During my husbands SQ he showed up 3 minutes late from a weekend leave and he was considered AWOL. He had to write a 500 word essay on why timing is important. Get used to the micro minute management.
Is there another option, I know here in Calgary your can either do your physical at Phoenix Gym, or Fitness on Fifth. If your upset with the way you were treated, maybe you should look in to another gym.Bo said:I show up at the Nautilus gym and tell the receptionist I'm here for the physical. She looks at her watch and says (I'm not kidding):
"It's 11:31, sorry you'll have to reschedule"
Me being a funny guy, I decide to play along with this funny joke. "I guess I'll have to reschedule then, hehe" I say. The girl then pulls out this schedule and asks me when I want to book the appointment. I'm standing there still thinking she's joking around until her manager comes and says "Sorry sir, you have to show up on time".
I started laughing. 11:31
I had an argument with the manager regarding this 1 minute late policy but it got me nowhere. After 5 minutes, she actually had the nerve to say "Well you've been arguing for 5 minutes so it's too late now". I probably could have bench pressed 300lbs when that stupidity left her mouth. Man, I was pissed.
In the end, I rescheduled for Monday. The moral of the story is: You can't win arguments with women, j/k. Show up early!!!

Here, if you miss your pt appt., you have to pay for the next one. The CFRC will not pay for more than one gym (PT Test) appt per person.
The only thing that was not acceptable was being late in the first place. 1 minute or 30 makes no difference. I think that is what people here who have many years in the CF have said REPEATEDLY !!Springroll said:Treating someone like that because of a minute is not acceptable.

Maybe one day, when you are all grown-up and your years of service equal more than zero you will "get it".
This thread is going around in circles and has thus outlived its usefulness.
Springroll said:so what makes this situation any different?
There is a difference between the CF and Civvie street, and I have a feeling that you guys just aren't understanding what I am saying...
RULE 6 - If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
