I always had the best luck with small town girls, for some reason. I met a girl at Indigo bookstore in the Eaton Centre where she and I were both looking in the International Poli Sci section and after talking for about twenty minutes had an impromptu date at Jack Astor's then a movie. I notice...

Unfortunately, it's not. People high up in the CAF must not have much to do if they're making non-sense policies like this. Sometimes I feel like closing my file and trying my luck with the French Foreign Legion.

The two applicants my MCC said were denied waivers both had "offensive tattoos"; one had a decapitated Geisha head while the other had a Pentagram. I can sort of see why they would be offensive but Grim Reapers? Really? His argument was it can be associated with biker gangs and I said any tattoo...

The MCC is currently on a course so I won't know whether it'll be granted until the end of the month, according to him. Should I be denied what can I do to fight this? The CF Ombudsman?

Any short sleeve shirt can cover the grim reapers which are located on my bicep and and tricep; when I was in the Reserves and had the combats rolled up you couldn't see either of them. I have two full sleeves and everything below the elbow is "PC" apparently. The issue is just the reapers...

:facepalm:

I hope the PSO who he's sending the pictures to sees it that way. I want to believe they'll see the two tattoos in question as not being "vulgar, blasphemous, racist, sexist". My worry is I get a PSO who interprets it that way.

According to my MCC, it doesn't matter where the placement of the tattoos are. Both of the my tattoos that are deemed "maybe offensive" can be covered up and are usually covered up with just a short sleeve shirt. So its unlikely anyone will see it unless I am shirtless. I imagine the tattoo...

The first picture is just the reaper with text unrelated, while the second reads at the bottom "These violent delights have violent ends", a quote from Romeo + Juliet

There is no list that was presented to me stating that my particular tattoos were offensive, just that "they may be deemed offensive" and I need a waiver. What is the standard? How can they justify that they are blasphemous, vulgar, offensive etc?

And here I thought being honest and forthcoming was seen as honorable.

I was told it may be considered "blasphemous" and when I took pictures of them and sent them along with explanations I wrote what was essentially an essay explaining why they weren't, what they meant, my experience in public with them (which has been nothing as you can't see them unless I'm...

Only if you hold my hand

I need a waiver for my application process. I have two grim reapers that apparently, according to my MCC, may be deemed offensive

Can someone shed light on the tattoo policy for this fiscal year and how tattoo waivers work?

Do you feel America is in the same position in terms of global opinion and strength (military, economy) now as it was during let's say, the Reagan administration? Given how the last ten years have treated America with the Iraq war, financial crisis, debt and the rise of China and India I'd say...

Look through the "Basic Training" section of the forum for all you need to know. Finding the rank structure of the Army just requires a inquiry into Google.

So to update you all I have my Interview and Medical scheduled for this Thursday. I'm glad I have been approved for further processing and can only say that patience is a virtue; while the wait sucks just control the things you can like your physical fitness, knowledge of the CAF (especially the...
