Application Process (Completed-Officers)

[AEC@34]

Excuse me if some of you think this is a repeat thread. I find it difficult to gather info from existing "Application Process Samples" thread because
1. its combined for officers and NCM (i believe processing times are significantly different)
2. Has incomplete info or not been updated hence hard to make estimates of your processing time

I am starting this thread for officer application which are complete (please do not post if you have not received offer). Somebody can start for NCM!

Here is my info!

I did the paper application in september and was first asked to write CFAT in october but did in January because i had exams at the university. Longest wait has been for the Air Factor clearance from Toronto. I love Canadian Forces, great people. I had some initial medical issues also e.g. one ear had wax so i failed hearing test, few RBC in urine but other reports(from my family Doc) showed no concern.

See you August 31! I'm gonna be on the french platoon though. I know that french and english platoons are coupled together, but I'm curious to know if we'll have common trainings, exercices, etc. Does anyone have the answer to that question?

Here's a link to my application process sample : http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/13064/post-846218.html#msg846218

Just a comment... if this thread is for officer candidates only, why not change "Officer/NCM" for "Entry Program" (DEO, ROTP, Etc.)? Also, it could be interresting to know in which field of study is (or will be, for ROTP) the candidate's degree (administration, history, science, etc.).

Righton, I am also slated for August 31st, DEO LOG, i have already posted my process sample, but it took forever, and I mean that seriously..lol

I guess i copied from the other thread and that's what happens when you copy and paste. Thanks for pointing it out. I don't think i can edit it now.
I will be on english platoon but i am sure we will bump into each other. I bet you are training hard!

 

[AncientWinds]

I bet you are training hard!

Yes, I train very hard! I couldn't imagine my life without it. The main reason behind my hard training isn't the military though : I just enjoy working hard, set goals and then reach them.

Weight lifting 4 times a week 5 am to 7 am, and running 10 kilometers 3 times a week (most of time, 2 months before a marathon, I increase to 20 kilometers). So I'm training everyday!

I'm doing weight lifting since 4 years and running since 12 years.

What is your training like?

Cool, my GF is a nurse too!

Congrats!

 

[AEC@34]

What is your training like?

I started two months ago and Army fitness Manual is my bible for now. I am skinny (was 137lbs two months ago and now 145) but looks like one looses weight during basic training so currently i am training hard to put some muscles. This is affecting my cardio. Not too confident at this point about my fitness. Hope it will improve.

It a position. According to his nickname, he is somewhere in Vancouver City, near 23rd Avenue and Main Street.

"He" is a "She" ... I'm a girl, according to my profile I am from Vancouver and a 25 year old female. But I don't live on that street. Sometimes Google Map can be incorrect  . That position is just a general one for the city of Vancouver.

I am finding it difficult to train while working. Nursing shifts are 12 hours long (4 days or 4 nights on, 4 days off). My profession's workload is causing me to pick up overtime at least once a week due to short staffing, especially since I work at the 2nd largest hospital in Canada. Any chance I can get I am devoting it to working out, hence, alienating friends and family in the process.

I am excited to forge new friendships within the Military community especially since we all share a common interest of serving our country. See you all very soon  :camo:

Oups... I should have take a look at your profile

Things are the same here in Quebec City, an hospital is an hospital no matter where you are... I guess the work schedule in the CF as a nurse will be, most of the time, more adapted to a family and social life.

See you!

When is you BMOQ starting? Is the position offered infantry of armoured?

 

[newbrunswicker]

I was accepted for Infantry and training begins September 7th. I'm just waiting for the official call which is supposed to happen tomorrow. After waiting almost nine months I couldn't be happier.

Cheers,

KM

 

[AncientWinds]

I was accepted for Infantry

Same for me. I'm really anxious to start my new carreer! Looks like a tough but wonderful job.

After waiting almost nine months I couldn't be happier.

Yeah... I know what it is... I applied on 2008-04-03, and my BMOQ is starting on 2009-08-30. But I'm pretty sure it's worth the wait!

Good luck and good training until then!
