Nice, at least you have a scheduled date! My background checks are currently in the works, but I know my credit check was done 11/27 so I am hoping they're done soon, and I hear something before the CFRC is closed for the holidays.

Good luck with the rest of your process!

[Poacher434]

I've seen notive ranging from a few months to a few days.
Depends on positions available to the regiment or unit and positions offered. There is also the variable of names being withdrawn from course and new names submitted.
Not to mention the dreaded course cancellation.

 

[sarahsmom]

I had 10 days from swearing in to BMQ.
I want to say I had 3 weeks from my offer phone call until BMQ, but i honestly don't remember.
This was for Reg F.
PRes will likely be very different.
