Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[khris343]

Right now I'm jut waiting on them to offer me a position, if I have any luck (I don't) I'll get offered Combat Engineer before the trade fills up. If not then I frankly don't know what I'll do. I really have my heart set on engineer and all the other trades seem to pale in comparison. Hopefully I'll get Basic in November.

Anybody know if the Combat Engy spots have been filled? Does basic in winter suck at St.Jean? Thanks 

,
i just had to change my moc from combat engineer to armored,i was really hoping for it too but i just filled up last week.

Combat engineer and Infantry are closed and probably will remain closed until April 2010. You will most likely be offered an Armoured Crewman position. If you choose to wait for Combat Engineer you will have to wait until April and then you will be competeing with everyone else that is waiting.

OR....

You can take the Armoured position and in 36 months after you are enrolled and you have completed the other requirements (there is a thread on Occupation Transfers) then and only then will the powers that be look at your request. Now you must also be aware that it is NOT a sure thing. You may NOT get the OT. There are lots of reasons not to get one. I won't bore anyone with the details see the other threads.

Pretty sure it's been said here before, everyone reacts differently.  Some people lose it when they have a time limit on things.  It's subjective, to the individual.

That being said, good luck!

Well, what I heard from a buddy of mine who changed trades is it's really hard to remuster unless you are moving to a high demand position, so I wouldn't take Armoured with the goal of changing trades. Plus 36 months is a long time to wait.

Is it true that I will be offered trades that aren't in my top 3 choices? I guess I could always read over what I'm offered and see if anything stands out. Most likely though I'll just wait untill April. Thanks for the advice.

 

[FDO]

You will be advised that the trades you want are closed or you do not qualify. The job of the Recruiter and Career Counselor is to give you all the options available and go from there.You will not be offered any position that you have not been interviewed for or have said you would accept well before the offer stage.
