I'm at the background checks stage, which seem to be what is the longest hold up for me so far. Not sure if it's because they didn't have my marriage cert. (Granted never asked for it). But then I know that there is a lot of BMQ in July/ Aug and again in sept. So they are probably going thru a...

Congrats on the offer, that's a long wait. Question for everyone, how do you stay motivated to keep working out when it is taking forever? I enjoy going and working out 2-3 times a week usually but I'm really trying to get fit for BMQ So 5 is better, but working 50 hrs a week and raising 2...

I good luck you two. I hope you do great. I (and good luck to everyone else going soon too)  I hope to see you guys there soon, and that you'll be sharing all your newly gained wisdom with us. Lol

Anyone hear anything from the selections on July 13th? Or know of any BMQ dates after Aug 17th? Wondering if they are still every week for a while longer or starts showing down.

Nice on the background checks, that will definitely put you ahead. It doesn't say on the site if there are any after Aug 17. But they had them last year. So I'm assuming so. Hopefully they will update that soon so that I know of other possible dates I might get into.

Hey jonathancharrier, everyone is different. I went for my medical on may 20, had to do a eye Dr form that went in on the 28th, it was sent in on June 30th and came back on July 16. But that's just an example. As for starting in Aug. Good luck on that because after the medical is the background...

Selections July 27 and I think Aug 10th. Fingers crossed lol

So how goes the prep for those of you that know your BMQ dates? And the physical prep for those of us that don't? I just did a 5 km with my brother (holidays are wonderful, though still waking up at 5:30 to run)  still needs improvement but way better as I keep it up. Finally got a belt for...

I wouldn't of phoned at all this week cause I talked to my interviewer last week but I really wanted to see if I had been merit listed before this weekend to make the selection date next week. Was holding out hope for it but not so. Nothing to call about after this for a while. Nothing more then...

Still not merit listed, thinking my interviewer was being optimistic about how fast the security clearance go. So looks like I probably won't make the next selection, on July 13th. Which sucks but I'll get there eventually. Just gives me more time to get into better shape. Went running this...

Nice! Not much more now.

I wish it was that easy. I would love to be able to go workout instead of thinking about waiting. Unfortunately most of the time I'm thinking is when I'm at work. (A lot of my job is not mentally challenging so it leaves my mind open to wonder) Even now whenever I'm on here I'm at work, waiting...

Deskjockey43 sounds like you have a busy couple of weeks. I think that if/ when I get an offer chances are I'll end up working and training someone until the weekend before I leave lol. Though I might end up taking extra long lunches for extra PT.  I'm really hoping that I get Aug 10th now...

Colta, from the sounds of it you are in the exact spot as me, my interviewer said I have high chances of merit listed for the selection. I'm hoping that's what happens. FarmerD, I know what you mean about a lot of time to think about the what if's. I think that's half the problem. Helps coming...

Well another week of waiting done. I have one more week of work and then I get to go on holidays so hopefully the next two weeks go by fast and I'm distracted the whole time. Then that gets me past the next selection date. 

So true about the sleep deprivation and kids lol I'm still getting woken up at least 2 times a night lol. My problem is that the job I'm at now I only sit for maybe an hour a day for lunch and coffee, so I'm use to waking around or standing a lot. So sitting down listening to people will be...

Wouldn't that be nice if it was a break mentality. I have dealt with my husband being deployed or away lots. So I know what it's like to be home alone with and without kids, and if basic is easier then that mentally I'll look forward to that lol. But I think it will be neat being the one that...

He said that the background check is done and sent back from the company but hasn't been put through. Something like that, and then isn't there a step to actually merit list me?

I got off the phone with my interviewer, he said there is 24 RMS clerk spots left, there was a selection yesterday and there is another one on the July 13th.   I finally have everything done, so now I'm just waiting for the paper work to get finished to merit list me and there is no reason I...

Nice, great job!! Deskjockey. I agree with wangman, knew you would get in.
