hmmmm.
well, it would seem that to go to 120 000 in a span of 3 years would be a
quantum leap for the PRes. Assuming levels can be achieved, have we got
enough money to train, feed, clothe, equip all of these new recruits? Have we
the necessary budget to sustain such a growth? Did you hear on any proposals
for Army Reg. Force numerical strength?

Oops, I guess I didn‘t make myself clear. the 120K was for reg force...of
course this is just out of the rumour mill and we all know how reliable that
can be.

I dont know about the reg force , but the PRes is already on a huge
recruting drive. They are doing all that they can to increase numbers,from
shortening courses to giving highschool students an opertunity to get their
QL2 as part of a co-op program.
The money is in the system for the PRes, I know that every unit in my
garison got a huge increse in their operating budget and it looks like we
are in for more of that next year.
So if the Pres is doing and can aford to do it I dont see why the regs
wouldnt.

Hi Rob... I too have been in the recruitment process since Oct2000. My
prospective CO has asked me for some feedback specifically about the holdups
and delays. Have you any specific ideas or suggestions that could or could
have speed up your recruitment process? I will pass on these ideas to him. I
have one already. Howabout a checklist that every recruit gets so they know
what all the steps are. The recruit can also book medical appts in advance

Hehehe, a long time ago I was blaming the recruiters until, I was face to face
with an Sgt of the Vandoo
that told me his ways of thinking about the problem and the facts.
First time I stepped in the CFRC in 1997 and I asked about how to join, the guy
in front of me
god I have his face graved in my memory yelled at me:
HOW THE **** YA THINK!!!!! bla bla bla, I jumped at first and I replied on the
same tone.
He told me, well dont think we going to call yaw soon, that what he told me
when I handed my papers
but one week later they called me, unfortunately I was just released for a
surgery. I went for my tests
interviews, medical, apt test in a zombie mood. Because I was just released from
hospital they closed my file until
my medical situation was stable, so the officer working on my file called and
asks me to come back in September
to reopen it. I went back to the centre in nov, and I asked for the reopening of
my files, they told me no
problems jf we gonna call you soon. October, November pass no signs yet, so I
went back on Dec 97
and asked what was happening. They told me they never opened my files, the month
after I received
my confirmation that my file was reopened. Then in the months following they
lost my files
3 times, WHEN I SAY LOST it was LOST. I dealt with 7 different peoples working
on my dossier,
believe me my head spin like a bottle, that situation was like this for a short
period until everything went back
to up to the finals steps of the recruiting process.
I will not blame anyone at the centre, because they were fantastic, and dealt
with me with a professional
Attitudes all the times. But the cuts and the decrease of personnel really made
their lives complicated.
just my 0.02 cents.

I would urge you to contact the CO of the unit you wish to join. If it has
taken since mid October something is wrong. Unless you were born outside

interview on the same day. Sure it would take awhile but at least you
wouldn‘t
have to make 4 seperate trips to the recruiting centre.

Hi Rob... I too have been in the recruitment
process since
Oct2000. My prospective CO has asked me for some feedback
specifically
about the holdups and delays. Have you any specific ideas or
suggestions that could or could have speed up your recruitment
process? I
will pass on these ideas to him. I have one already. Howabout
a
checklist that every recruit gets so they know what all the steps
are.
The recruit can also book medical appts in advance for instance.
Meanwhile..."Hurry up and wait!"

Recruiting Problems
My ongoing experience with the recruiting process
may shed
some light as to why the CF is having
difficulties.
I began the process in mid-October 2000. To this
point I have still not been sworn in with the unit I have applied
to
NOTE: I am applying as PRes 26 Svc. Btn. Now I
realize
this is not just one persons fault at
either the
recruiting centre or at the Unit. It seems to be a
problem with the system, and from what I have heard from members
of
the Unit I am applying to is that a fair number
of
applicants just get tired of waiting and
move on to
other things, I guess not everyone wants it that badly.
As far as attracting new members the recruiting
booths
should look into using some of the
documentary
programs made by the Discovery Channel about CF
Operations overseas whether it be peacekeeping in Bosnia or
de-mining
activities. The earlier suggestions about
emphasizing the
"humanitarin" operations, Flooding in
Manitoba, Ice
Storm, pavement/sidewalk hunting in Toronto‘s
snowstorm sorry I‘m from Northern Ontario couldn‘t resist.
