HOW long does it take to even get a CALL let alone be recruited..??? A LONG TIME!..

I got called 3 wks after I handed in my application.

At any rate, don‘t take offense so easily. Try to read the message and not the words. Basically, we‘re all saying that you have to shoot above and beyond the min requirements. I knew people who were able to easily pull off 30 pushups but when it came time to do their PT test, the tester told them they were doing the pushups wrong and had difficulty completing 19.

So, think about it. If a recruit goes in being able to do only 19, what happens when the tester says that his hands are too far apart, or that he‘s not going low enough, etc.

Although I have never been in the CF, I agree completely with Kurokaze‘s point of view about the PT!

yes i agree..i wasnt saying thats all he should be able to do...i was jsut saying that thats all he HAD to do DURING TESTING...he should be able to do alot more...i understand that..im not trying to bother ne one or naything im just saying...and if u properly read your application...it tells you exactlly how to do your pushups...everyone gets woried that day regardless if they can do 10 or 1000 pushups...i was just saying that you HAVE to be able to do ATLEAST that..but should set your standards VERY high...me myself only hda to do 19 pushups...but after that...i did alot more..i work out daily...duing pushups..situps..etc...all the military stuff i do...well i dunno about ALL of it but you know...gate i understand what your saying completely..and i agree with you that ifa soldier can only do 19 pusups..hes in for trouble and we dont need to be dragging someone behind us in a PT....but im saying that for my case..i didnt have to exceed that right away because the system works so slowly i STILL havent gotten word back from the recruiting center...Jan 14 was when i did my CFAT etc..waiting for a ERC...and then my App. goes to my Unit for enrollment..so gate.my apologies...if i may have acted rude im sorry..
