Perfect. It was a thought that drifted through my head in the treadmill and just made me wonder. Thanks for clarifying!

White thread, black thread, a few short buttons, safety pins, sewing needles (any needle works - straight, curved, just not super fine. A needle threader is a good addition. Tiny pair of scissors.

Here’s a thought that just occurred to me… Combat gauze is made with shellfish is it not? Like the protein and combat gauze and quick clot that makes the blood clot some kind of shellfish protein? Maybe that’s why a shellfish allergy is such a big red flag for the RMO.

Do they not issue sewing kits anymore? It used to be an olive drab kit with a Velcro closure that just contains several spools of different coloured threads a couple of needles couple of buttons and needle threader. And maybe some scissors

It’s a shellfish allergy, more specifically shrimp.

That’s not how recruiting works.

The CEMS haven’t changed yet. They are considering changing them, but don’t hold your breath. It may be years or decades before they change. the best way to fight your denial (assuming you have officially received a denial) would be to prove you don’t need an epi-pen. That doesn’t mean...

But you are not just putting yourself at risk. You are putting your entire section/platoon at risk. While you are the only one who will experience the anaphylactic response, you will require a medic to treat you in the field as well as 4 people to carry the stretcher you will be laying on...

I have a contact that might be able to help you. They do PLARs for health services (prior learning assessment report) and recruiting for reserves. They may be able to answer whether or not your 2 year course would be acceptable. Try reaching out to Lt(N) Hanson at laen.Hanson@forces.gc.ca. Good...

Have you reached out to the recruiter to ask?

So you want to work at Cadet Camp instead of attending camp? And you want to know if this will affect your application to RMC? Only you can decide whether it will be worth it. As for RMC, many many many candidates will not have any cadet camp or cadet experience. There is no requirement to do...

Will the accelerated version give you a Bachelor in Nursing at the end? If yes, it should be OK, but typically your summers as an ROTP candidate are used for BMOQ and other courses you will need.

I only mentioned the commuting allowance as a thing that exists for reservists. O did also state to go to the OR to check eligibility. Travel assistance is a thing to but neither of these things are things I’m an expert in hence the advice to go to the orderly room to check requirements and...

That’s what I meant by pay your gas. I do know they pay your mileage, it’s not a reimbursement. It is a set rate based on where you are leaving from to CFLRS. I only brought it up because someone mentioned CFLRS. Reservists do have access to a commuting allowance depending on where they live...

Again this is the enrolment medical forum. You might do better in the recruiting process forum. You are expected to be open and honest about your medical history.

Well for starters, this question might get more traction in the recruiting forum. This is the section for enrolment medical questions. Yes you can apply with only a Grade 10 education, but you will be competing against high school graduates and college graduates, so your application will be...

If it says selected, anywhere up to 2 weeks to receive your offer. Longer than that and they either have the wrong contact info for you, or they are just having a hard time reaching you. After 2 weeks I would reach out to the CFRC and ask.

You will likely leave with just about everything that was issued to you, and anything you are missing and needed for RMC will get reissued to you when you get there. Not that you get to keep any of them for life, you will be returning everything that is not considered "next to skin" when you...

It's the exacta card, that you swipe for meals, you swipe to record your ins and outs of the mega.
