Update April 1st, 2004 My security clearance is being processed now. Since I have been out of the country, it could take anywhere from 3-18 months. Guess I will get another research job while I wait. Sigh. Academics. The love hate relationship.

Update, Jan. 7, 2005 Security clearance has been cleared. It took a long 8 months, and I am pretty happy to finally be moving on.

Update Feb 22, 2005 Changed my trade choices, and under the advice of my career advisor I added a fourth choice. Engineer Officer and Armoured have very few positions open this coming selection board (less than 15 positions each), and the odds of me being picked are unclear. Infantry and Signals have lots of positions open, so I should get picked if I am beat out by the competition in the first two trades. I neglected to update, but my interview went really well. My medical is currently in Borden being processed, should hear back sometime in March.

Update March 1, 2005 Medical file came back from Borden, no problems. The only hurdle left is the selection board.

Update September 20th, 2005:   Offer came in. I got Engineer Officer like I had hoped. I seemed to do very well in the selection process for not having a Engineering degree specifically. From what  I understand there were about 40 applicants, at which 18 were chosen including myself. 15 were trained this September so I got put on the wait list for January IAP/BOTP. I am very happy to get Engineer Officer as I feel it is the best fit for my skills. I get sworn in around December 7th, and will being IAP January 10th.  Been a long road and I think I am still in a state of shock, lol.

Total time from submitting application to getting official offer: 619 days
