Afternoon,
I'm 22 years old and my career goal is to be in the Canadian Forces but right now, I'd like to have a little taste of what I'm going to be put through.
I applied to a Reserve Infantry Unit near my home city roughly two years ago, and still haven't gotten a call.
I'm debating wither I should keep up with the hopes that I get a call for the next BMQ (In September) or just put in my application for Regular force.
I've called the recruitment office a number of times asking specific questions but I'm getting a couple mixed answers. The one recruiter told me it takes upwards of 6 months for them to decide to accept your or not. And another recruiter told me he has friends who have been waiting for 3 years for their call.
On to my question..
Is it possible for me to leave my reserve application open and apply for regular force, knowing that I'll probably get a call a lot sooner for the reserves position than the regular position? I'd like to serve in any way I can, so I'm hoping that I get into the reserve unit, and put in my time there until I get a call for a regular force opportunity.
Hopefully this makes enough sense that someone can answer me.
