    Updating medical while on Merit list?

    It's coming up 2 years since I did my medical test (April 2013) and was told a few months ago that I would need to redo the entire medical test if I reach the 2 year mark. I did the update one after a year of the original one, but that's when my application was still processing. Does anyone...

    Cut in weight, or should I be okay?

    That's the plan, I'm normally in the gym 4-5 days a week anyways. So, I'll just hop on the treadmill tonight and see what my base cardio level is at and hopefully design an effect cardio plan around that in time for BMQ.

    Cut in weight, or should I be okay?

    I've been working out for just over 2 years now in preparation for joining the Military. I was informed earlier today that I'm (finally) on the Merit list. Currently I'm bulking and sit at 6'3'', 215lbs. I want to say I'm roughly 15-16% Bodyfat, so it wouldn't hurt to lose a little. I've been...

    Just E-mailed my background, will it get looked at with centre being closed?

    I tried to make the topic title as short as possible. I heard that the Recruitment Center is closed until the 12th, which concerns me a little. I received an email from my file manger requesting me to obtain four different references because my current ones were invalid (spoke about this in...

    Thank you both for helping me out here. One last question. I plan on using my dentist, but the problem is it's not like the dentist and I speak all that much. The only time we would talk is when I go get my teeth cleaned. Also, my doctor probably doesn't have an email address, is it okay to...

    I'm thinking I may have the four references... Would these four be valid - Doctor Dentist Hair cutter/Barber And for my last one - I use to play paintball for 10+years and would always go to this one paintball place to play there. I also began to work there as of this year, would I be able to...

    I have a problem... I just received a call from the Recruiting Centre telling me that all my references are invalid (I've discussed this in the past and knew this day would come) and that I need to pick out four new references. The problem is... I don't have four references to use, I only have...

    1st, 2nd, 3rd choice

    Application was for the reserves, but I switched to Regular force and haven't had to fill out another application since the Reserve one.

    1st, 2nd, 3rd choice

    I'm seeing a lot of those signatures here that have peoples career choices with the Military. Is this something that they recently changed to, because when I did my application, it was only the one choice that I could choose, not numerous.

    When I filled out my application two years ago (I was originally going for Reserves, switched to Regular force) I only had to use four references. I put down two family friends, and two friends due to me not having a single professional or educational reference that I knew for 5+ years. I...

    Email from Reserves but joining Regular

    That's the plan for tomorrow, I contacted the RHLI's today but it wasn't the same person who sent the email about being sworn in. So I'm going to send an e-mail to the person that originally emailed me just to confirm that he had heard the news.

    Email from Reserves but joining Regular

    Little update on my situation - I contacted the RC and told them my situation, they had to call me back after checking over my file and such. Basically what happened is that my file has been transferred from Reserve to Regular but no one had got in contact with the RHLI (Resv unit I had...

    How to get family on board

    Appreciate it, this will definitely help with the parent side of things. Do you have anything for my friends though, or should I just tell them to live their own life?

    How to get family on board

    I have my application in for the Regular force. My mom is completely against me joining the Military because as she says I'm "Signing up to die" and doesn't understand about all the great career opportunities and where the Military can take me in life. I've explained to both my parents about...

    Natural Knee cracking sound

    When I was doing my testing for reserves my knees and shoulders were cracking when I was doing the pushups/squats. They mentioned the cracking and  asked if it was painful. It wasn't, so I told him and we continued on without an issue.

    Email from Reserves but joining Regular

    And I'm assuming the reason for that is simply because there is more Reserve members trying to go regular force than there is Civilians, creating a longer list to pick through?
