Thank you combat medic and everyone else for the replies. I will try getting a doctors letter tommorow morning.

How do they check up medical history?? Do they call the doctor or something??

Also i didn't mention that i am 100% healed up now. So that is the main reason i was asking the question.

I never had any broken bones or problems in my medical history before, but this year on March i was struck by a vehicle as a pedestrian and was injured, no broken bones, just bruised up and had some problems with getting full motion back in my left knee. The mri didnt show any problems. Anyway...

PARAMEDIC, How long has your process been taking so far from the time you stepped into the recruitiing office?

They dont want you chest to the floor, they make you look straight and touch the floor with your chin.

Thx man, some of them are pretty good.

So what kind of things should you do to get a chance of going to the ranger course, just wondering because I am currently in the process of joining the Canadian Army (Infantry reg force) and probably would be interested to go if I had the chance.

Depends on the tester, mine told me to have my elbows touching my sides all the time and if they didn't he wouldn't count them.

They made me tuck my elbows to my sides, I guess it depends on who you get to test you.

Alright time to learn some.

Anyone got any tips in raising push up number. I have been stuck at my current number of 30 - 35 push ups max for about 3 months and i cant raise my number at all. I can raise my bench press number also have been stuck on it for a long while also. My friend told me i should something like a...

I have family and friends that served in France, Germany, Poland and Australia and they have brought up the topic of military cadences at one time or another. Now back to topic, Some good motivation music is from the Black eyed peas new album. I mean i put some of that stuff on my mp3 and it...

I didnt say "Every" military in the world sings them, I said "Almost Every" Im from the european descent so i know for a fact that most countries there have cadences and it is mandatory to learn them.

Hey i just quoted the tester guy, i didnt say i will stop at 30. I can do 200 situps and 30 pushups right now. Trying to raise my number to minimum 60 push ups before bmq.

Damnit, i was hoping to learn some military cadences when i enter bmq and so on. I mean almost every army in the world sings cadences. They give the military a good vibe and make you feel more powerful, dang this is a big disappointment. P.S The Ranger cadences are kick ass.

Funny thing is when ever someone asks me why i want to join i say the same exact phrase "Its just something i have to do" ------- Whoa, never thought this would be a topic breaker. The reason why i was asking this question is because i have completed 2 of my test so far in the application...

Yeah the english part i expected it to be the easiest of all, when i saw some of the words i was like  :o

The tester told me that the minimum push ups and sit ups anyone should do before BMQ is 30.

Is our army becoming better, staying the same or going downhill ??? Please provide examples.
