Hey Seil, Did my fit test Thursday. Tester told me to stop at min. push-up and sit-up, did 3 levels of 3 minute step, starting at level 2, and got 98 on grip tests.  All the tester said was,"you passed". I am wondering if doing just the minimum will affect my chances with the selection board?!?

Never used it but my brother-in-law is cert. person. trainer and he swears by protein powder.  If you want to put on muscle..you need protein.  If your interested I'll find out what he might recommend.

Just did my fit test today. I was ready to pound out the push-up and sit-up.  When I reached the min. number the tester said"OK you can stop now".  So by the time he finished saying that I was 2 over min. on each.  I could have done more but it did not seem to matter?!?  Is this going to affect...

This might be kind of a silly question but hey if you don't know ask!  I'm in the civvy construction field.  When a plumber or capenter or electician is working on site which is close to finishing, we are always concerned about our boots putting marks on the floors.  Since Military boots are...

Had my interview and med last week. Just have a few good reasons why you want to join the forces.  Make sure you know what the forces do. Be ready for drug questions; drugs I could not pronounce and have never heard of. Be honest and confident in you answers.

I'm sure this is not the correct forum for this question but I'll start here anyway. I was just wondering if the CF is a good starting point for someone wanting to get in to community policing/RCMP.  I'm sure some of the training would be relevant. I know this is not an RCMP site. I'm just...

WOW!! Cpl4life.  Seems like your patients has come to a head.  From your posts I think you might be a civvy electrician.  I seem to be in the same boat as you. It's been about 3 years since I first files(don't want to go into all that again...already posted somewhere). The pension delema does...

Thanks T.  That was the exact response I was hoping for. :salute:

Yes i'm hoping they will say that but what position will I be leaving?  Will they say "Yeah fine your in" or "we have to go over your file again". What did they tell you guy when you left.  I know it's a stupid question. I'm just trying to plan my next move. Please bare with me. ;D

I've been working out for years and the best....the very best machine I have ever found is calll.......the floor.  Hit it and do a couple of dozen crunches and some leg lifts.  Search the net and find some variations.  Muscle against muscle.  You just can't beat it!

Hey Mack.  I've posted the same kind  question a while ago.  The replies I received were about something like this.  As long as you can keep up ,help out, participate, your just like everyone else;  except you'll be 20 years older than some guys.  I'm in the same boat. I'm 39...40 in January and...
