Correction - never visited the Reserves unit. I called the unit, spoke to MCpl on the phone, and then he told me he'd meet me at CAFRC office on Yonge St. So, I met him there 3 times (handed over all my documents, signed application) in my 3rd visit. He told me next step is to interview with CO...

Hi - I actually submitted my application for Signals Officer at 32 Signals Regiment few days ago and handed over all my documents as well. Recruiter (MCpl) told me to not worry about letter - he said, he'd write one or get one. He is authorized to recruit for this position already. I am told...
