Hey,
This is my first post and i just read the thread "wonder why we have 114 posts" and now i am terrified this question has been asked but here it goes (i swear i used the search function and everything). I just picked up my application form with a buddy as we are both planning on joining together. I am just wondering what the chances of us doing basic training together is. Then from there what our odds of doing the rest of the training together if we picked the same MOC. Also if i do hand in my application form in tomorrow how long of a wait do have? I cannot wait to join, thanks in advance for the replies and for the kick *** forum.

Yes this question has been asked before. If you are extremely lucky there is perhaps a possibility that you and your friend will be able to enroll and train together and be posted eventually to the same Unit. Those possibles are not guaranteed, nor always possible.
You are both individuals with differing Health and Fitness levels. You are also both individuals when it come to Security Checks. One of you may be accepted to a Trade while the other may not, for one or more of numerous reasons.
As for the rest........
