Hello everyone,
I am thinking of joining the Canadian Forces soon, but I wanted to ask a couple of medical questions which I could not find anywhere else on this site even though I did a lot of searching around. So, I am sorry if this has already been asked, but I am really eager to know. I would go to the recruiting centre to ask these questions but I live too far away from the recruiting centre and if I call them my parents will know and I will be in trouble.
1. What are the vaccines that you have to get in the military?
2. I have a bunch of allergies but NONE of them are severe. They only come in the spring and all I get are watery eyes and a runny nose.
3. I have a functional heart murmur. It doesn't limit my physical activity. Will that affect me in joining?
4. I have eczema. It only comes in the winter on the back of my hands. Will that affect me in joining?
5. I have obsessive-compulsive thoughts (NOT OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER). They don't come too often and they don't increase when I am under stress. Will this affect me in joining?
Once again, thank you in advance. I'm really worried because I want to be able to serve in the Canadian Forces.
