Everything went SUPER fast for me.. the only set back I had was that I had to delay my interview, CFAT, and medical for a week since I could not make it for my original date. & I had to get my corrected vision re checked the day of my medical, but they recieved my new vision test the following morning. My file got sent away the next day, and the day after that I had a job offer  ;D (my dates above could be off a day or two, couldnt see my app process online)

Just wanted to post my current status. It was pretty cool that I was contacted the morning after I dropped off my physical papers (I applied online). My CFAT was scheduled for the next day, and I booked my interview and medical right afterwards. I passed my CFAT, no sweat.

I'm a little envious of Sneaker98's quick progress!  Mind you my first choice is closed at the moment. My Engineer choice is being reviewed by a PSO since I don't have an engineering degree, but rather a Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Environmental Studies with specialization in Geography/Geomatics, and copious work experience.  Geomatics is one of the areas of Engineering specialization so I'm hopeful.  While Intelligence is my preferred choice, either would draw on my background and would offer challenges that interest me.  I figure tolerating this slow, drawn out application process is one of the first challenges to overcome. Like others, I wish it was faster, but I don't doubt the recruiting folks are doing their best...so persevere on!

For me:

Applied in Kingston for Naval Supply Tech

Applied Oct 16, 2009
Believe it or not, I got my CFAT and interview (on same day) done in the beginning of Nov
Medical the day after
I called them back last week and they said all is good, just waiting for my position to have a vacancy. I thought the warrant said something about a second medical when I had my original medical done. Guess I don't need a second medical. I don't remember if they asked about my credit, nothing to hide anyways and car is paid off.

I haven't been enrolled yet...I'm completely stoked about it!

The biggest thing that will hold me up is my PLAR. Once that is done it should be easy going as Im am applying for LCIS which is in big demand right now. I don't have any complications to deal with...

Windsor is the busiest Recruiting Center because of all the unemployment.

A few changes, I just handed in my application again today along with all the medical files about my thumb, everything is good to go just waiting to complete the medical and interview again. With Infantry being closed and not hiring until 2011, I've decided to choose the next thing closest too, which is Sig Op. It seems like a really cool trade and I'm looking forward to it.
