Wake up you wuss. You're setting yourself up for a wolrd of hurt with that wimp attitude. What are you really worried about?? Sombody calling you names? Smacking you in the face? Getting sworn at by some drill instructor? I'm sure nobody in your unit is going to "beat you up". You're joining a...

Right on! He is a master of submission from his back - arm bars and triangle chokes are perfect when some ape is trying to punch your lights out from the top! Man, I wonder if him and Chuck would ever square off. I remeber watching Royce in the early UFC matches where there was basically no time...

Wow, when was the last time Royce fought? That guy must be getting pretty old now. I bet he could still kick some serious  MMA ass!

The most practical of all the martial arts out there has got to be Jui-Jitsu. Other sport martial arts (tae kwon doe, karate, blah blah) are totally useless if the fight moves closer than kicking or punching range. Once two are tangled in a "clinch" or grapple - punches and kicks are not really...

What do they do there? Based on the info the recruit gives them, and based on what the medical staff find at the recruiting center - what more needs to be checked? I was told that if i'm lucky i'll hear in a bout 6 weeks about the medical from Borden! The only doctor form i had to submit was for...

Man...I can't wait to do that. Its been a long road for me and i'm just waiting to hear back regarding my background check and the medical!!!! CONGRATS to you dude!!  :)

Ahhh, ok - thank you very much for the response kincanucks.  :salute:

If the refrences turn out to be garbage, when would one  find out during the application process?

I just passed my PT a few days ago and i'm just waiting now to hear the phone ring with some good news. I'm applying for Reg. INF and I'm pretty excited! I'm hoping to finish my degree I started at Dalhousie with the military.

Congrats to everyone who got in!!!!!!! Waiting for the call too...background checks and medical review pending. Interview was on March 14, 2006.  :salute:

The recruiting process takes a long time...it doesnt happen overnight, or tomorrow, or next week. Thats been my experience so far anyway. Oh and watch out at Dalhousie...that place is dangerous.  :skull:

No - don't take the offer. Leave a spot open for another candiate that doesn't mind the 5 month wait. I'm sure there are plenty more to fill your shoes.

How many years is the Reg. INF contract for? During that time period, will I have any opportunities to advance my civilian education (almost done a 4 year university degree)? Will I still be able to participate in hobbies like jiu jitsu or other martial arts that are not offered on a base? Will...

Yeah coffee!

The waiting time is agonizing. I have applied several times to the CF and it takes forever. The excitment of joining is kind of fun though - gives you somthing to look forward to (or potentialy disapoint you). The staff is always extremely professional and helpful. Here's a question from a...

I have a question...do they hold your feet when you have to do the situps? Because doing situps without the feet held down is pretty tough. I hit the gym the like every other day for weight training, but I can't seem to get past 28-30 pushups consecutively. I also do ab work using a Ball and...

Actually, no thats not what the Army said when they rejected me because of it. They said it caused the skin to become over-sensitive to the sun. They didn't understand the risks of too much sun expossure while on the medication. They said I had to be off of it for 6 months and they apply again...

Thank you very much for the response.

I have applied several times to the CAF. Once to RMC, then as a NCO INF, again later for Pilot, and now again for NCO INF. I wasn't accepted into RMC because of my high school grades :( Despite being a great athlete (Rugby MVP, Soccer MIP, captain of both, and generally in good shape), I was...
