Interesting that the 31st is overbooked... I was booked for an August 14th enrolment at the Ottawa recruitment centre but recently received an email asking if I could switch it to July 31st because "everyone is either on course or on vacation." Ie. no-one will be there.  I said "sure, what the...

Yes.  I was still editing a second time as you posted. 

Less than two months to go until BMOQ starts.  I am sitting at my kitchen table in my pad in Okazaki, Japan.  It's the end of the rainy season and the beginning of the real summer.  The humidity is at 80% and the heat is just coming down from 32C.  I have been out on my bike doing some shopping...

And I guess this thread is done for now. I got my offer this morning, so it's off to camp on Aug. 29th. Would still like to know how the process works internally though  ;D Sean

I have spent a lot of hours perusing the mountain of information on this board, and to be honest it's mining diamonds in the rough.  There are huge amounts of repetitious mails followed by nuggets of info so I was getting a bit frustrated.  I wasn't aware that "real time selection" was an...

Hello all, After a two year fumbling process (during which old forms were replaced with new ones and other bureaucratic shenanigans) I have managed to finish up the selection process and as of April 13, 2007 have been merit listed for my choices of Armour Office and Infantry Officer.  Huzzah...
