In my experience, get to know your file manager. I know lots about mine. We have chats about BC, the weather, my file...
Be persistant, polite and they will do what they can for you. Sometimes it can be a matter of being one part squeaky wheel and one part interested candidate.
I honestly believe that I would still be waiting to take my CFAT if I hadn't made some phone calls.

Compared to what I have read from other people's experiences, it seems like my process is going quicker and more smoothly. Any delays were from me doing schoolwork and the stupid voicemail system. :fifty:

I won't graduate from Uni until later in the summer but have been pleased with my progress so far. I have had to think long and hard between my first two choices (MARS and Inf. Officer) and the order they are in may change again. Apptitude went well, scored extremely high, hopefully the remainder goes just as smooth.

Surprised they let you pick pilot as your third choice.  Due to the extra processing involved if it is not you first choice then it is not a choice at all.

Well thats the thing ,they know my 3 choices aren't written in stone yet, and that was just the order they were in when I originally completed the form. I told the recruiter I was dealing with that these MOC's may change completely again and she said no problem, just to let them know. Pilot was somthing I had originally thought that I would like to do, but with more research on my part it got pushed to the back burner so to say. Right now I am sure I have narrowed it down between MARS and Inf. Officer and will probably tell them to wipe pilot completeley off my application. Now I just have to decide between the Navy or Army. Seems that I am keen on a different one with every passing day.
