Topic: MP recruiting 2017/18

[garb811]

The percentage of pers who “succeed” at MPAC isn’t really relevant to anything. As long as you are successful, then it is a question of how far down you are on the selection list as to whether or not you get called.

Where you are on the selection list is no longer only determined by MPAC so the key is to not only be successful at MPAC but to get the best possible scores you can get throughout the recruiting process.

The simple fact that you were invited to Borden is an indication that you are at least competitive with the other pers at that stage of the process though.

Garb, as an MPO candidate, will I have any classes with MP candidates during BMOQ or Borden? or is my training only with other officer applicants only?

[garb811]

The other candidates on your courses will be officers only, although you may have some previous NCMs who are being commissioned under an in service program.

You will be instructed by a combination of officers and NCMs.

Hey garb, you seem to be the one with the info. I'm ot'ing and wasn't part of this mpac, my references have been contacted and what not, I've also had my bpso interview. Curious if you know of any future mpacs?

[garb811]

Don't know the exact dates but I'm hearing the next round of BIIs will be sometime in Feb.

Awesome, thanks!

Good Afternoon,

I too was recently informed that I successfully completed MPAC. I was at the Oct 28th, 2018 interview at CFB Borden. I contacted my recruiter from my local office on Nov 20th when I found out I passed and he said that they are doing two selections in December, one on the 5th and one on the 12th. I am a recruit school by-pass because I was recently a Combat Engineer, before I went back to school for Law and Security. I'm curious to know what those 2 selection dates mean? will the MP recruiters inform us on one of those dates if we are selected or will it be passed on to our local recruiting centre for further processing? Also, does anyone know if the QL3 in Jan is full or not?

Thank you,

[garb811]

Yes, if you were selected, your CFRC will be the one making contact.

For the QL3 in Jan? Not a clue but there is a backlog built up from when they had to cancel one of the QL3 serials in Aug. What has happened to some bypasses in the past is they get enrolled and sent on OJE at a base close to where they are being recruited from. Not saying this will happen with you if you are selected and the QL3 is full but it is a possibility.

[pte.tet]

Thank you for the quick reply GARB811. Yes my CFRC did say that OJE was potentially an option if the QL3 was full.  I guess I will just continue being patient and hope that my score was good enough. Im a bit eager, as I've been at this since Aug 2016 when I reenrolled, but was snagged at the medical because of an old injury I had on my file. But with a little determination and persistence I've made it this far, so whats another little bit right! Good luck to everyone else out there in this process.

Pte.tet,

I was in the exact same position as you last year. I had the bypass and was lucky enough to jump on the Jan 2018 QL3. They called me Christmas Eve and said I was leaving for Borden on the 8th of Jan. Was all a quick process. From what I gather like Garb stated, the 3s are pretty backlogged now cause of a staff shortage in Borden. So if selected OJE is looking pretty likely until slotted on a course. Not a bad thing though. OJE is a pretty cushy go depending on you chain.

As for the two selections in December you stated, how many applicants per selection date get an offer?

[mphopeful19]

Anyone waiting for the February 2019 MPAC sessions? I am hoping I get selected. Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat.

That is wicked! Congratulations! Have fun at BMQ, hopefully the rest of us will get offers soon.
