Sorry for any confusion, by no intent did i try to make myself seem more important than any other applicant. Also it was not my intent to blame any officer of the CF. I'm in my position due to the actions i had taken and the laws i had broken leading up to recruitment. Im just confused because i...

Correct, my files have made it to Hamilton. It is here where another Captain had decided to take me off the merit list. I'm not going to pretend to know what goes on behind the scenes in the recruiting process, but after over ten years of application freezes, file transfers and terminations, it...

A month later and still no word! When i was in Saskatoon a Captain Mayers put me on the merit list, and now that I've moved back to Hamilton they've taken me off.  I wish i could get Captain Mayers on the phone or email, but since I've left Saskatoon they've closed down the recruiting center...

No pain! Did 5k last night the only thing I felt was that I'd taken too long off of running to deal with this ITBS issue. This was great information! Now if i can just get back on the merit list next week!?!? Thank you all and best of luck  :salute:

Despite conflicting information I've found on the net with this foam rolling and ball, they seem to be working well! I'm only on day three and was doing hill sprints last night. The ball i bought is one from pet smart "kong" brand it's hard rubber and seem to be doing the trick. I'm going to...

Went and picked up a foam roller at the running room... Its painful so hopefully it works lol! I started running close to everyday since Dec 2012 and other than that I've always been physically fit and somewhat active even as a smoker but I've quit now. Thanks for all the advice and just out of...

Thank you both! For a foam roller would a pool noodle suffice or should i go find one with a larger diameter? As for weight training I believe that could be the issue as I'm only squatting about 2/3 my body weight.

A couple months ago I was put on the merit list at CFRC Saskatoon. Since then I've moved from Saskatoon to Hamilton to spend some time with family. After my file was transferred I was taken off the merit list, and still here I am trying to figure out why... to no avail!  :facepalm: And now for...

Recently quit smoking about two weeks ago. I smoked for about 10 years, now I'm trying to figure out if this is smoking related or not so here's the run down. I'm running 1k, 5k and 20k with no shortness of breath but rather intense muscle cramps in the calves, feet and shins. I spoke with...

What I gathered from this is....   1) let the injury heal   2) apply to the CF   3) make them aware of the injury in your medical exam   4) get a doctors approval that the injury is fully healed and that you'd be fit for duty Everyone's level of injury will be different. Your best bet is...

I'll get in touch with my file manager I suppose. I have been avoiding calling as I've already been calling a bunch about a file transfer from Regina to Hamilton. This has been a very lengthy process for me, anything I can do to speed it up from here I'll do, definitely open to advice and thank...

I've recently come across some courses at McMaster university; leadership essentials, team essentials, productivity essentials. I'm going to copy and paste a link to them. I've been merit listed and I'm trying to find ways to improve my chances for an offer, as I have a feeling I'm not exactly...

I can't stress it enough make sure everything is done and dealt with i.e. court dates, probation, pending charges, and prohibitions, before you apply. I'm speaking from my own experience, expect delays. My application took a very long time but I had a pretty big hurdle with a weapons ban. I had...

From what i gather it seems to be on a case by case basis, so as to say someone wouldnt be ineligible for just this reason.

thank you
