sorry to hear that gray 

 

[ftsmith]

Recruiting Center: CFRC Vancouver
Regular Force
Trade Choice: RMS Clerk

Application Date: January 1, 2009
First Contact: Febuary 1, 2009
CFAT completed: March 11, 2009 (Officer Qualified) 
References (3) called: March 14, 2009

Interview: March 17, 2009 (I am the "competition to beat.")

Medical:  April 08, 2009 (2 Forms filled out)
            Vision was V2 so went to optomologist and had a form filled out - faxed in.
            Psychiatric Form filled out - faxed in.

Listed: TBD
Position Offered: TBD
Sworn in: TBD
BMQ starts on: N/A

As no phone call(s) yet concerning the 2 forms I faxed in yesterday, I am assuming my medical is on the way to Borden or where ever for review.  I hope I am just in the waiting stage now.  I'm a patient guy but still feel sick thinking they won't take me.  I don't know why...I'm usually the optimist.  I've yet to tell anyone but my family that I've enlisted and if I am accepted, this will be quite the news around my circle.
I am hesitating to ask how long 'til I know? If yes, when could I be in BMQ? ...so I won't...
Good luck to all.

Thanks Rohan, I appreciate the information. From what I've read on this site the next NOAB course will be around the end of May (25-29) in Victoria? That doesn't give me a whole lot of time although, from what I've read about the CFRC Calgary they are an efficient group. Hopefully I'll hear from them soon and knock on wood I pass the CFAT, Medical, and Interview without any major delays. It's going to be tight I think.

See you in Victoria,

Jeff

Hoping to hear from the CFRC within the next month or so, and get the ball rolling. I am kinda hoping to take the summer to work on my fitness and do my fitness test mid to late summer (give me a couple of months to lose the flab I've gained) and do BMOQ late 2009/early 2010. Then again, that's the plan. The reality could be much different

I contacted the Cpl. in charge of my file, and confirmed that I should here from them in about two months (June) with an offer.  But it seems some people have already been given offers for the August BMOQ!  Why?  Ah, well. 
  Based on my test score and interview, I'm confident that I'll make it in and as infantry. (The Capt. who interviewed me pretty much said that it was certain.) My only concern is that I get in for the August BMOQ. 
  If anyone who reads this and has some advice (or questions), feel free to contact me.
