Interesting feedback. What I am really waiting for is my 5F waiver to be reviewed at CFRGHQ. Its only been with them for 8 months or so. CDN Aviator, answer me this. In all honesty, do you think that the CDS himself will review my file? The MCC is as frustrated as I am and has been...

The CO agrees that it was a unit mistake and that I should have been released 4A. I understand that CFRGHQ is very busy and I am not looking to expedite the process. All that it should be looked after in a timely manner. The Career Officer who is looking after my file says that I am the 3rd 5F...

It hasn't even gotten that far yet. It's stuck at CFRGHQ at Borden. According to the MCC at the recruiting centre, 5F waivers are on the lowest priority. Why can't they get there shit together and get someone on the 5F waivers and review these files. I know they are extremely busy, but come on...

Once again this topic shows it's very ugly head. I can't say enough good things about CFRC in processing my application. They are consumate professionals who handle things as much as they can. Can someone answer me this question? Why has it taken CFRGHQ since November of 2011 to review and...

Thought I would weigh in on this one. I am going through something very similar right now. I was released on a 5F from the PRES, which I didn't know about until my VFS came back. I followed all the steps when releasing. I went through the chain of command, told my RSM at the time that I couldn't...

Dear Gunners, This is a quick reminder for all those interested. On Saturday March 31, 2012; The 7 Toronto Regiment, RCA will be celebrating it's 70th Birthday. Many Gunners have lost contact and an opportunity to spend one last fire mission with your old gun detachment, CP crew or FOO Party...

Gear Gunners, On Saturday March 31, 2012; The 7 Toronto Regiment, RCA will be celebrating it's 70th Birthday. Many Gunners have lost contact and an opportunity to spend one last fire mission with your old gun detachment, CP crew or FOO Party would be fitting, especially with the importance of...

Straight from the horses mouth. The reversal of, or waiver for a 5F, MUST, be signed off by the CDS. It could be done in the past by a lower authority, i.e. Brigade Level. No longer. The MCC who is handling my file, said it could be several months, or as he called it, at glacial speed. I am...

I was boarded by three officers, and was given a position. Having served before as a Sgt, the unit has offered me a position and are holding it based on my final 2 items at the recruiting centre being the medical and final interview.

It's for the reserves.

I have been told that it will all be handled through the RC. Had my initial interview with the unit and I am currently jumping hoops at the RC.

I have an interview later this month and would like to know what type of questions the MCC might throw my way.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get a 5F reversed? I am inthe the process of reapplying and I was mistakenly released 5F and my old unit confirmed that it truly was a mistake. I am getting 2 stories from CFRC. The first one is that only the CDS can do so and it is a long and complex...

The Recruiting Centre got my file back from Ottawa in seven weeks. Pretty good time I guess. I spoke with another officer and he said i did have a 5F on my file, but because the unit has written a letter saying it was a mistake on their part they are holding a position for me. Because it is a...

Update, The ombudsman got back in a matter of days. They were very helpful as I explained by dilemma. The fact that my former unit is supporting my enrolment once again is very encouraging.  The ombudsman stays its great news that the support level is very high on my end, which should result in...

If a person had a diagnosis of a condition and it was later discovered as a misdiagnosis and consequently reversed, does the applicant have to disclose this in the enrolment medical?

I understand that it is on an individual unit basis, but you have too admit that the issue is well known and that the cavalier attitude towards releases done incorrectly, does exist. It seems that the process is always harder for those who have served, to go through the system again to become...

My issue is that it was never about kit. It was about the process and how it broke down. When you follow the chain of command and report directly to the BSM/CSM/SSM that your are unable to parade and want to get out, you expect results. It seems that there is a bigger problem of consistency. The...

Just a quick update. It looks like the ball was dropped a few times with my release. The DCO and Chief Clerk are working with the CO of the regiment to get this resolved. The thing that really scares me is that there is such a poor job being done when reservists are released. It's ironic that...

I actually have an inquiry into the ombudsman. It will be interesting to see how fast things are going to get done. As it stands CFRC requested a copy of my pers file, which should take about 2 months to get to CFRC. I wonder how many people the request will go through?
