    medical and physical

    On the subject of medical issues, do the Canadian armed forces exclude people who wear orthodics? I'm asking because I had my medical last week, and they basically wanted to know if I could do the training course without orthodics... which I can't.

    Age Limits - Reserves

    I'm 40, with two young kids, and am trying to join the infantry reserve as an officer. My age seems to be a serious obstacle... I get the impression the unit doesn't want to invest in training someone like me. Any thoughts?

    Enhanced Reliability Check (ERC) - Merged

    Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I'm in that situation. I had to fill out a 330-60E because I've spent a lot of time working outside of Canada. They told me it would take up to 2 years. Does that sound right?

    Remustering as an NCM...suggestions?

    Another question: how hard is it to change your MOC? Like, what if you sign up as an NCM, but you don't like your MOC, is it easy to change or transfer?

    Well, I hope you're right. Although I haven't put in my papers yet, that's the one thing I really worry about.

    Residency Requirements for SECURITY CLEARANCE

    How strict is the 5 year residency requirement for joining the res? Although I was born and raised in Canada, and I'm a Canadian citizen, I've spent a good part of my working life overseas, and I only moved back to Canada about two and half years ago. At the recruiting center here in Montreal...

    Military Intelligence - Primary Reserves

    Does anybody know anything about the training you get for the intelligence reserve? I'm in the process of enlisting in the reserve, and I'm interested in intelligence. Does anybody know what they do exactly? What kind of skills they need? What kinds of people they attract? Is it a trade, and is...

    Reserve INT

    I'm thinking of applying to join the intelligence res. Does anybody know concretely what kind of training is involved, and what specifically they do? And what kinds of people intelligence attracts?
