Perfect. Thanks again man.

I appreciate the quick answers fellas... I've had this all wrong for quite some time now.. I was always under the impression that we had to go to our Doctor and have all of our medical history printed off and brought to them and that.... Thanks for setting me straight guys.

Ahh... See I've got this ass backwards.. We give our medical history to the recruitment centre I take it and they make their own files based on that and the physical medical test they give us.... But even still.. What if someone has no documented medical history and has only been to clinics?

Not me personally. The CFRC told me that Borden is where the medical files go. I'm talking about the medical history that we have to get from our family doctor.. What happens if someone doesn't have any since they had never had a family doctor?

Hi, I posted once before about this sometime in late October 2004.. Since then I've gone back to see my neurologist and what I said would likely happen in my October post happened..... My epilepsy test came back negative!!.... now this should come as terrific news to me.. but.. no.. My...

I'm just wondering what is, if in existence, Canada's equivalent to elite teams like the Navy Seals or the SWCC, etc. What are they called? What do they do? Do they have a website? I'm not interested in applying, just interested in learning. Thanks in advance.

Ruck march, forced march?... are we talking walking or literally marching?

When I went to the recruitment office about 3 weeks ago, down her in Windsor, Ontario - a recruiter told me that i could submit my application, and be accepted even before Borden looked at my medical....  I thought it was kind of stupid. Why start something you might not be able to finish?

I appreciate the info.. Luckily enough I guess, my diagnosis is not set in stone.. I was sent for a sleep deprived EEG in June.. In about a month I'm going to see my Neurologist again for the results.. They say that Epilepsy shows through when you're extremely tired. Considering my seizures...

Hi, my name's Alex.. I'm 18 in Windsor, Ontario. For the past 6 years I've had plans to join the Reserves, preferably Infantry. With plans to join the Regular Force later on. However, this summer I was diagnosed with epilepsy.. I've had maybe 5 serizures in my life time, sometimes up to 2 and...
