ROTP 2010-2011

[Dou You]

It's been a whole week and my air factor's still not in yet, is it normal to take this long?!

Ya it also took over a month for me to receive my air factor after aircrew selection. And also after receiving the news about Pilot this year I did some deep thinking and then more deeper thinking...and then a little more thinking, and I've actually decided to go through with my ROTP application this year for ACSO. After all of the thinking I've done I'm pretty excited to go through with it now, so I guess we'll see what happens! I'm hoping for the best. Cheers everyone!

That's awesome! You're still in the game then, at least you got ACSO! They said my application isn't even competitive for ACSO, it was best if I just went Aerospace Control Officer. I hope they don't take a whole month for me, I want my interview ASAP and get on the first selection board. I need to be on every board lol!

At my interview today I was told the selection boards are 10 March.  I hope thats correct.

So does this mean we probably won't hear anything until April?  I am just getting antsy.  Had my application in since September 09.

Good Luck to ALL!!

That's what my interviewer told me.  Actually, he said if I hadn't heard anything by mid-April, give him a call.  I'm antsy too, mine has been in since October.  CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Ok, this is starting to get really confusing. I'm getting contradictory messages fom evewhere. On one side recruitment and the RMC liaison officer tell me that the board happens in early February but then I'm also being told by other people that they've been told by their CFRC that the board meets in March.

Is there anynody in recruitment that could clear it up?

I've been told the same thing... it's getting more and more confusing ... who's right ?

Is there anyone who has already been through ROTP  here ? if yes, when did you get news about it ?

 

[gwones]

Just relax everyone... We're gonna find out sooner or later. If you REALLY REALLY can't help it, then give your interviewer a call.

Is there anyone who has already been through ROTP  here ? if yes, when did you get news about it ?

Well if anyone cared to read last year's ROTP thread, it was March when people started to receive the news. BUT things are different for this year as there was no early selection plus the first selection board was postponed.

So hang in there!!!

For anyone that applied at CFRC Toronto

I remember the medical is in a different office than the CFRC, but I have no idea where I'm supposed to go. Theyre closed on the weekend and I need to be there at 0800 on Monday morning. Why didnt I find out you ask? Because the CFRC closes at 4 on Friday, and a message was left on my voicemail while I was in class (not complaining, just explaining). Anyone know where exactly I'm to go?

There are two separate offices in the same building, one is, like you've mentioned, the CFRC and the other is the medical. Go inside the building through the main entrance, walk straight until you see the CFRC then follow the hallway to the left. You will find the entrance door at the end, to your right.

OR,

Going through the back entrance may save you some time. The med office is to the left as you walk inside the building. You can't miss it

 

[SocialyDistorted]

Thanks gwones, I'm pretty sure I know what you're talking about 

 

[SocialyDistorted]

Got an e-mail saying I've been rejected Interview and Med are cancelled. Bloody grade 11 marks... best of luck to everyone else!

 

[TFLY]

SociallyDistorted...Don't give up, there is something you will be happy with in the CF.  My marks from high school are a threat to me as well.  Finished the interview and Medical, but still have not heard.  Waiting for the review board.  However, if I am rejected I will choose another trade.  I have been studying all the trades available to me.  I just know this is something I want to do, one way or another.

Can't believe they told you via email though, wow.

 

[X2012]

Hey, is anybody else going on aircrew selection in the next couple of weeks? I just got a call about it last week and I'm super excited!

 

[calamityjoe]

I'm supposed to pass by a MP comitee before I can attend to Kingston college...still got no news...

Shoul'd I cry out loud?  ;D

As an Intel Officer aspirant...Do I have to pass some tests first?

I guess I'll drink a lot of lemonade in the next months!  :nod:

Thats happy that you have been invited to the aircrew selection, congratulations X2012. It is a step on the good way. Give us some news about it, If I'm outta luck, I'll drink a bews at your succes ...

More than a little bit ouch to say the least, but I did apply late and it was very rushed, so at least now I have time to train and get back into shape school and fitness wise for next year. That and I can actually apply for pilot next year too, as i didnt get to go to ACS since my interview and medical were supposed to be tommorow. I think another year of high school would be good...it would let me do Chem and Physics as I didn't take them this year. All I know is I WANT this, heh.

 

[Dou You]

Just did a 15 minute update interview for ACSO over the phone and she said my score went up yet again. I'm hoping it's enough this time! She said I should hear by the end of March. Just the final stretch of waiting now...

 

[terminator50]

A quick update with me, I had to get an appointment with my cardiologist to get info on a procedure I got done.... If you guys ever had to deal with specialists you would know that it takes a hell of a long time to get an appointment with them. So I got it in last week, and phoned today, and surprisingly the medical staff in Ottawa only received it today!! I was surprised that the CF used regular mail for this type of thing. The officer on the phone says now that I'm cutting it close, he can't be certain if I can make the selection board. But I know the cardiologists report says I have no limitations and is good to go. So it should be a quick response hopefully from Ottawa. After that I still got the interview.....sadly I wanted to avoid this scenario, but my application process has gone through lots of bumps prior and has always pulled through, so I have confidence that I will make the deadline.

 

[TFLY]

Good Luck Terminator50...

This waiting is hard.  I'm a little worried that I have not heard back yet about my medical.  I did have to get two forms filled out by my Dr. about headaches and a back issue.  I'm hoping I hear something this week. 

I am somewhat tempted to look into another trade at this point. Eager to get started on my career, I do have some qualifications that I was told may grant me "years of service" from the get go.  The thought of starting my career now as apposed to 4 years from now is very appealing to me.  Anyone else in this boat?

 

[macknightcr]

That is really cutting it close since the selection board has already began to sit, but TFLY I know what you mean but I am looking at it as my pention starts as soon as I enroll so it will be like my career is starting right away. 

This waiting is killing me, I can't wait for this to happen.
