I went to the Barrie Recruiting Station on July 14th and then I got all the Application Forms filled out. Then I Fed-Exed them in last week and got the call a few days later to book my Aptitude and Physical Test on October 17th. Then I got a vm yesterday to call the office and I did that today. There I learned that they have taken the Physical Fitness Test out of the Recruitment Process. Can anyone confirm this? Anyway, my new Aptitude Test day is Wednesday, October 18th, and hopefully it will go well.
This application to the Canadian Forces is the culmination of 15 years of interest in the Military that has grown stronger in the last few years. It all started with the tour of the Naval Vessel I visited in 1991. My Maternal Grandfather, Uncle and Father all served in the Canadian Forces and one of my best friends in University was a 2nd Lt. in the Reserves. That is when my interest in the Canadian Forces intensified, but I still never considered it as a career option until two years ago. However, I was in no financial or physical condition to pursue it at that time.
But about a year ago, I was in a car accident and while recovering had a lot of time to think about my life and what I wanted to do with it. After all the insurance and recovery was over with, I decided not to waste anymore time pursuing the dream I did not realize I had. Fortunately, I am somehow in better shape AFTER the accident than I was before. I can actually run again, but I couldn't BEFORE the accident. I had a prior knee injury on New Years Day 1998, and after that I could no longer run; I was reduced to a quick shuffle and I got winded crossing intersections. Now I can run the 2.4 km in 24:30 and still have about 15 km of walking left in me. Considering that I was riddled with childhood asthma in 1991 and had two bad asthma attacks, I am glad that I am in better shape now.
Just wanted to tell everyone a bit about myself, this being my first post and all. Does the Aptitude Test pick your career path for you, or do you have to use your preferences to pick your field?
