Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[Flatliner]

I suppose I should share my experience thus far:

Recruiting Center: Charlottetown, PE
Officer/NCM: NCM
Reg/ reserves: Reg
Trade Choice 1: ACISS
Trade Choice 2: RMS Clerk
Trade Choice 3: --
Application date: August 2013 (reapplied due to weird issue July 2014)
First contact: August 22, 2014
CFAT: September 16, 2014
Interview: October 15, 2014
Medical: October 14, 2014
Merit Listed: TBD
Position offered: TBD

I had originally applied in August of 2013 but for no reason at all my application was closed, this was what was told to me when I went in earlier this year to the recruiting center closest to where I moved after my initial application. I reapplied while there and the process since has been quite smooth.

Playing the long game on this application Interview was successful, now to await my call for ACS at some point between now and whenever. Also updated my trades to better reflect my desire to be on the sharper end of the RCAF stick.

[Offstar1029]

Here we go! Super excited to get this process going. Can't actually be sworn in until 1 July 2015 (haven't finished grade 10 until then), but hoping to get the majority of the process done by then, and hopefully be on a summer or fall/winter BMQ in 2015!

Your in grade 10? So your just going to leave school once your done grade 10 to go into the reserves?

 

[Offstar1029]

No, I'm doing part-time until after university so that I can finish my education. Reserves aren't a full-time commitment, and quite a large amount of reservists are actually students. The fall/winter BMQ would be on weekends.

Oh ok I was thinking you were planning to drop out of school after grade 10 to join the reserves. Some people will do that which is a bad idea. Anyways good luck with your process.  ;D
