Hang tight , sorry to hear. Wasn't an easy choice Im sure.

Could have retaken the CFAT dis-morning

WTF ??

Good things happen for those who wait.

 

[Alea]

Could have retaken the CFAT dis-morning but I slept in

What?
So are you saying that you skipped redoing the CFAT in part because you slept in?????

I'm sorry but I really have a hard time understanding you! Some people (ME FOR EXAMPLE) have been waiting to redo CFAT. I'll take your place with great pleasure. Thanks!

Which type of job do you think you're applying for? Club Med?

Oh... and when you get to BMQ and don't want to get up along with everyone else because you want to "sleep in"... I hope I'll be there to kick your little butt!... and trust me, I will!

I just don't understand the word "dis-morning"...........

Is that gangsta inglish or something......

No, he probably still had caca in his eyes from sleeping in so he could not see the key board!

[McD]

I got the ok to re-take the test and MCpl had a look over my GED or HS Diploma and things looked good.   

You forget if you have a GED or HS Diploma? REALLY? REALLY!  Maybe its me but that doesn't sound like thing could look good.

Hoping that I can score high enough and be given a chance at BMQ and prove I can do this!

Don't worry you covered that and shown apt ability.

 

[Neolithium]

I'm still kind of in shock that someone slept in on the day they were due to rewrite their CFAT.  I've come across quite a few recruits at the local CFRC and every one of them were more than happy to show up around 30 minutes earlier than their scheduled time.  Setting a new time due to getting more studying in is one thing, but sleeping in and then rescheduling after the fact....just makes me shake my head.

Yes!
Too bad he lives so far from me! I would go wake him up every morning... and it would not be a coffee/croissant/honey/sun shine type of morning!

It's all about patience my friend

 

[Robbie4296]

I totally agree, hurry up and wait, I just get into reading all these posts and reading about guys doing CFAT , etc before the background checks, and then by the time they are done all the medical, pt etc the background check comes in and they are ready to go, my background check has been going on for a while now, and some guys Ive Pm'd about Reserves here in Edmonton didnt have there applications in for more then a week or so and there medicals etc are happening this month, and allready did cfat.

Cant rush the process, it cant be rushed, and patience and time is what I have.

Good attitude!
Keep on checking in with the RC every couple to few weeks, even go into RC and see about your file. I hope everything works out for you. Good luck to you Robbie!

 

[Robbie4296]

Thanks Johnson101, yep will check the RC in a few weeks, they are 3 blocks from my house!, thanks for the luck.

Finally   Was going to join when I was 19, but dicked around and was not motivated enough to finish school (dropped out in grade 10). Got a job and 'settled' for the boring life.  Finally kicked my ass into joining again early 2008, but the day I was going to pick up my application for my GED, I found out my girlfriend and I were going to be parents! So I held off another year to help as much as I could, and in 2010 I completed my GED, and the next day met with the recruiter.  Can't wait!

 

[McD]

Congrats !  Good on ya! I hope it runs smooth for ya, truly.

Overall, it has been a  very smooth process. I was told that an Aug/Sept BOTP would not likely happen due to the timing. I should expect a Jan, 2011 BOTP if everything else falls into place.
