Ok I'm sorry I have to ask...

Is the point of this thread not to establish some sort of average in regards to the application wait times?  Or if not, just to see the differences between everyones application length?  What good is it to post half of your application process if the final and most important part (your BMQ date) is empty??

I mean me personally I waited till I got the call then just posted it completed.

Just a thought.  Thanks for reading!

Cheers, Kyle

I just posted mine because you can edit your posts as you move further along in the application process and then fill in the later details like being sworn in and when BMQ starts.

I just posted mine because you can edit your posts as you move further along in the application process and then fill in the later details like being sworn in and when BMQ starts.

Yes but people are not informed when you do that.  And therefore might not notice at all.  Anyways you're all free of course to do as you wish, just thought I would point out that about 80% of the samples in this thread are not complete.

Enjoy the thread, Kyle

Oh also, you actually can't modify your posts after 24 hours.  So you know.

 

[Grando]

I put updates of my process because:

a. people watching are interested in what's going on in the process (I have been with others anyways)
b. it keeps specific deadlines in written memory
c. people in the future applying to the same positions get an idea about timeline
d. you can't edit your posts
e. I'm going to finish mine
