its nice to hear people are getting in. Best of luck! I started losing confidence in getting in. then BAM! I get an email from my recruiter asking me about my medical and all this. He cares how my process is going...a little boost for me.

Gorgon and rookie, when did you too have your files sent to borden? Mine was sent March 31st and I am still waiting to hear back.

 

[MikeM]

Congrats, I am doing my CFAT and PT on the 20th of May, so hopefully I‘ll be joining the ranks as well.

 

[robbie__hogger]

Congrats on getting in... It took a year eh! Way to have to patience. I am just waiting and waiting. It‘s going on four months and that‘s seeming way to long.
Good luck!
Full time is the way to go

 

[Stone]

I wish you the best of luck I have been with Infantry reserves for over four years already and it is one of the best things that I could have ever done and I am sure you will create a lot of great memories

Hey everyone. I just wanted to let you all know that I too am now a member of the elite I was sworn in this afternoon.....about 20 minutes ago to be exact It‘s a great feeling for sure knowing that I am now a part of this great military organization. To all those still waiting, keep your heads up high. You‘ll see the light at the end of the tunnel better that way. It‘s sometimes a really long wait but it is definately worth waiting for. I leave for Basic on Monday. So I‘ll be there for 10 Weeks. I‘ll try as much as I can to post on the forum whenever I can about what I am going through and experiencing. I‘ll be keeping a daily journal while I‘m there to try and stay sane. I‘ll post the results of that on a website when I‘m done and I‘ll post the link here. That way if anyone has any questions about basic, they can refer to that for some help or guidance. Hope to hear from you all soon and best of luck too all of you.

do you get sworn in before basic training or after?

 

[D-n-A]

You get sworn in before basic training.

 

[K. Ash]

Congrats, Gorgon.
Do good man!

 

[Baskin]

Do you get sworn in before basic?

 

[bossi]

Hmmm ... sounds like an echo in here ...

Yes - you get sworn in before basic.
In fact, you‘re not allowed to participate in training until you‘re sworn in (a liability issue in case you get hurt).

 

[pauly]

First off congrats to all you who got in. But theres something i dont understand. Everyone is making it seem like its impossible to get into the CF. Are you guys waiting for the regular force or the reserve? I started applying in late april for army reserve, finish my PT and medical a month ago and was told on wednesday my application was finished in Borden and is being sent to the unit i want to join....and (since the beginning of the application process)i have never gotten the impression that id be waiting a year or anything like that to get in and start basic! Can someone from this group clear this up for me? And again congrats to all you have gotten in!!

 

[commando_wolf63]

It seems like another lifetime ago when i was sworn in and completed Basic twice Once while in the reserves then again when I joined the reg‘s. To those of you who are about to enter basic remember it‘s about teamwork that gets you through those rough days ahead. You are now a part of the team good luck.
