Hey brocku00, As for time lines, you might want to check out The Recruiting Process Section and take a look at the thread titled "Application Process Samples".  The last 10-15 pages are the most recent and outlines how long the process took for various applicants.  Obviously each case is...

I don't get why you're getting upset, acooper gave you some very good advice. Nobody here knows what your recruiter might say.  One person's experience will likely very greatly with another.  It would surely be disappointing if you took someone's experience on the forum, handed in your...

Getting excited!!!  Enrollment on Friday.  I can't believe it's here already, seems like just yesterday we still had 4 months to go!

From how it's looking right now, infantry will be closed until at least 2011. If a trade is closed they will not process your application. My advice, read through the MANY threads around here on the topic, study for your CFAT, get in shape and be prepared to stick it out for the long haul.

Way to stick it out, and good luck!!

Is there a specific reason you want indoor soccer shoes?  I would think a regular pair of running shoes would be fine, that's what I plan to bring anyway.

I know someone who VR'd during basic, waited like 8 months, re-applied and got back in no problem.  You'll be fine  :) Good luck!

The material between the toes definitely takes a little while to get used to (for me anyway) but you get used to it pretty quickly.  This coming from a girl who gets freaked out by toe socks, they're just weird  :D I don't walk in them as much as I should, but my feet are definitely stronger. ...

I would take the time that you have to wait to continue to study for the CFAT and your interview so that when your trade of choice does open you can nail both components and get what you want. And really, when they ask why you picked the trade you did and you say 'because it was in demand and I...

I didn't get an official paper letter.  I did however get an email with all the dates and times of my enrollment and training along with the joining instructions.

Oh definitely extra income is extra income ... I've never rented to people, those suggestions were just things that popped into my head when i thought about it.  Hey if you're up for it, then go for it!!

I think buying really depends on location and your personal situation.  You'd have to take a lot into consideration: - If you are buying in an area with lots of inventory and low demand, and all of a sudden had to sell due to being posted elsewhere or anything like that, how likely are you to be...

I went in a couple times actually before I handed in my application package.  Mind you getting to my local CFRC was not as long of a commute as it sounds like it is for you.  I'd make sure you take some time and write down every possible question you think you would want to ask and take that...

Congrats to you Luke!

Hey Peterson, First off, have you been given a date that you will write your CFAT?  My advice would be to get down to your local library and spend a few hours looking at some GED study books.  When I started reviewing I was really worried, but I surprised myself with how much came back to me...

That's great news, congratulations!! Enjoy your summer!

I would assume it would probably vary from case to case depending on how busy they are, etc., etc., but what I would do if I was in your situation would be to call or stop by your RC and just ask to check up on your file.  You never know, your query could have come back and for whatever reason...

It could be tomorrow or it could be 2011. Its pretty much a guessing game. I'd contact your recruiter as they would be the only ones to know for sure if it was open/closed.

Hi Daws, A friend of mine took several math courses through the adult education center here where I live and they ended up costing next to nothing.  I think she had to put down a deposit for the text book (which she got back) and had something like 6 months to complete the course and write the...

They're great for building up foot strength, but be careful, you really have to work up to wearing them to jog/run.  If you go out too quickly you could really stress out/hurt your feet.  My suggestion would be to start with slow short walks (on grass or something similar to start) and wear them...
