New fiscal year numbers

[Scratch_043]

As many of you know, today is the beginning of the new fiscal year, and as such, the recruiting centres recieved a list of how mant soldiers are needed this fiscal year (today through March 31, 2006)

I only fould out the numbers for the trades I applied for, but I was wondering what the rest of the numbers looked like.

The numbers I was given were:

Trade 421, Weapons Tech. (land) - 10  - that's right, ten -

Trade 031, Infantry - 600

Trade 043, Cbt. Engineers - 200

That HAS to be an omen.  They are going to lose more than that through attrition.  I guess the "New 5000" has not been funded.  What were the stats for 04/05?

The strategic intake plan (SIP) for FY 05/06 is not much different than it was for FY 04/05, maybe a little higher.  Grown ups have not made a decision on whether to increase the SIP by another thousand to start the intake for the five thousand in five years.  The check is in the mail.

ToRN, where did you get these numbers from? Recruiting center, or is there a online source?  Just curious.

 

[Scratch_043]

well, I am also looking for a source of more numbers, hence my origional post.

yes, I got those 3 numbers from the recruiting centre. (I started my appilcation file yesterday)

April is the perfect time to apply, hence the newly alloted positions.

yeah, I'm glad I did it now, all my testing *crosses fingers* will hopefully be done on May 4th (the PT and Med. are tentatively scheduled for the 4th, as the schedule has not been made up yet. but my Interview is on the 4th, and my CFAT is Apr. 20th, would have been earlier, but I need 2 weeks to book a day off work for it.

ToRN,

where have you been ? I havent had anybody like you to pick on lately.

If you get 043, i'm gonna make your life a living hell at CFSME..... ;D

 

[Scratch_043]

Go for it, I could use the amusement.

I have been working, and working out, more and more the past few weeks / months, so I have cut back my time here.

Hopefully I will get there this year. who knows how long I will be waiting after my testing is done

Kincanucks,

Keeping in mind you mentioned that non-direct entry trades were removed, does this mean that a recruiting centre will enroll Int Ops and Ammo Techs?

Int op is in the list.  Ammo Tech is zero.

 

[Scratch_043]

Thanks kincanucks, that is the list I was looking for.

 

[Navalsnpr]

Also, numbers from this list will be affected by re-musters within the Regular Force.

When I went to my CFRC and spoke to a recruiter, he mentioned a couple trades (eg. Fire Ftr) that were highly competitive with a large number of applicants. He said he was not trying to dissuade me from applying for certain trades, but mentioned it so that I was aware that some may be more difficult to enter than others. Are the numbers of applicants for trades available, and would any CFRC have them readily available?

I very strongly doubt that those number would be made available to the public.

If they are very few positions for certain trades you will know that the competition for those trades will be fierce.   The lower the number the harder it will be for you to get that trade unless you have related experience and education.   You don't need to know how many are applying for a certain trade you just need to know the number of positions available for the trade.

The number of people in process for certain trades is only known to CFRG HQ and they are not going to even tell me what they are.

If I submit 3 trade choices and am willing to wait for my 1st choice through a few selection processes, can I do that if I receive an offer for my 2nd or 3rd choices? If I was merit listed but had no offer, at what point would I know that I am not likely to get in? I have almost arrived at the decision that if I do not get in to 737 with my first application, I will go to school to get educated for it and re-apply.

Turn down an offer for your second or third choice and you get one more shot at the selection process.  Don't get any of your choices or get an offer for second or third choice and turn it down again then your file is closed for a minimum of one year.  Turn down your first choice at anytime and your file is closed for a minimum of six months.

If all you want is 737 then only put that down and you get two shots at being selected.  If you don't get selected then you go off and improve yourself through education or experience and come back later

Excellent, thanks kincanucks!
