tl;dr : Can I join the army with braces
Firstly I'd like to apologize as I'm sure the answer is out there somewhere and I've barely missed it
I have had braces for ~2 years and will have them for the next year or so
I just applied to the reserves online and when talking to a guy I know who served in the military (American), the topic of braces came up and he mentioned that you couldn't go to basic while you had basic.
So now I'm worried and I'm guessing that the same goes for us
After doing some searching the only answers I've come up with have been for the American Military system. (unfortunately 'braces' having multiple meanings means googling isn't that effective)
So I used the 'talk to a recruiter' thing on the CF website and asked, I'm pretty sure I got an automated response that linked to a
vague pdf saying I should contact the medical staff of my nearest centre.
I don't think this is necessary as I can't imagine how braces being acceptable or not varies on a case to case basis. So if anyone knows the answer please share. Otherwise I guess I'll have to spend an hour on the bus to drop by and see
Thanks
Why was my post merged with a 6 year old thread where the last post is one saying that the policies would be changing soon?
Ok either there's been some more thread merging or I'm an idiot and somehow missed like a dozen posts :s
Thanks mr. moderator
