Smell problem

[Harnoisa]

Hi guys, I was wondering if a smell problem can stop my application to the canadian force.
The problem is I don't smell anything I don't have the sense of scent since as long as I can remember, I search on the internet and they call it anosmia.
Thanks for reply

I could of used this problem during basic, some of the boots that people took off could clear a room.

Haha yeah I get that but do you think it can stop me in the process ?

I couldn't find anything in there, and at no point was I questioned or tested for sense of smell. I guess you won't know until you try!

Wish I had anosmia during my tear gas hut experience.

They test you on that in the basic training ?

You would still feel the effects of the gas regardless if you could smell it or not.

Yes, recruits get exposed to CS gas as part of the NBCD training in BMQ. As well as CAF pers will do this training throughout their career at various points.

As for your medicial condition, apply and bring it up during the medical and see what happens.
