I assumed it was something like that...in a way I am hoping it is something minor with my urine so I can take a retest....either way I have really been on the medic to find out the issue of why I was catergorized a 3. My file apparently did not get approved by the medical officer in Borden as my recruiter told me i had a "pending" beside my name meaning one of two things....either the RMO is writing a letter stating why I am a 3 OR my file has been sent to Ottawa to be further looked at by possibly a specialist........SHe also mentioned if my file is still not approved by the DEO cutoff date and there is a good chance I can get the issue resolved they will send my file to the selection board with being hired dependant on my medical being approved before BOTC

I am assuming that this "strip" was a urinalysis test strip which has multiple pads on it that test for many different things. Some of these may include: protein, blood, white blood cells, specific gravity (which is not very accurate), pH, bilirubin, etc.
This test gives the tester an idea of what might be happening with the urine although usually, if there is a medical problem, a complete urinalysis would be indicated.
If they found protein in your urine I would hope they would do a complete test to see what it might be.

Having just recently gone through the screening myself let me share my experience. I had to retest twice as a result of protein found in my urine.
Protein is checked because is may show an early indication of Kidney disease. For a spot check by dipstick: the normal values are approximately 0 to 8 mg/dl. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different provinces. If found it could indicate one of the following:
Amyloidosis
Bacterial pyelonephritis
Bladder tumor
Congestive heart failure (inadequately perfusing the kidneys)
Diabetic nephropathy
Glomerulonephritis
Goodpasture's syndrome
Heavy metal poisoning
Lupus erythematosus
Malignant hypertension
Multiple myeloma
Nephrotic syndrome
Nephrotoxic drug therapy
Polycystic kidney disease
Preeclampsia
Protein was found in my urine and I had to retest. On the second test it was found again, however both tests showed very low levels. My physician went over me again produced a letter that stated my results were normal for an "physically active male." My file was sent to Bordon and approved. While in Downsview I asked about it and the flight surgeon said not to worry. I was pronounced medically fit for pilot three weeks ago.
As an aside, my wife and I were trying to conceive that week. I'll let you put two and two together.

During the medical do you have to do a urine test ? , because I know a guy who does drugs and he asked me to do a urine sample for him if there is one , so do you have to take a urine test ?

First, if you piss in a cup for him , then he goes to the medical with a pre-pissed in cup they might not be too happy, as it could easily be something as simple as water, sugar and food colouring for all they know, i mean, their not going to taste or smell it
. second, depending on what drugs he does, you should let him do this himself, think about what your considering doing think about the soldiers he could end up training with, not to mention himself and the civilians around him who he could pose a serious threat and danger to, if your honestly considering to do this, you should pull your own application out of the process in MY opinion for you have already shown what kind of person you are and what kind of choices you make.

PG44,
See the Drug Use related threads in the Recruting FAQ. After you read them, sit your friend down at a computer and make him read them too.

Is this guy serious?
When I did my urine test they had me take a cup to the restroom, which was in a secure area of CFRC Vancouver, do my business and then leave the cup on a shelf in the restroom.
So unless you and your friend can somehow figure out how to get past the front desk and into the secure area of the CFRC without raising any suspicion then you're SOL. And then of course you have to figure out how your buddy is going to hand the cup off to you without catching the medic's attention. Give me a break...
Besides, why would you want to do something like this in first place. I think its despicalbe that someone would try and cheat like that.
If you or your buddy is doing drugs then stop now and get clean before you sign up.

As far as pissing in a cup for somebody else....DON'T...If not for the moral reasons, consider this:
You're on a range....you have LIVE ammo....buddy next to you has LIVE ammo....he does drugs...he has a flash back, or wasn't paying attention, or forgot to safe his weapon...and somebody is hurt or KILLED....
if you knew, and could have prevented this individual, how responsible would you feel...even if he's a good buddy of yours, consider that you may be endangering yourself, other soldiers, or the person in question...If he really want's in, and is worried about the piss test, he can always wait the time that it's out of his system...quit using...and try later...
enough said, there are numerous threads on that subject
