    Another Boring Rant on US Politics

    Ok, try not watching farenheight 9/11 for a whole week alright? Can you provide some examples? Is feeling safe a bad thing?  Yes, individuals have rights and those should be upheld but the society also has rights that supercede individual rights in some circumstances IMHO.  Anything...

    video from CFLRS

    Yes, it still links to the basic training page on the recruiting website but it does not show the two videos that were once there.  The only video that remains is the one on the CFLRS website which is here:  http://www.cflrs.forces.gc.ca/english/site/index_e.asp

    Medical Rejection: How to Appeal? [Merged]

    The medical boards and selection boards are completely different.  However you cannot get to the latter without clearing the former.  Your CFRC probably won't send your file to the selection boards until your medical has cleared.  Venero, the medical will take longer if you have any major...

    The Depression / Anti Depressants Merged Thread

    I was on Paxil for about 18 months, I got off in '02.  I have been absolutely symptom free since then but they still made me get a psycholigist's letter to prove that.  It wont make a difference if you go PRes or Reg, they both have the same standards.  The only thing I can think of that would...

    The General Hillier Years. The Merged Superthread

    This may be a dumb question but did Henault favour the Air Force over the other elements?  Or was he a lame duck all around?

    Regarding April Selections

    The selection boards are only for the Regular force, in the reserves the application is through your regiment so after your interview your file goes back to them instead of going to the selection boards.

    The Grip Strength Superthread- Read Here First

    Well youll have to wait six months for a new physical unless you want to pay the $32 for a new one. Answer to your other question, have you ever had any problems with the bones in your hands?  This probably isnt the case, you just need to start working on the muscles that will help improve your...

    Canada will send troops to areas of the world levelled by last week's tsunamis

    He's talking about CFB Esquimalt right?  Thats pretty sad when the MOD dosent know where the naval base on the west coast is.

    Fitness Test

    Yes, the physical does expire after six months. If I were you I would not wait for the CFRC to call you, give them a call and ask them if you do in fact need to update.  You may also need to do another interview.
