The recruiters work there too and know all about parking. I'm from Hamilton and before the interview started the Recruiting Officer conducting my interview asked if I had enough change in the meter, if I needed to go to the bathroom, or get a glass of water. They are human too and they do...

Haha don't worry, my PT is scheduled in for today. I'm sorry if I've irritated you or come off in a bad way. That wasn't my intent at all. I'm just excited and wanted to talk to others who are attending. Noone in my family ever had or has any experience or knowledge of the forces at all or what...

I know it's not rocket science don't worry. :P You have to realize part of this is from sheer excitement to do it all, impatience of not having my list yet and a want for it all to be here already! That's all. I'm not genuinely worried over my clothes and items, I'm just really excited and...

My thoughts exactly! I'm bringing next to nothing- an iron, two changes of clothes, a blouse, runners and gym clothes, an iron, hygeine kit, a watch/alarm clock and that's it! I don't have my list of what to bring yet and I'm working full time so I don't know how much time I'll have after my...

That's awesome! I look forward to seeing all of you there and putting names to faces! :P I'm getting impatient! Artillery trade isn't open until November and I was accepted early. They called to apologize for the lacking of concrete answers for me. I don't know when my swearing in ceremony is or...

Thank-you so much! And congratulations to you too! I am so stoked! I've wanted this for 6 years but being a female it took my mom some adjusting to my decision and I wanted her blessing before I applied. After that it only took two and a half months from applying to where I am today! Awesome...

Haha that's quite alright! I'll be one of the few females in the group of men/boys so I guess we're both minorities! :P

Hi everyone! I recently got my call for my BMQ! I leave August 4th for the August 6th BMQ. I was wondering if anyone else is attending that start date and how their process is going? I am going for Artillery Soldier! I'm currently trying to figure out what all to pack and it would be awesome to...

I'm attending the same BMQ as you August 6th! I fly out August 4th! I'm going to become an Artillery Soldier. Happy to see someone else attending August 6th! :) I'm so excited, I'm still figuring out what all to pack. I want my duffel bag to be as light as possible. See you there! :)

I got the call today! I leave August 4th! Sent my application papers April 23rd! Mine moved along quite quickly! Artillery Soldier regular force here I come! :D

I concur with PrettyMaggie63. Mine said I was scheduled for the day after I applied but it actually means nothing. I received a call from the recruiting centre nine days after I applied for all my testing to be actually scheduled and my process is moving along smoothly. You have no worries.  :)

It was great! I just got home actually! It took 4 hours to do everything! There was a group of 7 of us who took the aptitude test first. We sat around after while they took us one by one to schedule other appointments or to do their interview. I was the last called so I was a little worried...

Hey everyone! It's here! My medical, aptitude and Interview are all tomorrow! Any last minute advice would be appreciated! :)

Thank-you! And Haha yes 60 push ups. I started doing them in grade 11, that was over 5 years ago. I would hope that after 5 years one would be up to 60 by now! Yes I know it is shocking to anyone who hasn't met me before. I am used to this reaction and it is ALWAYS followed by....prove it! I...

Thank-you! I am very excited! I think I'm psyching myself out actually! I've wanted this for years and now that its finally happening I'm worried I'll completely bomb all the tests, even though I was an honours student. :P Oh well, they say a little bit of nerves keeps you on your toes, let's...
