I handed in my application in January of 06, got an interview in march...got sick....got another interview in april....pass cfat and medical except needed documentation from doctors about a previous nervous breakdown (not related) and from an eye Dr. for my vision. I passed as far as mental and physical health goes (with flying colors) but the vision specialist screwed up and put me as a V4 (worst possible vision rating accepted by the CF) so i had to redo that and passed with a V1 (best possible rating). After that I had to get my fingerprints done at the local police station for my reliability check (presecurity clearance) which I ran into problems with, due to some minor offences under the Young Offenders Act. Months later they called me and told me they could let me in if i proved i was reliable, so i sent in papers from my probation officer, court papers detailing the minor offences, and a personal letter explaining what I've learned. In Jan of 07, I got another interview (the first one expired after 6 months), which lasted 5 minutes, and now...30 minutes ago, on Feb 21, 2007, I finally got the call, and am being sworn in tonight at 7:20 ;D.....A whole year and a month!!!
