You're only two weeks clean from doing drugs?  I wouldn't follow you anywhere.

In the military many perks/courses go to the guys who are fit.  Your reputation in the army starts in BMQ and trust me....it will follow you to the regiment. Give 110% and do the best you can.

Requiring soldiers to be clean shaven while off duty and on leave is ridiculous.  Other than that I agree with the other mandates.

You're young and you want to experience combat....with how it is glorified in video games and movies these days I wouldn't say that it's a big shock that someone your age would want to see what it's all about. Let me give you a piece of advice from someone who has been there done that....be...

My info is a few years old but to give you a ballpark figure here.  I left for basic in Jan 2007 and arrived in Petawawa in Oct of that year.  So we were apart roughly 10 months.  Mine was a best case scenario though as I only spent 2 weeks in holding (pat platoon).  The stars sort of aligned...

Here are the answers to your questions: 1) You're not going to have to pee yourself....but you may be expected to exercise some bladder control every now and then 2) You will have your wisdom teeth removed if you need them removed.  You have a say...but if they are hurting you will probably...

True..but from my experience I've seen some of the ladies out there who just want to say read in peace and can't because everyone and their mother is trying to chat her up. Wasn't referring to harassment so much as potentially being annoyed.

I don't get why younger female recruits are so concerned with getting "harassed" by lesbians.  If I were a female and just wanted to do my job without being bothered and hit on....I'd be far more concerned when it's time to go out into the field or on tour with a bunch of combat arms guys who...

It's a well known fact that when you walk into the recruiting centre you are challenged to a fight.  If you win the fight you are offered a job......if you lose you are not considered "rough" enough for the military and you are kindly asked to leave. Seriously....the military is no different...

What do you propose?  The CF create new trades because people with Biology degrees want to work in their field?  I'm not trying to sound like a jerk but you chose your degree. 

Just curious....how did you pass the CFAT the first time but then fail it a second?  What also has me kind of curious is you are asking about what kinds of questions are on the test.  You've already done it twice.....you should know what to expect. As for advice....study harder

What are the changes they made to the course?  I'm hoping one of them is that you can finally fail it again.  Absolutely ridiculous that it was a gimme course for a couple years

Nice to see a youngster with a head on his shoulders and worrying about his future at a young age. Your plan seems pretty normal to me...however...you stated that you don't plan to stay in the CF forever.  Pretty normal....however one thing to keep in mind is this.  After 10 years in the CF you...

Can they can your application? Absolutely.  Why?  For pretty much any reason they want. I've seen guys applications get canned for reasons such as, they are pumps, they are not liked by the CoC, and more commonly....the application sits on a desk forever lost in purgatory.

Check out NZSAS First Among Equals and SAS The Search for Warriors. Two documentaries available on youtube that follow candidates on selection for New Zealand and Austalian SAS respectively.

The new vehicles coming in won't open up any new spots....in fact the recce vehicles could actually cost spots in the troops to be lost as from what I've heard it's a crew of 3 rather than 4. As for whether or not you get to choose tank or Recce....as far as I know for the most part you will...

Sure, down the road releasing for the CF and walking right back into a CFRC is an option but keep in mind that the wait could be a while before you get back in. I've contemplated releasing and trying to get back in in a different trade (as OT's are tough to get these days).....but at this point...

Keep in mind that getting an OT or commission from the ranks is FAR from a guarantee.  When Afghanistan was still going strong...combat arms guys were laughed out of the BPSO's office when they tried for an OT. Obviously nobody knows what the situation will be like down the road...but be aware...

Asking other members of the CF how their recruiting process went is pointless as everyone will be completely different.  For instance I handed my application in on a Tuesday morning.  By Friday my CFAT, medical, and interview were done.  I got a call the following Wednesday and left that...

Buddies of mine who went CSOR all retained their ranks.  Couple guys I know who became JTF assaulters were promoted immediately to Mcpl upon getting to the unit.
