Ya I suppose I should have closed this, I got through to them, courses are all full for the summer, the head recruiter for my unit got promoted and the two people under him took their sweet ass time taking over, or something like that.

Looks like im waiting for next year, or possibly december, when they might run a weekend BMQ in victoria. Apparently the two people that were supposed to take over recruiting havent bothered to come into work for a couple weeks, or anwser their phones. It figures, I pass all the tests and im...

Im trying to join the reserves, andl im told my unit got my file roughly two weeks ago by the CFRC, but, due to my unit losing their head recruiter, theyve been a bit slow, or something like that. I cant get anybody from recruiting on the phone, so I dont really know what the hold up is. What I...

Ya, I tried that, they told me they couldnt help me, beyond passing a message on to the recruiting people, who have not returned said message yet.

STILL waiting, when should I be getting worried? When do they cut it off and stop swearing people in for the summer courses? And does anyone know any other phone numbers for recruiting at the Scottish Regiment, phoning the advertised one has become a lost cause.

Well apparently someone from their recruiting office got a job in vancouver or something, and thats why I havent been called yet. So I left yet another message with someone at the office, and she had no idea when I will be called. :(

Do you know the number for the office Osbourne? Ya Mcfarlane, im in the same boat, was told I was pretty much a sure thing and my files been sent to the unit. Dont know what theyre waiting for but theyre certainly cutting it close.

Ya, I go to school in Vic, but I moved home with my parents for the summer, which is not in vic. Ya i remember him saying something about that awhile back now. Do they come in on certain days, or certain hours? Or is it just random?

Argh this waiting is killing me, especially since the recruiter at the scottish regiment wont phone me back. Do theyhave some rule against phoning long distance or something?

That sucks, sounds like a lot of you guys are having troubles. I think my paperwork got sent to my unit, it was hard to tell, the guy I talked to had a thick accent. I guess I should probably phone up to the Scottish Regiment too and see whats happening.

update. did my interview, my medical was sent out on apr. 7th I believe, so im waiting for my phone call.

I think the whole thing is a little complicated, and their claims of it reviving grassroots democracy are a little far-fetched, but I think the difference between the actual votes cast for any given party and how many seats that party gets is a serious problem. I think they should have gone with...

Im not sure why they wont let me do it, I think I might phone up the recruiter tomorrow and see if he can swing anything. I think if you have problems and get off track, if you dont get all your stuff done in that one day, then the process isnt as streamlined. I will phone tomorrow and find out.

Well my med files just got sent out today and I got my physical scheduled for monday, looks like the interview will have to wait until my med comes back.

haha, ya everything went fine at the doctors, my blood pressure was 120/70, so I sent in my form that the doctor signed, hopefully I can finish off my physical and interview next week.

Well I passed the CFAT, but the doctor told me i have above average blood pressure, not high, just above average. So I have to go to the doctor, get it checked out, get something signed. They wouldnt let me take the physical either. Oh well, the way I see it I get to practice more and beat you...

ahahaha, thats awesome, Ive got all mine tomorrow, hopefully it goes as well as yours did.

Please, thats like saying the justification for a crime is irrelavent, as long as your plan is strategically sound. The "twist" has everything to do with it, its the whole justification, without it, everything falls apart. And I believe US Foreign Policy first became assertive, or interested at...

I agree badpup, I was just pointing that out, and Orwell was a democratic socialist, which had a more center of left connotation in Orwell's day. Something like what the Labour Party in the UK is today I believe.

Animal Farm is a satire adaptation of Stalinism, not Marxism, or even Leninism. The differences are small, but noteworthy nonetheless.
