While I don't work in recruiting, I would guesstimate that a Depot start date in 2008 is well within the limits of possibility. Especially since you have already started the process.
As you are now awaiting an interview, you are now an applicant, I would recommend that you go on at least one ride-a-long. I would suggest going on a weekend night shift and a mid week day shift. That should provide for an all round perspective of GD work.
Too arrange a ride-a-long (if you don't know any local members) call the local Detachment and ask to speak to the Training NCO. Explain that you are an applicant and ask for a ride-a-long. He should be able to sort you out. If he can't for some reason then you may want to call you file coordinator at HQ and see if they can arrange something.
Good Luck

P.S. If you are a PRes member do not quit your Regiment. Request ED&T or go SRR, you may find you miss the MO!
