a glimmer of hope knowing that (although in different circumstances) people have gone through similar to what I have and have been accepted into the Forces. I started looking into...

If anyone during the recruitment process went through something similar, in my case where I've been 'issue free' and medication-free for 5 years, won't they accept that? I'm just confused over the "1-year off meds".

So, Eye exam went A OK. I also had my appointment with my Family Doctor who didn't get too too in depth on the form, but did mention that I am no threat to anything nor does she have a problem with me joining the forces or playing with grenades. However, since all the medications I was on were...

Hey everyone, Thank you all for the kind words of encouragement and the like. Went last week for my medical. Also spoke with the Sergeant concerning my Credit, which I passed. As foreshadowed in my earlier posts, I got H-2 on my hearing, which is the minimum for my trades, and due to my...
