Nice to see some of our platoon here. I packed a bunch of Walmart clothes, ended up tearing them up as rags and having clothing sent to me.  So in the end the extra clothes were put to use.  Bring rub a535. Helps a bit with the soreness as you get used to the lifestyle.

Looking for some info on what the next step would be while I await clearance.  Most of these posts are outdated so thought I'd ask and see if anything has changed. Possible to finish my second language training, if it's not French, instead of PAT? (My second language is German) Also, if...

I'll be there.  Comms research op, also out of Ottawa. 

Currently waiting on my reliability screening to be merit listed. Had a question about trade posting. I know I will most likely be posted to Letrium, but if I go Navy faction, would I be posted to a ship on east or west coasts? Also, if any comms research guys want to meet up for a pint and...

So not sure what to do, but here it is: two of my references which I work with, were away at the Maple syrup shack for a week.  Same week they called to use as my reference.  Unfortunately, reference one didnt answer because he didn't know the number.  Reference two just didn't see the call...

So I've spent the better part of the past 6 years studying in an elite mathematical economics program with such a small number of people enrolled, I have never met another person in the program (school has 25 000 people in it). I specialize in game theory, the mathematical approach to personal...

Is possible to hound them too much? I was really hoping to get into summer BMQ.

Figured that things would be quick with Fiscal Year ending soon.

Tried to find it via google and searching the fourm but did not find an answer. Is your medical and interview scheduled when you are selected for your trade (based off of CFAT and application), or is it done before hand (and eligibility is off the combined testing)?

That's dependant on if they are looking for people to fill the roll though no?

Good news! So they ended up calling me as I was getting their number to call them. Didn't get in to ROTP due to grades, which is understandable as I work two jobs to pay for school, but still good enough grades to go officer. Recruiting officer told me to try RESO in the reserves.  I sent...

So emailed recruiter, he said it was up to RMC.  Following day, RMC emails and said I was regretfully not accepted.  Emailed recruiter back to see why and what my options were, still awaiting responce. What do you all recommend? I am graduating school April 2015, should I apply to reserves for...

follow up post: so I did an application, ended up applying for MARS officer via ROTP.  Completed my CFAT and my ROTP application, sent it in a few weeks ago. I am now stuck waiting.  What do I do in the mean time?  Do I email the recruiter that I met with and see if I can get an update?

Did not want to make a new thread for this so I'll pose my question here: Just wrote the CFAT, did well (assuming as everything was open), except intO. As intO only hires internally, and it was my number one choice, I decided to go MARS which was my second choice. How difficult is it to make...
