Thanks for the help guys.

In 2007 I applied to join the Reserves and had to voluntarily withdraw my application.  I was told at the CFRC that with a VW it is like the application was never started.  I am not sur eif that is correct.  My questions is, if reapplying how do I answer the question in regards to have I ever...

Thanks for the response.  I thought I would have to restart the process, which is fine with me.  I remember him saying that my previous condition left me with a good chance of rejection and that I could follow my application through to the end but he recommended that I voluntarily withdraw my...

Hello. Before Christmas I was applying for P. Res at the Mississauga CFRC.  When it came to my medical, the doctor informed me that because of a past condition which I divulged freely that there was a good chance that I would be rejected and that the best idea was for me to voluntarily withdraw...

Geez, this guy can stay in but I can't get in due to kidney stones even though I would do anything to be in the military.  Go figure.

Yeah, but doesn't everything?

If the guy is a little bit frustrated because he has put alot of hard work into something and has been denied, let him have his say.  I know how he feels and I felt like doing the same thing.

There is definitely a urine test.  I just had my medical on Thursday.

Actually that is what I had thought of trying next.  Thanks for the advice.

Thank you MG.  I appreciate the support.

It is with a heavy heart that I write this post to you today.  I went for my medical today and sadly, I have been declared unfit for military service due to a previous medical condition (kidney stones) which would adversely affect my service in the military. I am sad and feeling very lost right...

Good luck in your application process rusty and welcome to the site.  I am going for my medical this Thursday so HOPEFULLY I am not too far away from being accepted.  Just work hard at improving your physical fitness, even if you think you are fit it can always be better so read some of the...

Rest in Peace troops.  Speedy recovery to the injured and thoughts and prayers to all the families and friends.  :cdn:

Thanks alot JBoyd.  I appreciate it.

I had my physical fitness test yesterday.  It all went very well.  I cranked out 25 pushups, 30 situps, reached level 7 on the step test and I can't remember what I did on the grip test but it was a pass.  Not bad for my 37 year old body considering when I started running and so on a couple...

Hey all. I have my physical test on Wednesday afternoon and I am wondering how I should approach my workout schedule between now and then?  I have been running 5k every couple days and today, Monday, is my day to run.  Should I run as scheduled or should I run a shorter route or not at all?  I...

Much ado about nothing as far as I am concerned.  It's just a cartoon and there is really nothing offensive about it.

Well, I gave myself four days off from running this week because I was really concerned with the pain in my shins.  So yesterday I gave it a go again and completed a 5.2km route without much trouble. My pace was a little slower than normal because that was the longest distance I have covered but...

So good news and bad news about my run today.  I was going to up the distance from the 4.1k route I had been doing, to a 5 k route.  Only problem is I forgot to run the new route I had planned so I ended up doing my 4.1k route again.  Sigh, brain is getting old.  Now the good news.  I shaved 58...

Thanks JBoyd.  I always have my IPod Shuffle on for my runs.  It certainly helps, me at least, to have some music playing when I run.  The Shuffle is a great little device for running simply because of how small it is.  The thing is the size of a matchbook and clips nicely to my shorts or...
