    Lessening the wait for the call!

    Nothing can be done to speed up the application process, Sometimes it takes months.. sometimes it takes years.. I know people who waited three years to get their call to join the reg force.. so.. Count yourself lucky you have gotten this far, and wait a bit longer.

    I thought borden only does Res BMQ? though I could be wrong.. I saw a bunch of recruits running around while I was on PAT. Just never had the time to talk to any of them.
