It is called a step test and you don't do any running.  The times for the 2.4 km are only a guide and you can meet or beat the times for your age group then you should be successful on the step test.  Do some research.

Are you saying that there is no running involved ?
they just test you on your push ups and  sit  ups and step ups?
YOU HAVE JUST SAVED ME A LOT OF WORRYING.
so all i have to do is  practise step ups and i'll be fine ?

that I know , but the important thing is that there is no runing involved.
 
no theres no running involved, but still if i were you i wouldnt stop including running in your workout cause really they determine the condition of your lungs and heart by the step-up test so the more in shape they are the better. So dont stop running, cause im sure they'll make you do plenty of it during BMQ!!!
 
would it work if I do 30 min of  step ups every day ? Cuz i live in a very cramped area.
 
i suppose so, i mean any type of cardiovascular exercise would do, you could try doing jumping jacks or running on the spot. If you live in an apartment are a building with lots of stairs you could jog up and down those for a good workout too.

Ya, you all want it done double quick.  However, I agree that 3 weeks is too long waiting for a pers file to be sent.  But that is a big bottleneck with Component Transfer appliications: we wait for docs to come, sometimes from all over the country.  Realize that you are among many, many, many other component transfer files where the exact same thing is happening.  You cannot expect this process to wrap up in just a few months.  There are far too many variables and too much processing to do.  Although some get in quick, it is rare and totally dependent on luck.

Let us get this straight: the first order of business is to support our troops in harms way.  The recruiting world is a bit detached from that, but the clerks working at the units are not.  They get tasked with all sorts of stuff, believe it or not, more important than your component transfer application.  So you just have to accept it.  If the 3 weeks was due to laziness and unorganization, than you have me on your side, but be mindful of how much paper a clerk has to push and stuff going on behind the scenes that you are not aware of.

1st, yes I realize that this post was many moons ago, but I think the CDS is making it clear ( maybe as mud) that he wants the CT process for "desireable" applicants to be faster??

I am one of the lucky CT types, I am still in a full-time billet with the PRes, so I am still making my pay, gettin it done, and all that...

But, if there is a way to speed up the CT for the ones the Reg Frce wants/needs, then I say go for it.

Well guys, I applied for the Reserves in June, and am undertaking the physical test next week. Dealing with CFRC Toronto has been pretty easy, and despite a 2 week gap where i had to get additional medical information, I am nearly done.

As to Homer, if your CFRC is anything like mine...you will be doing a step test in place of running, and it is covered in more detail throughout this website.

Cheers,

Troops.

Go to the top of the previous page, Page 12 in this thread.  Read what KinCanuuks posted.

Why?

He worked in a CFRC longer than some of you have been trying to get in.

Ok, sorry MOST of you have been trying to get in.

In the army, we call them SMEs.  Subject Matter Experts.

Mud...out!   ;D
 
Hey everybody, I am 58 minutes old and counting in army.ca
Thought I would make a new poll. I just started my application yesterday 10/23/06 in London, ON. I am looking for some feedback about wait times.
Guess I am just eager to get going...

Thanks
:)
