My son is currently in BMQ. He was allowed to bring Advil and multivitamins. All the best!

Thanks all. I get it and I have no plans of contacting any unit on his behalf unless he asks me to. But it's good to get all insights and guidance. They got some time to contact family and he said he's trying to sort it out with St Jean staff. However he was told to contact his unit and follow...

are parents allowed to contact the unit on the recruit's behalf? Looks like his reserve unit needs to get their ducks in a row

Also yes he did get the email with the required docs which he signed and was confirmed by his CT broker. In fact, his reserve unit asked him to report to Denison Armoury in December to sign papers and told him he's all set for St Jean. He's 18 and he is confused on what to do at this point. He's...

I may have used an incorrect term (sorry, not familiar with all the acronyms) but he did get a signed document from Ottawa 5323-1 (DMCPG 5-5 CT) which stated his transfer date, change of strength date, unit records support, etc.

Just an update on my son's situation... he did the methacholine challenge and pulmonary function test in July. We saw the respirologist for the results last week and sent the negative asthma findings to the recruiter. The next day son got a call that he got accepted! Had his enrolment ceremony...

fair enough and makes sense. Therefore we need more healthy Canadians to beef up our Forces. :) anyway, I hope it works out for my kid. Thanks for the guidance @medicineman! much appreciated.

7 years?! oh wow! They say the Canadian Forces is in need of people so they relaxed their policies a bit (haircut, dress, etc.) to entice people to apply yet here they are making it hard for the kids who actually want to join. Wow!

Thank you medicineman! My son quite felt down when he got the email and that a letter is forthcoming. In this day and age, does it take months and multiple letters before getting accepted?

Hello! I'm new here. My 17 y.o. son applied for Reserves and now he was told he was medically unfit to join the military. His doctor prescribed with a puffer for a cough that lasted for 2 weeks a year ago. The doctor filled out the Asthma form saying it was prescribed to treat the cough but not...
