    Men at age of 45 joining the army

    Only one factor of their medical is higher and that is the Air factor. Yes there are certain meds that will ground you as air crew, possibly certain conditions. But pilots are typically in their late 30s by the time they are done their training. There is a reason why their contract is something...

    Men at age of 45 joining the army

    Both men AND women can join the forces at any age, as long as they can finish their initial contract before they turn 60. Contract length varies by trade. Your age is not a factor in your competitiveness, other than you will have a few more medical tests to do.

    Financial services advisor (it's the new name along with HRA from when they split the trade back in 2016). They are the ones that do claims, while the HRAs do pay and file management.

    FSA in Air Force Reserves

    Why? FSA is an all elements trade, meaning they are found in the army, navy, and air force. They are equally as important to all 3. Air Reserve has a different application process than army or navy reserve, so that's really the only difference. You desk and job will be the same regardless. They...

    Reserves Medical Query

    Just FYI - hearing issues aren't usually noticed by people until they get to the hearing aid stage. Otherwise, people just assume they were not paying attention to the conversation , or the timbre/volume of a specific person's voice just doesn't register as quickly. Make sure your ear canal is...

    Application Process Samples [ 2019-present]

    As a reservist you won’t have to deal with a short timeline between swearing in and BMQ. Your BMQ will either be full time in the summer or part time in the fall. If full time doesn’t work for you then you know it will be a few months before you do BMQ. And BMQ will be every other weekend so...

    36y/o m nurse offered Log - advice?

    Just to offer the opposite point of view, it’s also possible the applicant doesn’t want nursing as a career. They did mention civilian nursing wasn’t what they thought it would be. As much as we are dying for healthcare, I prefer to have nurses (and officers in general) who love what they do.

    education requirements to join

    Security clearance from other departments still has to be redone for the forces. As you probably already know, different federal departments don't like sharing info. You can choose whatever trade you want to do. They won't stop you from applying for those unless your degree is completely...

    CFAT result

    For reserves it depends how many officers they have that need BMOQ in that articular Brigade. Typically you'll be loaded onto a BMQ with the rest of the recruits in your brigade, either part-time in the fall or in the spring, or full time in the summer. Then there will be a separate mod just for...

    Competition list clarification

    There is a difference between calling once a week or every 2 weeks and calling hourly or daily. Once in a while is fine. Hourly or daily is irritating.

    Applying as a PR

    All of this is typical for citizens as well. The only difference in my high school transcript was that I didn’t need to get them translated, but the were in French. Not trying to one up you, but I graduated high school more than 15 years before applying and my high school doesn’t exist anymore...

    Medical assessment

    Yeah, they aren’t allowing medics to make those decisions anymore. It goes to the RMO. Also, we’re not allowed to hurt potential applicants feelings by tell them they are less than what we walked. That’s what the RMO is for lol. They took away the medical recruiter course from the QL6A course...

    Medical assessment

    Oh definitely. But assuming they present to their medical interview in an appropriate manner, even if we know their chances may be low, we still have to send the file to the RMO. The dependence on medication conditions is definitely a deciding factor civilians have a hard time understanding that...

    So he didn’t tell you he worked for CSIS, you surmised it. He could have been a janitor at CSIS for all you know. He could have worked at the Starbucks next door or the mall across the street. As for intelligence agency or the army - too vague still. What job are you doing in the army? There...

    Medical assessment

    There is no such thing as an admission officer. But I have worked in recruiting and I am a medical Technician and at some point in our training they taught us how to do recruit medicals and explained what happens once they are sent off to the RMO.
