Understood.

Exactly. And I'm staying until they decide to kick me out for one reason or another.

It's not a matter of being proud of being on WFT, it is of what I accomplished during my time on WFT. I failed at something. It happens. I'd love to meet the professional soldier who is good at absolutely everything, and has never needed a hand. All WFT is, is a helping hand for those who...

Warriors come into a new platoon having completed casualty drags, ruck marches, trench digs, topo classes, and watermanship exercises to name a few. The instructors are not present 24/7 to help every last recruit. The night before a march, who do you think is helping the members of a platoon...

I will be the first to admit that I did not know how to work out properly before basic. PT has never come easily to me, but I have been given the tools to work on this deficiency. Having said this, I did not spend my last few months as a civilian bumming around playing video games - I built up...

1 in 5 that do not succeed in Warrior are not usually due to fitness, but to VRs

That may be true, and I don't believe that is the candidate's fault as much as the recruitment process. Personally, I trained for 5months before heading to BMQ, and it still wasn't enough to pass the minimum standards. Fitness comes easy to some, and not to others. Warrior and AWT are support...

As a former warrior candidate, I just want to let you know that the program is not going away, and is by no stretch of the imagination a waste of money for the CF. 4 out of 5 candidates that enter Warrior Platoon are successful graduates of CFLRS.

Your interviewer will likely explain the process after you have completed the interview. That is where I obtained the best knowledge of how my file was to be processed, and how the merit list works. I was told my local CFRC didn't have the final say in terms of a job offer. Edited to add info.

:goodpost:

I agree... back to application samples! Best of luck to everyone in the process... waiting is the hardest part.

Someone earlier posted there are about 120 openings for Inf. I'm pretty sure there are over 500 openings for ACISS. Just sayin'.

I don't see anything on this link about merit listing. Only final offers. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but (1200 + 1600 + 950 + 1200 + 3800) / 13500 = 64.8% I don't see where you're getting this third of 30,000. There's only 4,000 positions per year from what I understand. So according to...
