Hey! Congratulations bro.

I was merit listed on May 6th for Armoured  :blotto: but it's kind of weird....my references haven't been contacted  ???

Were you ever merit listed? Or ever told that you were?

Almost exactly 2 months from start to finish. I wasn't expecting the call at all, so I was a little surprised. I was told during my interview that I wouldn't be given a position until I had my final letter of acceptance from my school and I won't get that till about the end of this month or possibly next month - I have to write my ACP this weekend and wait for the results from that. So...a little surprising, but I'm super excited!

Im a bit confused here.  Please correct myself if I am wrong.  Im from BC, maybe it is different for you but I had to finish the PCP (EMT) course then apply to licensing (EMALB), for you it is Alberta College of Paramedics (ACP).    Your not done the course (EMT) according to your post.  The ACP allows someone to schedule a test without being complete the EMT course?

Congrats !! It's good to hear that a Combat Arms position was offered ! I may have missed any other posters saying they got one. But it was looking like things were calming down in this thread. Then again that may be the norm for the begining of a month I have no idea.  Good on ya !!!

 

[The_Unabooboo]

  My process took an odd turn when all my first choices filled up just as I was put on the merit list.  So I changed up too some of the others I liked and got an offer by the end of the week.

[TheNoob]

Got a call from my recruiting center and she said my application is all good and now she told me that all my choices (Crewman, Artillery and Infantry) are still closed and Infantry will be closed until April 2011. She said Crewman and Artillery may open in 3 or 4 months. So the waiting continues  :blotto:

Hey! Congratulations bro.

I was merit listed on May 6th for Armoured  :blotto: but it's kind of weird....my references haven't been contacted  ???

Were you ever merit listed? Or ever told that you were?

No I wasn't. I wasn't told till the interview that my references had been contacted in advance, no word on merit listing or medical approval. I just got the job offer.
