If you're doing your FORCE test prior to getting an offer to join the CAF I'm assuming you're applying to the Reserves. As such you should ask your unit what their timelines are as Reserve Units are in charge of their own recruiting. Some with the Foreign Implication, some units wait for it to...

A bit of this thread has gotten off track (which provided good laughs); but no one answered this for you. Percentiles are based on the number of people who've taken the test. So the percentiles today may not be the percentiles in 10 years from now. Luckily when I switched from NCM to Officer...

I don't work in recruiting anymore; but I would say be patient. The CAF as a whole takes a great deal of our leave during June-August. There are also campaigns that run as specific times of the year; so they're also trying to ensure that everyone for paid education starting in September is...

Glad it was all sorted out for you finally! Best of luck in your career moving forward. I now have 25 years of service, have 1 grievance that I filed back in 2013 (that I won); just remember how you were treated during this; don't become grizzled by it, just remember to provide better support...

Caveat: I'm more involved with Health Services training; however have a couple Logistic Officer that fall under my umbrella; so with that said logistic officer training is long before you reach your occupational function point. You have to do BMOQ (Basic Training), BMOQ(L) also called BMOQ(A)...

A Kinesiology degree is very specific. I'd have to double check the Entry Standards but from my memory the only occupation that is a direct match to a Kinesiology degree is Bioscience Officer; but unless you're applying for an occupation that will take "any degree" (and there are those...

For Purple Trades (such as MP) - no matter what element you're assigned to (Navy, Air Force or Army) you can potentially serve in a posting of a different element. So as a Navy MP you can be assigned to an Army or Air Force base, just as much as an Army MP you could be posted to either coast...

Please speak with your recruiting staff about your timelines. The MCC/PSO at your local recruiting centre will be responsible for your file; as such you should speak with them directly.

Yes your CFAT can affect future career moves in the CAF (i.e changing occupations or commissioning from the ranks). There's a specific policy outlining this; you get 3 attempts in total (that's not 3 to get in and more later in life, 3 in total in your lifetime). So if you use 3 attempts to...

Depending on if training has changed you may get a PLAR for some of your previous training. Most PRes Army PLAR's are seen by CTC so it'll up to them. Really if your recruiter wants to do a PLAR to see if some of your training could be granted, go for it. Also, as you didn't reach OFP they...

The Army Reserves does do weekend Basic Training (for NCM occupations). When it comes to meeting the Occupational Function Point of an occupation (trade training) it's dependent on the occupation. I cannot think of any occupation within the Naval Reserves or the Medical Branch that would allow...

The policy that deals with Waiver does give the ability for retests beyond the 2nd Level Retest (or 3rd attempt); however it starts off with "only in exceptional circumstances will a fourth administration of the CFAT be considered". Really you shouldn't think "oh I have 3 attempts at this"...

Only if it's unwanted :cool:

The process takes however long it takes. Every file is different for the amount of time it takes. I've seen files get processed in under 2 months and I know of files that are several years in the making - 6 months is the "average" - so that fact that your friend got in under that time, it...

Policies change sometimes; but normally there's some conditions on changing occupations: 1) You have to be trade qualified; 2) You have to be going to a trade that is "open" (i.e. has spots); 3) You can't be in a trade that is locked in. These were the rules on both times that I've changed...

There's a specific policy outlining this; but my memory, like Andraste, is that you get 3 attempts in total (that's not 3 to get in and more later in life, 3 in total in your lifetime). So if you use 3 attempts to get in, and then down the line you want to transfer occupations you best hope...

Lots of great information here, just jumping in to "fix" one piece of information. MOTP is for Civilian Applicants & Primary Reserve members to apply MMTP is only for Regular Force member's and only available to those who reached the Operational Function Point + 1 year of service (and of...

The PLAR process can determine any of the following things: higher starting rank higher starting pay incentive qualifications granted (ie a non military course could grant a military course being granted) partial qualifications granted (all military courses are broken in smaller sections, while...

As an aside allista, I've noted that you posted this exact same post twice on the board - in the future please do not make multiple posts that are the exact same.

allista, Let me explain the "PCL" - it's essentially a cut off line - so although your CFAT by itself may've qualified you for Infantry (and it very may have if you qualified for other tech type trades) but the PCL moves higher or lower based on the number of positions available and the number...
