I am very satisfied with the speed at which the recruiting centre in North Bay is processing my application. I filled in the application in early January, Had my medical, interview and erc done in February. If I wasn't such an unfit couch potato and didn't have university classes then I could have been done the process in the first three weeks in January. Any delays in the process were my doing. I could have my medical done the third week in January (at the speed they were going), but the med tech only came in on Thursdays and I had classes from 8:30 a.m to 6:30 pm. I got my medical done during my reading week in fact. I did my fitness test and failed. I thought I had least met the minimum, but my VO2 wasn't good enough. The person testing me advised me that I come back when I can easily pass the tests because basic would be rough. (he had done many, many tests and was very knowledgeable.) That was the last week in April. I have improved, but I don't think I'll be ready until July, too late for this summer's training. On top of this I had trouble with my second semester studies and this slowed the process down, because it's school first, reserves second. When (hopefully) in the fall, I resume the process, I'll get my fitness done and get sworn in.

Futuretrooper said:Well I'm merit listed and awaiting the call, got a call today and I have to do another visaul acuity test to be filled out by my optomotrist. I'm stressed because my last vision test I was a V3, and I don't want to lose my chance to get into the infantry.
