See you there Hoogoos!

 

[astecki]

My wife just got word, her medical has been approved by Ottawa, so all that remains is for her file to be merit listed!

I've also updated the date of my merit listing, it was approved by the file manager on the 13th, but apparently with the clerks in Toronto being on an "operational exercise" wasn't actually listed until the 20th.  Ah well!

*EDIT* My wife just received a message from my recruiting Sergeant (she'd emailed him as he seemed to respond more quickly than hers does).  Apparently her recruiter is out of the office for a few weeks, so he confirmed what medical had said (that her medical was approved) and is taking it upon himself to ensure her file is merit listed.

He was also nice enough to confirm in the same message that my file was still active and Infantry is still hiring, which is certainly good news.

As an update...the recruiting sergeant had advised that my wife send him an email to confirm that her file had been merit listed, and she'd received no reply as of yet, so decided to give him a call this afternoon.  Good news is she has indeed been merit listed, and he did comment as to how competitive her file is...considering she has two college diplomas in office and medical office admin (and a third in police foundations, but who's counting  ;D) that's no surprise.

As to my file (Infantry), the rumours concerning the trade being closed are true...no new applications for Infantry are being taken, and some are being stopped in their tracks.  This, however, is not the case for my file.  I was merit listed last month, and when my wife passed me the phone, the first questions was, "How's your fitness".  It's above average, and getting better every day, and I said as much.  "Good, maintain that!" was the reply.  Knowing how vague the recruiters can be, my question was "OK...if you had to estimate, how much time might I have to get it to tip-top shape?".  The answer was "If I had to estimate...September.  Nothing is official, and I've got to finish off a few things, keep up the work on your fitness and expect a call soon."

So now, I'm having to temper the excitement and keep my hopes from going through the roof, which is difficult to say the least.  Promising phone call, though, and definitely glad my file hasn't been closed!

Congrats asteki! Looks like we might be having another infantry guy in the september basic. And thats great news for your wife as well

 

[Ayrsayle]

Congrats guys on the good news (or tentative good news) - Perhaps I will run into you (astecki) later on down the road if you are going Infantry.

I would assume they had a cut off when they realized just how many Infantry applications were received - ending the process for anyone who had not gotten past X point at the time. Glad to see you ended up on the other side of it!

Cheers!

Basic :

the interview,  medical and CAFT was all the same day. the day was a long day of waiting and chatting with the other applicants. if you are to do an all day'er ( 0800-1400) like i did make sure you bring food for lunch. Even if you think you will be out of there before 12. lots of the applicants did not bring food and where very hungry. remember it is a application process and you want to be feeling and be your best . Don't forget the term my brother ( med tech ) told me and im telling you . If your not 15 min early your LATE ! a few guys rolled in at 8 and one after.

Seemed to be a slow process , and every 2 or so months i would call and check in , asking if all the information they needed was there ( but most importantly showing im still interested). seemed to work for me,  last time i called and left a message they called back the next day and told a bit more info.

Good Luck

I called the CFRC today to check up on things, and was informed that I have been selected for BMQ starting 05 September 2011!  Could not be more excited right now!  They (Toronto CFRC) will be making formal offers by phone in the next couple of days as a swear-in date has not yet been set, but my position is secure!

We did also confirm the selections for RMS Clerk (for my wife) will not be made until the fall.  Disappointing, but not too much longer for her either!
