now to start off I do not want to come off like I am better than anyone else who has either been accepted or is going to be applying to the CAF.
However I would like to get some what of a consensus of what the current age and educational background is of the new recruits or possible new recruits.
I am 27 years of age who has completed both OAC and OSSD, I have 5 years of University with credits ranging from Philosophy to Anthropology, Sociology, and Psychology, Physics, and Computer Programming. As well as 2 years of a college program in Security and Risk Management.
Now I have yet to complete a degree or diploma in either but it would be less then a year for both.... reasons being that I am married and money gets tight at certain points in the year.
My work Experience consists of both office work and customer service. As well I had spent a year at a manufacturing plant where I taught my self how to TIG weld with no previous experience to gain a higher position in the company. I also well over a year of Security work experience where I have received nothing but praise by the the store managers and the mall management.
I have passed all testing, There was an issue with a credit problem that has since been taken care of in sept of 2005. When I have talked with the recruiting in Oshawa, they stated that the I was some what competitive in the fields of Infantry, Weapons Tech, and Combat Engineer. I was told the selection board only meets once every 6 weeks which at that point the next selction board would have been Oct 17, 2005. As well the last training session was to be Oct. 31 of 2005. From what I have been reading is that people have been selected to go for Nov 7.2005 to Feb 3.2006, and most were merit listed Oct 5, 2005. ( this is for infantry).
I was merit listed before Oct 5, 2005. I am jsut wondering if I have to wait for a selection board due to me maybe being offered one of the occupations other than Infantry.
