    Questions about joining the Reserves

    Hi everyone, I just recently got into the Reserves and I had the chance to talk to some people at my unit. Someone told me that you must be over the age of 18 to deploy on any sort of mission, whether it be in Canada or overseas. However my recruiter told me that even though I was under the age...

    Medically Unfit & Ineligible

    Although you could appeal your platelet issue, your eyesight will be the factor that would stop you from getting in. You would have to correct the issue before you can be deemed fit.

    Questions about joining the Reserves

    In my opinion the reserves shouldn't be a "trial" sort of thing where you just test the waters out, because you're still in the military.  Reservists are trained to the same standard as reg force and if you're joining  the reserves with the intention of leaving immediately / in the near future...

    Medical Rejection: How to Appeal? [Merged]

    Hi there, Yes I initially thought that the appeal would be the second opinion but the signature at the end of my first rejection and my appeal letter seem to be from the same person, I was wondering if there was anyway to directly ask for a different medical officer to review my case?

    Medical Rejection: How to Appeal? [Merged]

    Hi all, I applied for the primary reserves a while back and got medically rejected, and so I submitted an appeal which included a note and report from my doctor stating that I have been off medications for a while now and that there is an extremely low chance of reoccurrence.

    Test force femmes

    Je ne suis pas une femme, mais il y avait des femmes qui ont fait le test FORCE à mes côtés et qui ont très bien réussi le test, tant que vous maintenez un mode de vie sain et actif, le test FORCE ne devrait pas poser de problème. Désolé pour le mauvais français, ce n'est pas ma première langue.

    Questions about joining the Reserves

    For me, after a full day of testing which consisted of; First an introduction where they talk about the reserves, the pay, what you do, and the training, they'll allow you to ask questions, then your CFAT will come with a break while the results arrive, then wait for your FORCE test if you...

    Military co-op & Aptitude Test

    If I'm not wrong, I think you have to be over 16 to take the CFAT in the first place (don't quote me), so you should really ask your recruiter about that, other than that, there's really no way to get those prior CFAT scores wiped off your record.

    BMQ Failure Rate

    In 2017 you said you were applying for armoured "recon". A couple of days ago you posted a rant about how long your enrollment process is taking, care to clear up on how you could have completed BMQ 5 years ago?

    Reserve Co-op enrollment 2018-current

    Don't quote me on this but I believe you must wait the mandatory 6 months (Again, don't quote me on it) before you retake it. Also, I'm fairly sure you have to be 16 years old to take the CFAT in the first place you might want to talk to your recruiter about that. This would also go well in the...

    Physical Fitness (Jogging, Diet, Cardiovascular, and Strength )

    Wouldn't bench pressing your own bodyweight come way after squatting your own bodyweight? If you can bench just as much as you squat and or/deadlift that is a serious imbalance and you should probably get it checked out.
