    medical, injury

    You can expect to speak with the CFRC/D medical staff, and be required to bring additional medical info from your doctor on the condition, and the details of the recovery. Talk to the person handling your file, let them know that you won't be able to take your physical fitness test for 3-4...

    Setbacks and waiting

    Difficult to say how long you will be wait listed.  It depends how many files are being considered, and how well you were rated, and when the next series of officer courses are being opened for loading.  Typically, the fall courses are filled by now, and the next series of courses would be...

    Best time to join the reserves

    Use the citizenship card.  Its hard to fit the large certificate in the photocopier, and the CFRC will need a copy for your file.

    Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) [MERGED]

    The more that jcph90 writes, the less I understand.  I'm looking forward to seeing what he has to say after he contacts the Det.

    Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) [MERGED]

    As far as I know, the standard is to tell applicants their results at the conclusion of the test.  However, how this is done does vary from one CFRC/D to another.  Yes, something fishy may be here, however, my experience has been that there has been a communications lapse between the CFRC/D...

    Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) [MERGED]

    Actually - it takes longer to tell someone they failed the test than it does to tell the person they qualified for their occupation choices.  Check with the CFRC to find out what happens next, and when.

    Major pay problem

    The earlier responses provide you with the right info.  At one time to get into ROTP the applicant had to give up the right for pay.  The arguments pro and con went on for years, but the end result was the decision that a person in the Reserves was after all in the CF, and so had a form of...

    And the waiting game begins!!!!!

    Y A bit longer than Cdn Avaitors reply, but the answer is the same. Your call depends on the CFRC, their workload, and how you did on the various checks.  Did the CFRC do the Reliability Check before the other parts of the process, or are they just now putting the information to the system...

    Is there help before I'm "aged out"?

    I agree.  However, for the Reg F, the maximum age is  determined by the VIE length, so CRA 60-VIE=max enrl age.  Although there are complications that can increase the length of time to get through Recruiting, and the complications tend to increase as we get older (more health problems that...

    Is there help before I'm "aged out"?

    The retest policy was changed some time ago, so you can rewrite much sooner than a year - some CFRCs are allowing rewrites within a week.  However, the most recent test result is the one that will be used, even if it is lower than the original test result.  And the process to get a second...

    Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) [MERGED]

    Last I heard, this part of the CFAT was experimental.  The test will be used for a time, the Personnel Selection researchers will then study the results, and see if this test is a useful predictor for military employment.  If it is useful, it could be used to replace the current test, or to...

    basic officer training camp

    The CFLRS website still lists the two courses as IAP and BOTP, as of Feb 2008.  The link is http://www.cflrs.forces.gc.ca/site/a_propos_elrfc/ecole_e.asp

    Going back to visit the old cadet unit as a Reg NCM, things to say?

    Most times the local CFRC/Det have promotional items they will share if you ask.  Try the Kingston Det, or if your hometown is close to another CFRC/Det, talk to them.  There was a  hiccup in getting new promo items this summer, but there may be something from previous campaigns (a lot of...

    Was I the youngest instructor ever in the Armed Forces?

    About 4 to 5 years ago, the rules were changed, (or were enforced), so that CIC officers were only employed with Cadets or activities related to Cadets.  edit - spelling

    My story

    Often the Recruiters will get all the info they can on an initial contact, so that when the decisions are made as to who to bring in and when, then the info is available so that if additional steps need to be taken, those steps can be taken at that time.  From what you've posted on your age...

    Highest Ranking Female

    The test standards are different, since the test is a predictor to do common military tasks.  From what I've read, women accomplish these tasks differently than their male counterpart, which means the two test standards indicate the ability to perform the actual tasks at the same level. The...

    Forces struggling to recruit...

    Believe me - the CF has to follow national legislation, government regulations and has set up a number of CF regulations that the recruiters have to follow.  Many of these are not set by the recruiters, but by the various organizations within the CF. There are a lot of issues with increasing...

    Need moral support and explanation

    As CFR FCS noted in his reply, there are very limited openings for Int O (O RENS), and these have been filled for this year, so your likelyhood of being considered for Int O is very low.  However, if that remains one of your choices, then you will be considered for any opening that may come up. ...
