Just applied.

hey how you guys doing? Just a while ago i sent my application online. I have printed signature pages, clearence form, and references form and i have filled them up and gonna drop them off at the recruiting centre tomorrow first thing in the morning. For some reason, the online application process did not save all my employers' names but only one. when i printed a hard copy i saw it only showed one of my employers.. hope that wont be a problem. i'll mention that the recruiter. I am 21, applied for regular force with first choice being infantry, armoured soldier, and military police.

Congrats on taking the first step.

Are you aware that both Armoured and Infantry are closed for the remainder of the fiscal year?

If you were set on one of these positions more-so than MP perhaps you may wish to research other positions? Unless you are willing to wait until March/April when the new recruiting numbers are released.

 

[arwin]

thank you.
i didn't armoured was closed as well...anyway its all good...i am not sure if i'll even be able to get in before march/april because i wasn't born here and on this site i have read threads about people being waiting for 6 months to 2 year years.... waiting doesn't bother me though because everything has a procedure and steps that must be followed..

An excellent attitude to have if I do say so.

I agree, if you are willing to wait then that is great . Perseverance pays off

Hey man, good luck on getting in!  I'v been waiting 8 months so far and will be waiting until april at the earliest!  I applied for DEO Infantry.  All I have to say is, once I get that phone call I will be the happiest man alive!

 

[arwin]

thanks..... well i look on the bright side, if i really end up waiting for that long, i'll be out of college (graduated) in the mean while. but if i get my bmq date in like 3 months, i'll start preparing right away.

After being sooo close to leave for my basic training back in August my file was released due to an injury that occurred 2 weeks before I was due to leave. I was told I wouldn't be able to reapply until December at the earliest as it takes 4-6 months before your able to re-apply because of all the paper work and stuff.  I called to start up my file again last week, with Infantry being closed until April I will have to wait until then to start my application again, so I have a nice while to up my fitness the best I can.
It took me almost a full year applying last year, hopefully now the second time around will be a lot smoother process and should be pretty quick this time. Anyways wish me luck and I will try not to break anymore bones!
