Hey guys,
I've been reading for a while, but I finally decided to create an account. I have been considering a career in the military for about five years and I have put my foot forward and talked to a recruiter. I am trying for Primary Reserve infantry in the North Saskatchewan Regiment. According to the recruiter at the regiment they are really desperate for reserve infantry right now. If it were up to my I would go for reg force, but my wife made me promise to do reserve for at least five years. If I still like it after that, then I can make a career of it and she will be willing to move around every three years.
I do have a history of mental illness whether correctly prescribed or not I do not know and am being tapered off my medication. I asked the recruiter about this and he said he had absolutely no idea indicating that I should just apply and see what the MO at the CFRC reccomends. I have to admit I am a little nervous about that.
As far as physical fitness goes, I have had terrible foot pain any time I attempted to exercize. That recently got fixed with corrective orthotics and I am well on my way to as fit as I was back in high school.
I will update with more info as it comes, but the recruiter said to be prepared to wait until March because there is a Christmas rush of applicants.
Wish me luck.
