Trades Applied For
1. Infantry
2. Combat Engineer

After being very worried about my CFAT, it turns out I made all trades. However, during the drug screening I was very honest about my past use of weed. Despite onky using the drug once in August of 2015 and all thebother past use being in 2014. Due to this, I was told I would have to wait until August 2016 and re-apply, but that my CFAT score would stay.  I do accept full resposability for actions, and realize it was dumb choice .I have a couple of questions about my wait time.
1. Is there anyway I can have this time reduced?
2. Will already having my CFAT done make the process quicker the second time around?
3. I feel I explained the frquency of my use very poorly during the interveiw after my CFAT, is there anyway I could re-explain myself to have the time reduced? 

Thank You to whoever can take the time to answer my questions. It will help ease my mind a little bit.
God Bless

Enrollment/Swear in:
BMQ Begins:

More than two years in the recruitment system for a highly in demand trade all because of not one, but three separate computer glitches with my application (Japanese postal code caused the recruiting system to send my application to a black hole in Halifax for 4 months and also TWO failed security clearance checks because the automatic system would not accept my home address in Japan while my University address was in Canada while on exchange).

I applied when I was 32, I am now 34. I don't see myself getting in any time soon either since I need to redo my medical and interview due to both having expired. What a punch in the gut this has been. At least I am in much better shape now and my will to complete BMQ will be strong as I don't want this wait to have been in vain.

Hello Everyone,
I called the center today and they said they are still waiting for the OK from Borden to give me the dates of the medical examination and interview. And Borden would send the response after the selection dates. (They did my background Checking before my medical & interview since i lived another country)
Now my question is: Does anyone know the selection dates for Officers in Aerospace Engineering or Aerospace Control?
Thank you

There is a thread dedicated to selection dates

look/post there (check the past couple of pages)

cheers
