Greetings,
I have done some research but didn't find answers
the questions:
1. what exactly is the blood and urine test called? (basically what do they test for exactly)... Its not about illegal drugs
2. how often do you have to retest once you are a reservist, the same exact blood/urine tests?
3. what is the resting heart rate and b/p requirement?
4. do they check your health records beyond what you disclose? even if the tests results are within the norm? - (I think they probably have access to anything I've used a OHIP/health card for ... just need to confirm)
5. if they found something say high cholesterol or high blood pressure or weirdly shaped eye balls for example sake and they send you a letter saying you are disqualified for such and such, is there a way to get a waiver or something to bypass that...
I would really appreciate any help, either answers or sources
Basic info bout me
I am a upper year uni math student... want to join as a reservist... want to see some action... don't really have any trade in mind... don't mind NCO or Officer, basically I just want to be in the CF and do what I can for my country, I've wanted this since I was a little kid... I am fairly fit, okay in intelligence, don't have any serious medical conditions...
I have applied before and was rejected because blood test showed low (something? ???)... and that I disclosed I was prescribed prozac at the time (over 4 years ago) but I have never taken any medication I was prescribbled (I now have a note saying I no longer need meds lol)...
I am sure I will be a capable soldier and I am willing to do whatever I gotta do...I want to go through what they would test for with the civvies to make sure I don't disqualify myself further... that's basically it
the info I found were very descriptive but very vague...
thanks again!!!
