well since everyone else is doping it i might as well too.
I am twenty three years old. I applied back in 2002. did my CFAT and passed...called endlessly for a year and no luck....whne 2005 came along I as informed I did not have a file anymore. Don't know what happened.
I applied again last week for AVN TECH...the only trade I am interested in. Was told I will be called next week to do my testing since the trade is in demand right now.
After 2005 me and my g/f had a child....my fitness standard left and I went to 270lbs in no time. 2006 rolled around and I started to loose weight as I was getting back into hockey again but not enough...I still coudn't run more then 0.3 kms. early 2007 I had another child and proposed to my g/f and landed a good job....then september I was laid off for no good reason....With two children and alot of bills to keep up I started to think about the military again...thats what lead me to apply last week....same trade I applied for in 2002.
Since last week I started getting more involved in improving my fitness and diet. I went for being able to run 0.3kms to 2kms in one week. Still smoking half a pack a day. went from being able to do 5 pushups to 15 in a week. I was never bad at situps and still able to pull off 25 in under a min. I used to be a gym buff before 2002 so I have alot of unused muscle that I need to work with. I am now down to 245lbs and still dropping. I also have been playing alot more hockey then before whch I think helps my cardio quite a bit. I have a larger stature anyway with extremely thick body with very broad shoulders and 6'2" so being higher in weight suits me well. I have never had any injuries more then a scratch or broken teeth. Only thing is I had high blood pressure last year and was prescibed a waterpill to help for a bit and have since stopped using them a few months ago and have very good BP since. I do have a DUI from 2003 but was told by my recruiter it will not slow my application down at all. Other then that I never got into drugs(a joint when I was 15 maybe) and don't drink alcohol unless I am at a resturant or watching a hockey game.
I still have along way to go but I fiigure with the progress I am making so far I will be fit before BMQ. I will keep this thread updated with both my tests or my fitness improvments.
