Hey guys, I've been thinking of joining the Forces for a long time now. I am 19 years old, work at Canadian Tire and really want to be SOMEBODY in life. I have always been physically fit, active, and get along with all kinds of people. When I came across the military through research and what not, I couldn't wait to enlist. It's literally all I've wanted to do. BUT, there's one problem with me. I have a very thick speech impediment, and it is not a stammer, it's a speech impediment where I cannot pronounce the letter "R". It really sucks, because i wanna join very badly, but my communication skills for radio would be useless IMO. I emailed forces.ca and got this back:
Good day,
Thank you for your interest in the Canadian Forces (CF).
During the application process, our recruiting medical personnel will assess your medical situation. A complete medical examination is necessary when assessing medical fitness for the CF. This is also important when restrictions may limit the career choices being considered.
If you have specific medical questions you should contact the recruiting centre nearest you and ask to speak with a member of the medical staff directly.
Anyone have this speech impediment, OR seen anyone in the army with it?
