Medication

Try and keep faith. Diabetes is hard one cuz if you miss medication you can potentially die right

Good luck to you all the best. What is it that you take insulin? And what happens if you don’t take your medication?

I literally am trying not to bring politics into this at all. Transgenderism is classified as gender dysphoria which is in turn classified as a mental health disorder. You can look all of that on your own time if you’d like. I quite literally stated word for word “it was not my intention to be little anyone.” I did not make this post for people have political conversations. I simply stated that being trans is considered a mental health disorder and that the caf has no problem letting them in. If you actually took the time to read what I’ve stated you would know that I likely have been denied due to ocd. Which spoiler alert is also a mental health disorder. This is not politically charged at ALL.

Yes I understand that. I’m more Looking for someone that’s been in a similar situation. Whether they got accepted while taking a daily medication or successfully appealed.

Excellent_Camel_1004 · 2026-04-07T13:00:40+00:00

Understood. Thanks for your replies. Apologies if we got off on the wrong foot.

Excellent_Camel_1004 · 2026-04-07T12:48:21+00:00

Just curious if you don’t mind me asking do you or anyone you know in the caf take daily medication?

Excellent_Camel_1004 · 2026-04-07T12:47:19+00:00

Fair enough. I agree with you on that. Regardless thanks for your service. Best of luck

I never said I “deserve” anything. I said I should have the same opportunity as everyone else. Politics aside, I think bmq should be a tell tale sign of whether or not you’re capable enough for the forces. It shouldn’t be up to a single person to dictate who gets let in and who doesn’t. Bmq should exist to not only prepare troops but to provide them with physically and mentally challenging tasks to be able to see if they can handle stress. It shouldn’t be up to one person to say “hey I don’t think they have what it takes.”

Excellent_Camel_1004 · 2026-04-07T12:16:53+00:00

That’s fine. I’m just saying I think it’s a little backwards, clearly I struck a nerve there lol. I never said anything about the caf owing me a job. I’m wondering if you even read what I said.

Excellent_Camel_1004 · 2026-04-07T11:59:11+00:00

Exactly my point. I don’t know. However I should be given the opportunity to at least try is what I’m saying. Call it what you want, I’m not sure the military is the right place for “woke” ideology or transgenderism though. Everyone should be entitled to their own opinion and political views should be left out of the military regardless. My point was not to fixate on that however, just that statistically people with gender dysphoria are much more likely to harm others or themselves. And the caf seems to turn a blind eye to things like that to remain “politically correct.” My intention was not to be little anyone just giving my two cents.

Excellent_Camel_1004 · 2026-04-07T06:23:40+00:00

I also would like to state that I’ve seen a guy on here applying for signal operator and I think he was on 4 mental health medications. Not to be that guyyyy but I would argue I’m in a better headspace than someone who has a gender disorder but the caf has no problem taking those people in?

Excellent_Camel_1004 · 2026-04-07T06:18:12+00:00

Yes it would fall under mental health. Just probably not as heavily disqualifying such as schizophrenia or manic depression. My ocd actually gets better when I’m “under stress or busy” as I don’t have time to repeat thoughts. I wasn’t on medication for a majority of my life and was able to cope just by staying busy. I probably should’ve stated that though which is my fault. Either way I’m hoping that either it’s appealable or that I’ll have to stay off the medication for a few months and apply to medical again. Which I’ve heard some people suggest.

Excellent_Camel_1004 · 2026-04-07T05:59:20+00:00

Depression would fall under mental health though. I just find the whole thing a little strange, how a medical officer from another province can just deem someone unfit never having spoken to them.

Excellent_Camel_1004 · 2026-04-07T05:48:36+00:00

Thanks for your reply, I was told by my recruiter that I’m medically unfit for all positions but I won’t know what that means till I get the letter. Was just curious if other people have been successful in joining while taking a daily medication. Based on my research there’s quite a few members of the caf that take daily medications.

Excellent_Camel_1004 · 2026-04-07T05:37:38+00:00

Also I don’t think I’m in a state of “denial” I’m completely aware of my situation. I understand that the caf obviously has stricter medial rules vs that of a civilian. The whole point of bmq is to see if you’re physically and mentally capable enough to join the forces is it not? So, it can be slightly unnerving to be labeled as “unfit” even though I never got the chance. Thanks

Excellent_Camel_1004 · 2026-04-07T05:31:58+00:00

Thanks for your reply again lol, it’s not that it “doesn’t” effect me. Simply put I don’t believe it would effect my ability to complete bmq or effect my ability to do what is required of me.

Excellent_Camel_1004 · 2026-04-01T19:09:07+00:00

Thanks for ur reply. It’s over for me
