I realize the RC doesn't recruit for CSOR, but I would think they'd be better informed to help guys like me who have CSOR or JTF2 goals in mind. I'd like to know about CSOR now because that's truly my goal in the CF. Though I'd still probably serve the minimum time for, say, infantry, I think...

So I just completed my medical exam today and passed everything for my trade choices, but the tech said I have a bit of an irregular heartbeat. It's not irregular in the sense that it's all over the place, but he said (and I can now sometimes feel when taking my own pulse) that there seems to be...

This was almost exactly my experience late January 2014.

Thanks, BTN. I appreciate the help. I'll give them a call soon and see what's going on.

Thanks for all the info, guys. I have mailed in all the documents as requested by the email. This is step 2 and 3 directly from the email I received after completing my government profile online (I added italics, not capital letters): "2. You are to submit copies of all required documents to...

I've seen here that most people wait a couple weeks or so to hear from the CFVRC about their application. It's been about 6 weeks for me and I haven't heard anything. I just want to know if they received it or if there's something wrong. It's making me a bit nervous. The email said not to...

Thanks guys. And my original question was not necessarily applying to both, it was whether (whichever is faster) to apply to the reserves and then wait on a CT or just apply to reg force and wait. For those who care, I'll see if there's anything available with the reserves, first. If not, I...

Thanks for the reply. So forget the whole officer thing and say I just want to end up in RegF infantry as an NCO. Is it possible to run both applications at the same time in case I get a reserve position first? Or if the CT transfer takes a while, too, is it just that much more time for me to...

A bit of a backstory about me: I graduated university with a BA in Geography this spring, and am set on joining the infantry. I want to go in as an NCO to gain the experience I feel will make me a better officer should I go that route down the road. I know the waiting period (for infantry...

Hey guys, I am in Ontario, and 19 right now currently in University leaning towards a degree in criminal justice. I have a couple of questions concerning military firefighting. If I want to join the forces and become a firefighter, do I still need to go to firefighting school/get my DZ...

so i just spoke to my recruiter the other day, and because I'm transferring to a University in the states next year, I cannot join the reserves (work 4 months in summer and 1 month over Christmas is not allowed like i expected). I have a passion to do something more for this country, and i hate...

thanks a lot for the replies. they are very helpful. so from what i understand doing service strictly in the summer months is not a good idea because unless i can talk my way into it, its not gonna happen. But worring about that doesnt even matter if i cant do my training at London so i need...

Right now I am 18 and it my first year of University. I have always thought about going into the forces. I would like to stay in school and get my degree before i ever joined so that if i join and get out i dont have to go through University at a later age. Is that a good idea? Also, i was...
