I have watched and read alot of forums on this site and have come to a decision.though some silliness and ignorance present i'm confident that this site 95% the best place to put forth my question. Is it to late for me to get a second chance to fulfill my dream of participating in some form or contributing to the cadet and or military unit's? A short history of me.. At 13 i joined the cadet's , LOVED IT!! I spent my first summer camp at Vernon, second at Argonaut , 3rd. at Borden (MSE-OPS), 4 th. at Argonaut as a staffer, Joined the reserves , LOVED IT ! I spent 2 years in the infantry with all the enthusiasm and intent of getting in the best shape of my life and and learning everything i could to prepare myself for my transition to the regs. Next ,I applied , wrote my tests had my physical , was excepted , got my call out.That's were the dream end's. My fiancee' became pregnant and did not want to be a base wife hopping all over the country. I gave in and 5 years later she left me AND my son and i spent the next 12 year's being a single father working mundane job's to support him and myself.it's been another 10 year's and my son is a man and a father himself and i couldn't be more proud. But now i have all this time and for the last 2 year's i have often thought of my future and possibly a place in the military. I'm no fool , you young fellas could run circle's around me with a dozen beer in ya even though for 41 i can still run 5 k comfortable an d press my own body weight , but the problem Lie's in the fact that during the initial year's after my divorce and sudden roll as a single dad i became very , very stupid and got on the oh poor me train and made some very stupid decisions that earned me some visits to the local magistrate.( No Drug or Robbery or violent Offences).My Question is ..Can i be considered for the cic ? I know i Can pass all the requirements and have the letter's of recommendation, And when asked will be truthful about any transgressions. Will the organization be open minded or is there a bottom line i cannot overcome ?? I'm very confident this is being put to the right people.
Thank you
