Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[CountDC]

I just always thought it was the usual "hurry up and wait" mentality of the CF! My job choice can be ridiculously fast paced, or be reallll slow. If you want something badly, the question isn't why are you waiting... it's why WOULDN'T you wait?

I wouldn't because I have gone without food or a place to live and much prefer to be able to go home and eat. A great deal of potentially good recruits are lost because they can not afford to wait a year or more for a job so they find something else. By the time the recruiting staff get back to them it is too late as the member has moved on.

Must be losing my touch as my sarcasm was wasted.

Was wasted because everyone I have personally known that had to wait for a long time there was nothing wrong - it was the system - our next opening for medicals is 3 months, testing is this date (oops out of town) or we will get back to you 6 months latter.  Know of a Cpl working full time reserve that has been waiting 18 months to get in a trade that is short - problem?? maybe over qualified??  I have also helped with recruiting at a reserve unit and experienced the hassle that can be.

In the folder I got, I'm thinking you got one as well, there was a business type card, with the phone/fax number... and the address. It's probably on that, and even if it isn't take a stroll down to the CFRC, and talk to them.

So after doing my application and waiting for a call back I called them to see what was going on. When I called they had no information on me, so now I have to go do my whole application over again and I dont understand why this happened, laziness maybe maybe they where over-whelmingly busy?? who knows, but all my personnel information is floating around somewhere now. Just goes to show you that you gotta keep on them, and watch over the whole application process and make sure your recruiter is doing their job. Now I have to drive 2 hours away just to fill out an application again and wait, AGAIN.

I'm confused.

DEO Reg??

Yet you've listed the recruiter for the PEI Regiment at the Queen Charlotte Armouries?? That's Res F.

Why not the RegF CFRC Charlottetown down in the Mall who handle RegF applicants?

yeah, it's DEO, but I put the reg info just to make the distinction between that and reserves officer. It's the recruiting office in the BDC building on Kent street, if you're local. <CFB/ASU Gagetown, Det Charlottetown>
