  ....I've got help because i've had a really bad life.....

I've a feeling i'm going to cry...................wait, no, its gone !!

Honestly your last post contradicts your first !  If you are realy interested in the miliatry that ask yourself some serious questions and make sure thats what you want because IMHO, its not just a job ( not to be cliche or anything) and like someone said, you are going to need a stronger mindset.  Regardless of what you have done before in life, in the military, there's no life like it ( here i go again !) and you can't compare it. The stress will not be the same and what will be asked of you at times will be more demanding that you can imagine right now.

You can eat a bowl full of worms ? Does that prove anything ?

Eat to survive if you're lost?

Anybody can do that.

I was re-reading some of your previous posts and i suggest you don't join the airforce either...you would have to clean the shitter in the aurora ! So that basicaly rules out all three elements.......
 
Aslong as i can do those things any is fine, but i'm told they tell you what you're good at then you go there. I still dunno what i wanna do for the rest of my life anyway. But i know if i give up then why bother trying to begin with.  If you back out from little things then you don't deserve it anyway, i don't like cleaning but i do it in life and work anyway and i'll do it if i make the army  so all i gotta do is adapt and change my ways if i wanna have any success at all...i gave up earlier but i was wrong to, if you wanna go for something then go for it even if people tell you otherwise, i just wanted to know what the military was like and if i'd have any chance at all with it, if i didn't then i'd have to adapt and role with it, it's only 4 years anyway, that's not much of your life...and if you like it and good at it then great, if not then atleast you tried your best and even got personal skills and job skills out of it and extra money (which i'd hardly spedn...i'll keep it in maybe a retirement savings bond or something).  No harm in trying, even if i fail the medical i can always try again...who knows, maybe someday my knee might get better or a treatment for it comes and ixes everything...aslong as i try my best, can keep up with the rest, can take what everyone can do (i'll train myself before) then i'll be fine.

I'm sorry but you realy need to get your head screwed on right and do some research into the CF. The recruiting FAQ section would be a good place to start. From what i can see from your posts, you don't have a clue as to what you would be getting into and you are listening to people who don't have one either.

Maybe the CF just ain't for you.....
 
Try writing the civil service exam, or being a prison guard.

I edited it more.

You make it sound like this is the hardest job in the universe...

Not always...but the days that it is the hardest job in the universe..we need people who can deliver. I've been on both ends of the spectrum...first as a combat engineer and now as an aesop.  The army was demanding...and to my surpise, the airforce is even more !

I realy think you need to do more research into the trades that are in the CF and to how the recruiting process works.  You have some serious misconceptions and you bring with you baggage ( emotional and physical) that IMHO makes you a liability......

Do your homework and some serious soul searching kid...you need it
 
Don't want to stereotype... but is it sounds like to me that he came hear to be pitied... Oh poor you... yes join in, we will be able to accommodate one more useless dead wood  :crybaby: :crybaby:

Being a instructor, I noticed that there is always that one student, thank god they come around too often, that wants you to feel bad for him.  My last one actually cried... wait for it...  :'( :'( :'(  for not being top student.  :boring:  He made us dig thru all the exams because we must had made a mistake... NOT.  It doesn't sound like a whole lot, but it was a 2 1/2 months course, 14 exams.  He was convinced that if he had top student, he would get his advance Corporal.  The way I look at it, if he was a deserving candidate, that the paperwork should read: Passed with an average of 90%... vice: he was top student. Not a huge difference in the end.

ALL I can say to you kid is: Stay home...

Joining the Army... You have to be ready to be deployed on a short notice.  In Kosovo and Afghanistan, they wear a big backpack, riffle and ammo.  :warstory:  Want to go for the NAVY... you will need sea legs.  :threat:  It doesn't sound like much, but when the ship is going thru rough seas (most of the time in the Atlantique) you will need them to prevent from slamming into the bulkheads.  THe Airforce, we went to Kosovo too.  In Afghanistan, we were in a nearby country to help the war effort.  If you can't even pick up a mop, then stay home.  Those drip trays don't clean themselves. 

Non really... Stay home.
 
404...

You read my mind !  Were you in the FLIR lab yesterday morning ?

CDN1,

Listen to 404sqnAVstech.......STAY HOME !!
 
This is the most negative board i've ever been too, you don't think people can change? i never came here to feel pittied, i came here to see what the army is like and if i'd be any good...that's why i gave out what im like in real life, so you'd have a better look at me and know, i never posted here to be spat at and told im nothing but worthless like you guys have told me, forget it this is obviously the wrong place to visit.
