Muffin would know better than anyone... 

Sounds like a long time.. just be sure to ask that your
recruiting time all counts for "time in" towards your pension and CD

Raj,

How do you know that person got "screwed"?  Do you know all of the circumstances?  There are different reasons for everything and I hardly think you being in the military since coffee break gives you the experience or knowledge to decided that.
I agree that is took a long time, and I don't know why that would be either.  Perhaps there is more to the story.  That is between that person and the recruiting centre to figure out.

Stop confusing ERC with pre-sec and vice versa. The ERC is a five year check and is not done by CSIS and must be completed before a pre-sec can be done, which is done by CSIS and which goes back ten years and is not a Level 3 check.  It is a pre-sec plain and simple.
