Thx

Lets see here, I finished all the recruiting in August and I've been waiting ever since. If they don't start a fall course for my trade (Avionics Tech), shit will definitely hit the fan. At this point, I have no problem telling the CF to basically F*ck off, I have better things to do then wait a year to get into a joke of an Air Force.

I finished everything as of march 15, and am still waiting for an offer. I know that isnt too long of a wait, but I originally applied over a year ago. I certainly understand how Jutes is feeling, and I really NEED an offer to show up sooner rather than later, but of course its out of my hands.

I dont think I will be telling the forces to "f#@% off" though, not quite there yet.

 

[Yan]

Yeah I know how you feel to.....The worst is to wait without having any clue when you will be call

What was the reason for the holdup?  If you are tired of waiting to get into our joke of an airforce, try Air Canada.

Actually, your english is alrigh (way better than my french, say), you just spelled the word wrong, in a somewhat funny way. 

No worries though, I wasn't trying to make fun of you or anything, just making light of the situation.

I have no idea what the hold-up is. I'm qualified enough for the trade, I just don't know what is going on, and the sad thing is, they can't tell me when the course starts. You have to understand that if I wait too long, and don't make it, I can't get the college courses I want for next year. So it may turn out that I'll pay and prepare to go to college, but then they call me and tell me that I'm in. So there is over ten grand gone for nothing. Something has really got to be done to the recruiting process in these forces.

I don't know why you mentioned Air Canada, since it's not an Air Force, but as an Airline, its a disaster to the Canadian Airline Industry.

You all have to realize that the Liberals have been cutting the CF back all these years.   With fewer people to process and then train Recruits, it takes longer.   It is so bad now that Recruits and other Military Courses are being contracted out to Civilian Agencies.   Does that sound very 'Military' to you?

Perhaps, if the Conservatives win, and they increase the Canadian Forces by 20,000, then perhaps the Enrollment Process will be quicker as then perhaps there will be more people to do the processing and Training.  Until something like that happens, you'll just have to wait.

Patience Grasshoppers! ;D

Perhaps we have had enough people apply for this occupation that we can be selective about who we take in and you were not competitive enough to be selected.  Maybe we need forty recruits to start an occupational training course and we don't have that many yet.  People who are already qualified may have applied for this occupation, who would you take, someone who is already qualified or someone you have to train?  It is not always the recruiting proccess that is at fault, they are only responsible for basic training, the Airforce is responsible for running their own training. 

There are other options open to you.  If you go to college to get your diploma, we might take you on as a semi-skilled applicant in the future.  We may also pay for your college education in a program similar to ROTP only for NCMs (NCM SEP).

When I mentioned Air Canada, I did it with a certain amount of sarcasm, if you are tired of waiting for our joke of an Air Force (your future employer?), then see if someone else (Air Canada), can offer you a better deal in the Avionics field.  I doubt it.

I understand your frustration, you are not alone, but you must understand that the military will do what it feels is best for itself.  What is the nearest CFRC to you?

I asked my recruiting center about this and they had no idea what I was talking about. They said that under no curcumstances, they will train me. I know this is not true because there is a program in Canadore College in North Bay that has a partership with the Air Force.

Kelowna.

I just finished the last of the tests today, the interview and the PT.  I was told to expect a phone call from the 6th field engineer regiment within 2 weeks.  Apparently my medical isn't back, and they say that I'll still make it for BMQ in Chilliwack on June 28.
