Swearing in: N/A
BMQ: April 23 2012 (maybe)

- I am in a little bit of flux right now, I was selected for a job that does not exist (currently). From what I understand the Marine Engineer has included two old trades, forming a new  Marine Engineer program. Since I was not interviewed for the "new"  Marine Engineer trade, they need to confirm my status. A bit odd yes, but I have faith in my file manager. I was told I would get an update in the next few days, I will keep you guys posted.

Its been a long road, but from them approving my college studies (3yr advanced diploma) it opened a lot more doors then civilian life could have and I am very great full for that fact.

Hi Everyone,

Officer/NCM: DEO Officer
Trade Choice 1: Aerospace Engineering Officer
Trade Choice 2: Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Officer
Trade Choice 3: Engineer Officer

Application Date: May 2010

Sworn In: April 18/ 2012
BMOQ starts: April 30/ 2012

Is there anybody going BMOQ April 30/ 2012?

If you don't mind me asking, why did it take nearly 2 years after completing your aptitude to get called back for the medical? Congrats on your offer though! I applied into ROTP as an Engineer Officer and should be hearing some news by mid April!

 

[Bridger]

Everything but the CFAT has to be redone every 1-2 years.  Those dates were most likely whuang58's last updates, not the original dates...

By the way, congrats whuang58!  I'm going in as a Combat Engineer, you could very well end up as my CO some day...

Finally received a reply on the checking of my previous service record - all is good, they're looking to get me down next month for an aptitude, medical, and interview.

Called the RC two weeks ago, they said I'm 'mentally fit' and passed.
Just waiting for an offer. I wish I do BMQ on summer time.

I'd just like to inform every Combat Engineer and ACISS applicant, that the next selections for those two trades (according to my file manager) go as follow:

Combat Engineer: August 2012
ACISS: Late April (Last selection for a while)


Good luck everyone.

 

[Gatsby]

So anyone who has applied for Combat Engineer and has not received an offer to date, will not receive one until August at the earliest (provided you're high enough on the merit list that is)?

 

[Bridger]

So far I think I'm the only person to identify themselves as a Combat Engineer going to a spring BMQ...  Doesn't sound promising. 

Anyone care to comment on life as a Combat Engineer on PAT?

Combat Engineer: August 2012
ACISS: Late April (Last selection for a while)

Wow, that kinda sucks actually. I'm still waiting for my file to be transferred to Toronto RC...she's lookin' bleak for me once again.

I can also back up the date for CE.

For Infantry for those Interested, June 2012

Just got back from Hamilton where I did my Medical and CFAT.

To those who still have yet to write the CFAT, don't sweat it but review on concepts you may be rusty on. I can only say what other's have said; know your math, a good prep is the DUMMIES series of books.

Correct. Unless there are random selections to fill in a few spots

[whuang58]

Hi Matthew1786 and all,
Thanks for your greetings. There are a couple of reasons my case lasts two years. One of the reasons I want to share with you is the interview I did in Jun. 2011 was not successful because I didn't prepare well. Then I had to reapply for the job three months later.  That was around Sep 2011. At that time, the trade I applied for was not open, so I had to wait. Anyway, last week I finally got the offer excitedly. I hope everyone can be patient and well prepared.
Hi Bridger,
Talking about the CO, that would be nice if we can be in the same regiment although it is something about 5 or 6 years later.

Time will tell...  In the meantime, see you around Saint Jean!

 

[EZYI]

Just be patient, you will get an offer, it took me about 14 months.

I was merit listed for ACISS on March 16, 2012. No offer yet as of today
