Should have seen it back in the "old" non-electronic age. I went from application hand-in, to CFAT, to interview (& medical same day as interview at Stadacona), to swearing in, to arriving at CFRS Cornwallis to begin my basic trg ... 11 days after I applied.

I'm convinced the electronic age has made things much more effecient these days, but it's still yet to be proven.  :-X
