Being the grey man/woman is definitely something you want to remember. If you have experience, you have an edge when it comes to drill, discipline etc... just don't flaunt it. Instructors hate this and will go out of their way to make you wish you never did it in the first place.
Everytime I read about how men and women have different standards for their Physical it astounds me. I would understand if BMQ had separate training requirements for either sex, but not if it doesn't. Further reading along the post, you can see it might have more of a negative effect on the psyche of female applicants expecting only that much.
With that said and done, I come here to thank you all for your input on this thread and all others on army.ca. I've done my research, called a few garrisons, visited my recruiting center, done my CFAT, and subsequently closed my file to attend school. Now I'm out of school (just wasn't right for me at this time) and with a new full-time job, which I'll be working for another year or so, then re-apply for employment with the Regs. Now all I need to do is get into shape so I can do moderately well on the Physical.
