Hey All, I figured I would record the process of my application for two reasons: 1) To help inform future recruits about what they can expect and such, and 2) To get laughs out of everyone who has already been there.
Story So Far:
I got my application together on Oct 8/04 (Friday if i rememebr right) and handed it in to the recruiting center in Calgary. I applied for reg force 031 Infantry, with armoured and medic as 2nd and 3rd choices, and in hopes of getting on with the 3rd PPCLI. The next wednesday, they got a hold of me saying that I didn't qualify for being a Medic. I already knew this, and said it was no trouble. Then the Next wednesday, Oct 13th, I was contacted to schedule an apptitude test, and when would be a good time. As I was in the process of moving to edmonton, I told them what was going on, and was told that since they had just opened my application, they would transfer up to edmonton if I wished. I said that would be fine, and as of Friday Oct 15, I have an application open in Edmonton for 031 Reg Force.
That being said, on Nov 22 I have an appointment for laser eye surgery, as my eyes are crap, and would not pass the Combat Arms pre-requisite. So I will let everyone know what the army thinks about such and how it will affect my medical.
I will keep everyone posted as to what happens in the future. Cheers -Cameron
