You completed the PCP program through the JIBC. Can you not get in via Direct Entry?

Things went fairly smoothly today and I had a clean bill of health. Had to be interviewed for Crewman because Field Artillery is now closed. I was told I could be expecting an offer as early as next week.

I am unsure.  Heres is what I was told word for word.

Med Tech – NCMSEP is NOT closed. In fact it has 46 positions (at the time of this email). However, this does not apply to you because you do not need the schooling as you have already completed the PCP program from the JI. As such, you are now considered Semi-Skilled and qualify for a $10,000 signing bonus. Unfortunately, there are no positions for that. So, what we are trying to do is ask the Health Services Managing Authority to see if we can take an NCMSEP position to satisfy your situation.

Good luck, Rafterman. I hope that solution works.

I called a few days ago and they didn't give me any dates either, even though the dates must have been assigned since I received snail mail today. Check your snail mail and follow up with CFRC for sure....

Good luck!

Infantry ??


Congrats!!!  Good on ya !  Stil hoping I get a call soon !

Infantry, no.  I wish.  I got offered Sig Op.  I'm still stoked about it though.

Woo! Finally got the call.


Not sure of the exact dates so I put down my best estimate.

Swearing in Ceremony: August 18th
Basic Training Begins: Sept 7th!


I had to wait until April for them to re-open the trade, and then I called a time or two... or maybe three  :-X 

When all is said and done it will be about 10 and a half months from time of sending in my application to shipping off to boot camp. It's good to finally know something for sure, and now when everybody asks me if I've heard from the navy yet I have solid answer. I swear, if I had to listen to one more old person tell me they got through it all in less than a week I was gonna go crazy (and no doubt they walked to boot camp barefoot and in the snow).

On the bright side, I get 4 extra months to get in shape, so I fully expect to be a gazelle by the time September arrives.

Please don't call Basic Military Qualification 'boot camp' that is an American term, something you should know considering.
Just in case you forgot what country you were from, here's the flag
Can you guess what Country it is...I will give you a hint, starts with a "C"

Have a bad day? An American spit in your cherrios? Here's a tip... Relax.

And thanks Mariomike, I'm really looking forward to getting started. I may not have posted much, but I've been checking these forums every other day since before I applied. It has been a big help.

i just figured you would have a lil more respect for the military you are about to join by referring to training in the proper manner, stop deflecting and admit your mistake, something it appears you will have to learn from scratch when you get to basic

Got the call today. I was offered LCIS! Someone else cancelled so I got an earlier offer than what I was expecting (October). Funny thing is they didn't mention "where" BMQ will be, but said I would be "flown" there. Since Borden is only 5 hours away compared to 9 hours for St. Jean, I assume my BMQ will be in Quebec!

Two months from application to offer... not bad. They are still doing my PLAR though, but I don't know if it will benefit me at all.

Thank god I have been doing PT. I am currently at about 40 pushups, 30 situps, level 6 on 20 meter shuttle run, and a good 4km run each day. Hopefully I can up the running alot before BMQ.

Don't give up hope guys... it will happen if it's meant to be...
