Hi mmmjon,

Question #1: Initial Contract. I believe the initial contract is of a 2 year term, but will I have the option to chose a longer one? What are the benefits of doing so?

4 Years for Combat Engineer...  At least that`s what I was told when I got my call.  I wasn`t given an option to chose a longer contract, but if I understand correctly your contract is the minimum number of years you`re required to serve.  It stops people from using the military for a free education then leaving right away.

Have you called the RC? If not, I'd definitely recommend calling as the Combat Engineer trade is accepting applications and they might be able to at least schedule your aptitude test and possibly follow up with the medical/physical and interview.

Good luck!

I've been told I have to wait until my application is transferred from the CFNRCC to my local recruiting center before I will be able to get anything progressed even if my trades are processing. And of course in order to proceed to the point of further processing you must qualify for a trade that is processing.

Gotcha. Well, I'd at least recommend calling the CFNRCC to see whats going on, since you applied back in September of 2011. Maybe they'd be able to forward your file to your local RC? Of course I'm just speculating but it sounds like you should have at least done your aptitude test by now.

Once again, good luck!

Updates!

I haven't received any notification from the local RC's yet in regards to receiving my application and to be honest it would be either windsor or lodnon ontario because I live right smack dab in between the two. Ill give them both a call tomorrow to make sure though just in case.

Thanks.

I think the problem lies with the fact that is September until around the end of December I had the trade choices of Infantry, Armor and Artillery all of which were not processing. In earlier January I added Combat engineer in place of artillery.

If the application was able to give more choices I would have Chosen more, Today after a brief run in with common sense I realized some of the other trades I was interested in were processing and thought to myself.... hmmmm Other trades I would love to be a part of are open, why not switch to those instead of my current closed ones... I took two years of college for computer programming and networking why not do ACISS lol . Also if anyone needs a reason to fall in love with ACISS read "The Patrol" By Ryan Flavelle proof that true nerds can be soldiers too. (Although the book was written when Sig Op was still its own separate trade.)

Also
"The Art of War"
"For Your Tomorrow"
"Fifteen Days"

all great books

All great military related reads I know it is off topic but I figure reading these books has really helped pass the time during my process and helps get one focused on the experiences to come. If anyone has any more good biography type books/ real life accounts I would love to read them so shoot me a quick PM also if u have questions about the books I mentioned PM me. Sorry for the Shameless plug.

Regards and good luck to everyone.

I read "15 Days", it was good. Band of Brothers was pretty good too (the series)!
