good luck pwegman. im hoping my process goes smoothly. but knowing me and my bad luck (hit a deer with a motorcycle) it will be bumpy lol

 

[elite1342]

Hi everybody,
My process was completed pretty quickly, only took 3 months.
Good luck to everyone still in the process!  :subbies:

 

[Rofltropter]

Just providing this here. I just did my CFAT and was so close to qualifying for officer so I am going to take the CFAT again in 3 months and hopefully get accepted for next year!

Recruiting Center: Hamilton
Regular/Reserve: Regular
Officer/NCM: Officer
Trade Choice 1: Signals Officer
Trade Choice 2: Intelligence Officer
Trade Choice 3: Air Combat Systems Officer
Application Date: October 4th
First Contact: October 6th
Aptitude completed:Oct 8th (Failed for Officer, hopefully retaking in March)

 

[Fluff]

Make sure to study hard, there is a large difference between reaching the minimum and being competitive. Talk to the recruiting centre and see if they can tell you which section of the CFAT you need the most work on, unless you already know. Also one trap I almost fell into was thinking since my math was weak I would focus purely on studying math, to only realize last minute that I had not even looked at spatial awareness. So focus your studying but do not focus on one section to such a high extent that your other sections studying suffers.

Good luck!

 

[Rofltropter]

I know exactly what I "Biffed" in the CFAT. I was studying the spacial and the language way more than the math (the irony here) and completely forgot half the stuff in math. I just underestimated this test and I should be able to ace it the next go around. Hopefully If I ace it the next go around I might still have a chance of being accepted for this January's BMOQ.
