Congrates - I bet you are so relieved!!! Good luck with the redoing all the paperwork - let us know when you get an Offer

Hey MediPea - I am 5'4" and I used to date a guy who was 6'2" -  he used to tell me to slow down ALL the time because my stride was much longer than his - so I don't think it is automatically a height challenged thing. I know that is not much help, but there is obviously a way. It might just...

I have a chin-up bar in the door to my livingroom so I put one leg up and rest it on the couch - this allows me to do five chin-ups - without it I can do a half a chin-up. The only thing is my dad installed the bar so each time I worry about it and me coming crashing down with one leg stuck on...

I talked to the officer that interviewed me yesterday and he said that chin-ups do not form part of the fitness test - hope that eases your mind a bit  :D I know it did for me!!

I have an appointment tomorrow with my family doctor and am planning on getting a letter from him regarding my past to bring with me to the medical. I know they will still probably want the form filled out but I like to take a proactive approach and the more in my file that supports my good...

Chuck, I know this post is older, but how have things proceeded on your medical? I too was diagnosed with reactive depression (same thing as situational) twice. The first time when I was pregnent with my son at 17 -, without too much detail - I was a high school drop out - things didn't work...

Just an update. Did my CFAT today and qualified for everything so he said. WOOHOOO!! I am so relieved! We did my interview after my CFAT which they told me might happen so luckily I was prepared and that went well too. They told me that both my trades weren't open yet, but that there should be...

Thanks Lil-T I have been studying with a GED book - the math portion only. So I have reviewed the fractions, decimals, ratios, etc. I haven't studied anything else - my verbal I believe is decent enough and well the spatial I assumed there was no way to study for that - and think it might be...

Sorry CDN Aviator - I didn't see this question already answered. Thanks guys for the answers. I was misunderstanding the question - 4 stands for the sailors and 5 for the soliders. I was thinking about it differently. Hope this helps with my test tomorrow  ;D

I don't know from experience, but I would not go into basic thinking that chin-ups are not tested solely based on that link. The link talks about the physical fitness being tested as part of the recruiting process however that is no longer the case. It is now tested (for regular applicants) at...

I have my CFAT tomorrow and am having trouble with one question on the practice test. I have studied GED material (I haven't done math since grade 10 and I am almost 30), but cannot figure out how to answer this one question. It is - How many soldiers are there in a group of 27 sailors and...

I know the feeling Lil T - I haven't been able to do a chin-up yet! I can do about five if I put one foot up on my couch - I don't use it to help me up just set it there (I have a chin-up bar at home) and it seems to help. I figure it will strengthen my arms and the muscles we need to do the...

Yah I started on the second week and found it a little too easy - I don't feel like I am pushing myself enough so tomorrow when I go for a run I am going to start at week three and see if that is more of a workout and go from there.

For anyone who is just starting running - there is a program called Couch to 5K - I just started today, I will see if it works. The link is below: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml I am going to keep doing my 2.4 run which I run between 15 and 20 minutes depending on how good I...

This seems like a great idea so I am going to include it in my daily routine. Although I will have to start doing them on the knee as right now I am unable to do a "real" push-up. I figure I can go through this system on the knee as well as attempt regular push-ups until they increase enough to...

Good Luck Cossack  ;D I am also putting in my application on Monday - let me know how the process goes for you.

Thank you Springroll and Aviator for your quick responses. I agree with Aviator that my children are my responsibility. I do not expect anyone else to take that responsibility especially the CF. I was simply wondering how it is done - how others have done it, etc. as of course I do not know...
