Of the 3 trade choices, I was told my CFAT and interview qualifies me for Aerospace Controller, Navy Intelligence, and MARS Officer. I said I would challenge for the Intelligence position and my file was sent to a pre-selection officer for the NOAB on Jan 8, 2008. Will I even get to the NOAB if my medical is not done?

I've been merit listed for MARS as I have switched my 1st preference from Pilot (the two year wait for training despite my pilots license is a bit concerning...), though I have been declared medically fit for both Pilot and MARS.  I should hopefully be going to NOAB sometime in February or March.  If that does not work out, then it's off to ASC for me whenever they decide to re-open.  Everything has gone largely smoothly (aside from one hiccup on my end), and the people at CFRC have been friendly and cooperative.  Hopefully I will know soon when my NOAB is!

You were contacted before you applied?? ;D

 

[zweetz]

oh I thought that meant the first time I contacted the recruitment centre. My mistake.

First contact is the first contact you receive from the CFRC after you apply.

I would have been in a lot sooner but when I first applied I only had grade 10. During the interview the recruiter suggested I put my file on hold till I got grade 12 since I was still currently enrolled in school. Could have had my file put threw then but decided to wait. And glad I did : )

Had my medical, went great and was told that I am now merit-listed by the guy who did my medical. Not sure if that means it's official but it's something...

Anyway, I was informed that my medical would be sent to Ottawa and should get a letter in 2-3 weeks. Not sure what this "letter" would be and he didn't elaborate. The captain who did my interview mentioned that I was pretty quick to get all my forms in, I just said I was anxious to get started. Hope that's a good thing!
