Unfortunately, I'm leaning towards you being correct. Terrible to hear that 'you've got really good odds' but find out those odds are only against Halifax, vice all of Canada. I apologize to you, MasterInstructor, regarding my earlier postings. It seems at this point it's still a waiting game...

Might be able to shed some light on that. I contacted my BPSO office today, spoke with the civilian administrator. She said there's a conference in Ottawa this week, and not to expect any message unless it was already cut and waiting to be released. My BPSO's email has an out-of-office message...

Well I'll try to be optimistic about it, but I'm thinking more like if it's the first offer released, it's likely someone who has already applied previously...and if there is a message for me I think it would be more like the 12th or 13th of the 15 messages. I'm not the only person to apply from...

Consider the fuel ignited. I'm waiting for LOG AIR in Shearwater, but am currently away from my unit...somehow I don't think that message is mine. This is only my first attempt.

I am giving you the answer he gave me, and it was the answer to my question of what my odds were of getting an offer. Specifically I detailed that I was aware the positions were very competitive, and was curious to know what the standings were, and he obliged. I found my interviewer to be very...

I received my info for LOG, 15 positions and 16 applicants, from the BPSO during my interview.

Occasionally I'm sure that happens. Apparently the message is supposed to go to your message center/OR, as well as the BPSO. Still waiting for LOG, fingers crossed.

I'll have to apologize, I was reading the SIP incorrectly. It made sense to me the way I was reading it, but that was just coincidental. The 17/18 SIP was last years, which would make 16/17 the one which had 10 LOG positions. Some good news though, I just spoke with BPSO Halifax and they...

I'm having difficulty tracking historical ones; if you could provide a link I would greatly appreciate it. Calculating 15 this year(17/18 SIP), 15 last year(16/17 SIP), 10 the year before that(15/16 SIP) - that's a 50% increase between last year and the previous. If we go back to about...

Ah, from what I understand there are 15 positions for this year. From my understanding, previous years have had as low as 6/8 positions. Also, I don't believe your offer position changes such as it would for postings/promotions; if you score let's say 90 last year, and are the ninth person and...

I can say positively that he said there were 16 applicants and 15 positions. The only other way I can construe that, is if there were '16 applicants for Halifax' and 15 positions across Canada. I'm still trying to think positive. On the off chance, could it be for strategic planning purposes...

Any idea on your stats? From what I understand it's CFAT, grades/courses and interview which covers your potential of receiving an offer or not...I don't know the exact figures though, just that it's 60 points for the CFAT. I'm curious how bad the odds really are; when I had my interview, BPSO...

I am inferring that the Intake To-Date column refers to applicants, as the UTPNCM value would not change over time if it was referring to the previous year's applicants/intake (given the application period of approx. Oct-Jan). Of course, I could be wrong, it just fits together too smoothly with...

You are correct in your original interpretation, I believe. I had my interview mid Feb, the BPSO advised me there were 15 positions and 16 applicants this year. Following this, the intake for the SIP applies to the past year, 17/18, when we applied(the intake for 17/18 shows applications for...

I rolled army first, so it won't kill me to flip back over the fence. I'll just wait and see what comes; a DEU change won't stop me from accepting an offer.
