My understanding is instead of a universal medical standard, its now more based on what trades you are looking to join as. Certain conditions might disqualify you from infantry, but not say HRA/FSA for example.

Exactly. Trades were asked to provide input on what cats was needed for their people and this was taken into consideration so that they can do more trade centric med requirements. For a large part HRA/FSA does not need anywhere near infantry standards as the trades doesn't really do field time. Even on deployments they are not out patrolling, they are in offices on base. let's get over the "every member is an infanteer" mentality. Bring on the purple uniforms!!!

Well not so fast . Civilian here with long ago Army reserve experience. I was a little shocked attending the Greenwood Airshow last August walking around an important Canadian base that had invited fellow P-8 Poseidon owners, namely the USN ( 3 A/C ) and RAF ( 1 A/C).
The Canadians were morbidly Obese and some of those folks were having some trouble on a warm, not Hot August day in the Annapolis Valley. The Allies were younger and far fitter in comparison. Sadly a lot of the Canadians looked like Bureaucrats in non fitted Cadpat. The Griffin assault display however was excellent and dynamic. I truly feel that the last nine years have allowed the Forces to slide into just another Fed Department and even the Donald has noticed.

You lost me at purple uniforms. Pass, no thanks. We're finally pulling away from that.

The most important question is, how was the diversity of the group?

Lots of diversity among the Americans , the Brits were their pasty selfs and the Canadians looked very Ottawa.
