Don't you need to do an occupational transfer for clearance diver or did they change that so you can do direct entry now?

I was alerted about that later after the CFAT, so I am no longer doing that.

It's a new process.  Nowadays, after you apply online, your local CFRC will tell you on your first visit, whether or not you qualify for your occpation choices.

Hm, I'm rather curious whether it's possible to have Infantry as priority over Weapons Tech. later on.
I planned to call the recruitment station tomorrow for further information, can anyone hand over a tip?

As a reserve applicant you need to get a letter of recomendation from the unit(s) you want to join. So if you infantry as a priority put it down as your number 1, and get the letter from the unit and only from the unit. If what your asking is to switch trades a few years down the road there is no bearing of this listing now. If you become a wpns tech and decide to ask for an occupational transfer it will be a separate process down the line.
 
Hey everyone!

I was in BMQ back in 2011 but had to leave at week 8 for family related issues. I'm back in the process now, and it sure seems to be going quickly! Timeline in my sig. Good luck to everyone out there; remember, be patient and keep living your regular life until you get that call :)

Ahh alrighty, thank you for your help. I'll make sure to ask the unit I originally signed up for for that letter.

Well initially the unit will conduct a mini interview before they sign off on a letter.
