So after calling my CFRC I talked to someone who helped me a lot and now I have my interview and 2 part medicals booked! So excited now but I wish I had more time because now it just seems like its going too fast even though I applied last year around February 2014.

And you're complaining???  Are you "SURE" the CF is for you? 

If you have been selected for the Medical and Interview, things sure will move quickly, so you best be prepared.

I am reapplying but because it has been less than a year my medical and interview are still valid, I originally was applied for Regular force, but it was not what I wanted.

So, I got a call today saying I could goto BMQ March 16th or the end of March (so I think that means the 30th...) but he is waiting for the final ok before I get the official offer. Would love to go this weekend but it's a little short notice. Anybody here going for the 16th? Or the 30th? I've seen a few people for the 30th, haven't seen anyone on the 16th.. Anyway he's calling back tomorrow to let me know what's happening. I'll update my info when I know more. Time to start looking up BMQ tips

 

[canuck1095]

Well, this application process is coming to an end! Got a date for March 30 BMQ. Almost 8 months of waiting was finally worth it. I'm joining the army while I'm still a teenager.
