I don't see it as pampered though.  I see it as an obligation.  I am a Christian and if someone cannot afford health care (as many can't in countries where health care is a for profit business), it is my obligation to help them.  Maybe there are people who disregard Duty and Responsibility but I...

Yes, you're entitled to your opinion but it came across very sarcastic and disrespectful to me.  That's just the way it seemed.  If you weren't, then that's fine.  It doesn't matter if someone is lazy or not.  They are Canadian citizens and thus, have as much right to health care as you have...

I don't think you're starting a flame war. What I don't understand is if one could do the express test because they failed the BFT, what is the point of the BFT?  I would think ALL combat arms personnel would be required to pass the BFT, not take a shot at passing the express test because they...

Ok, I'm going to assume it's fine to be disrespectful and sarcastic...contrary to the rules that I "thought" I read when I joined.  I never said that our system does not have problems; it has many problems.  But it is my belief that citizens have the right to health care and it should be...

I thought the 13 k was only for the recruit course? 

All of which I didn't think my question was.  :salute:  Now, what was silly about the question?  What flew in the face of common sense?  There are people who are against socialism and that's fine, but then why be all for our health system?  That's a tad inconsistent, don't you think?  Next...

What the heck is that supposed to mean?  Was there a REASON for you to  ::)? No, I don't think so. :salute:

I'm just wondering if people that are against socialism are against our health care system?  Our system has it's problems but I believe in the fundamental right of all citizens to have access to health care. :cdn:

;D  You guys are right.  The PT requirements aren't too difficult, although I have gotten to where I could do the distance but still have to get within the time limit.  I was just saying that the U.S. military has remedial fitness training but I failed to remember that it is indeed, for those...

Will do.  Thanks.

Good points guys.  Even the U.S. military has "remedial" fitness training courses, etc.  They don't kick you out right away.  Can we afford to be stricter than them? I don't think so.

Thanks for your reply.  Well, I had no fitness routine because I was battling some kind of illness for over a month.  So I understand that, about the fitness.  As for the mistakes, I agree.  It depends on the mistakes.  However, just to make it clear;  my mistakes in no way involved the law. ...

Well Scott, I do appreciate your input.  Thank you very much.  Yes, I hate a moving ladder.  I can handle that more than when my friends are doing the moving though.  Yes, I was on a ladder before and my friends were shaking it.  Scared the crap out of me.  :threat: It is nice to hear how...

I apologize for starting up this old thread but I feel I'm following the rules. I have had my file closed a couple of times only to start the process again.  The last time, I failed the interview and the officer did not say that I cannot apply again but I was left with the impression that I...

Well, I tried to get back in the military and the officer who interviewed me said a few things to me that I did not appreciate hearing.  I am new here so I won't post what he said, but I wasn't impressed. Maybe they should focus on the people who do want to join eh?

I've been reading for a while and this is my first post and I want to say hello. I also want to apologize for bringing up an old thread but I thought it was interesting.  As much as I'd love to be a firefighter, it probably can't happen for me eh?  I have no experience in the field, I am almost...
