All the best, and thanks for everything. I found so much useful information which helped me to decide on applying to the Navy reserve. Unfortunately, this is farewell for me as well. After six months of wait, got the decision, and eliminated by medical. Whether you apply to be in special forces or part time office job, it appears to be the exact same requirement, which is a secret, and they are too lazy to do any further testing on any potential red flag. Two months to mail a simple letter, and I'm told 6-12 months wait for an appeal? The institution lost all credibility for me. Sadly, the "recruitment crisis" is entirely made from within.
I hear you, thank you for sharing. I agree that the medical process needs to be improved. Recruiters do not have access to applicants' personal medical information and are not a part of the medical process. My best advice is to follow through with the appeal process, and if you are not satisfied you can write to the ombudsman: www.canada.ca/en/ombudsman-national-defence-forces.html
Thank you, and congratulations, PO! It took a long time, but hopefully, they said I could get me into the enrollment ceremony by the 30th! You and the Recruiting team were so helpful and friendly!
Well PO next time I am home going to make a trip to Winnipeg and stop in and learn more about HMCS Chippawa . pretty sad I grow up in Brandon severed CAF 79-89 ret as MS D A Howell yes I was Navy lol and knew nothing about your Unite. Hope you and your better half and little one had a great time together so good to see the CF has changed i know a couple guys that did not meet their Kids till they were 6 months old. See PO what you are doing is so cool HMSC Chippawa is in good hands keep up the great job you are doing
Congratulations PO, I am happy for you.

I could not agree more with you.

Thank you! I would be happy to give you a tour. We also have the Naval Museum of Manitoba in our building which is worth a trip!
Hope to see you back in action soon!
