Congrats.

So far it's going well. The CFAT allowed me to qualify for all trades, but my Gr. 10 education didn't . Passed the interview and right now I am just waiting for my medical and security clearance to be cleared. I think I enjoyed doing the Med/Int/CFAT more than the waiting so far. I would have to say this made me more excited than Christmas  ;D.

So you got pretty high on CFAT but your Gr10 made it so some were not available? darn. I did good on CFAT too, but not AS good I guess  :blotto: Hopefully the medical gets done fast for you, with the holidays coming up and selection board in January.

Hopefully the medical gets done fast for you, with the holidays coming up and selection board in January.

Thanks  . From what I understand from reading the boards is that Sig Op is OSL. So once/if my medical and security is approved the local recruitment center would be able to make the job offer directly.

I see you also applied at CFRC Halifax. How long do you have to sit until they do selections for 09-10 ROTP? It hasn't even been a full week for me and I'm having trouble passing time quickly, so I can imagine having to wait months would be killer.

After reading quite a number of negative stories about the recruitment process I've been extremely impressed with how smooth/fast it has been so far. I havn't had one mishap yet and all the estimated times given by recruiters/career counsellors have been pretty much bang on.

No.  Really!  Don't you know that members of the CF work 24 and 7, 52 weeks of the year.  They have no lives, but to answer your inquiries about joining the CF whenever you feel the urge to give them a call.  They can even post date your documents so that you can do other things. 

Use some common sense. 

The kid probably made a typo.

right  :

It's easy to be critical of other orgs, but the numbers alone speak for themselves, almost doubling the number of intakes over the past 4 years, with only a minimal increase in staff... My opinion is that more work needs to be done on the retention side , and I am confident that CMP will have a news on how this will be addressed sometime in the New Year.

I was guessing time travel myself, but typo might explain it too.

The outline was likely copied and pasted. Ergo, the idea is that the interview will take place or will be completed on Dec. 17th. Are you just nit picking because you are bored?

I think they do a great job considering how quickly things change within this particular organization.  8)
