I've decided to join the CF (Army, regular) and after going to the recruiting office and checking out the fitness requirements I have a few questions. I tried all the requirements and can pass "most" of them. Pushups are good, sit-ups no problem, but the grip test ( I have been practicing with those hand grip things you can purchase at Canadian Tire for $6.00 a pair) and the running, I need some work. Like I said though, I am not far off. My quesiton is, should I submit my application now and then start training like a bugger before I get my call, or MUST I be able to attain the minimum requirements before submitting my application? Either way I will train like a bugger before basic. Afterall, the better shape I am in before the better.
Also, I read that you must be able to swim 50 metres and do 3 chin ups (female) but I haven't heard of anyone being tested on this in order to get accepted?
Any help is appreciated.
Tank you!
