Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[Mike92]

Thanks scriptox,

My plan is to switch is to Regular Force Combat Arms after university. I am not sure whether or not I will go the Officer or NCM route ???. University is more of a backup plan in the event the military doesn't workout for me for whatever reason. For the moment I am applying for NCM, specifically Crewman. :threat:


Today, I finished most of my application and will send it off after I confirm some dates and information.

With respect,

Michael K.

[SupersonicMax]

Well, people normally don't work on week ends.  You are probably waiting for nothing, at least until Monday at 8AM.

 

[aesop081]

???

You honestly have no idea what i am talking about do you ?

 

[Mike92]

I can't say that I do.

I'm guessing it's to do with what SupersonicMax said about the recruiting centers possibly being closed on weekends??

With respect,

:brickwall:

Yes, recruiting centres are closed on weekends. You will not get much in the way of a reply today. You can relax and step away from your email.

 

[Mike92]

Oh... OK.

Thanks for the prompt response and thanks for being patient with me.

So, you are 19 years old and can't figure this out?

 

[Blake_331]

Wait, they email applicants? I had been expecting a phone call... well, expecting one this month, I don't think it will get onto a desk until this week if I'm luck.

Did the planet stop its rotation ?

Why didn't you apply to ROTP, both you and your parents win in that case. You get to join the CF, and your parents get to see you get a degree... Its not to late actually, as long as you apply at least 2 years before completion of your degree.

Just something to think about.

When I went through this before, I had never been contacted by email. I was sincerely asking if they reply by email now.

No, they will call you.
