Before I start, please note that I do not have DWAN, EMMA, and any access to any CFAO's, DAOD's, Canforgen's or anything and it has been a nightmare getting any information or any real help through my CoC so far. I have even reached out passed my CoC and have been turned away or told to not try anymore before they even helped me.
My Story and current problem:
I barely passed high school in 2003. In 2008, I went to college for business, hated it but ended up falling in love with math and physics. In 2010, I started at Queen's U for Physics as a mature student. The first year as a mature student you are required to do 1 year on academic probation, which is 75% average as a part time student, then you get accepted as a full time student. After my first year, I had a new born son and was choking in OSAP debt and struggling to live. Realizing I needed more for my son and wife, I looked for a career that would support my family but also help me stay with academics. I found the CAF.
I applied to the CAF in Jan 2011 for the ROTP to be an AERE. I was denied because Mature student wasn't a "normal entry" to university, so the detachment center wanted to use my high school marks for the ROTP app. Since my HS marks were garbage I didn't get in. 6 months later, I had to go on welfare and take time off school to get a job. Realizing I wanted a career worth having, I applied to the CAF as an NCM-SEP.
Here is where it gets really messed up. When I got my offer to join the NCM-SEP, the mbr I dealt with told me that he saw I had applied for the ROTP. He then told me that, since I was a registered full-time student when I applied, I was exempt from needing to use my High school marks on the ROTP app, and that I should have in fact been accepted for the ROTP. Since I passed every other part of the ROTP app process and AERE was an in demand job at the time. He told me because the last mbr who did my ROTP app, did it wrong, I basically got screwed over. Since I was out of university for 6 months and needed a job NOW I didn't have the luxury of waiting till next year to reapply for the ROTP and had no choice but to take a job now. In May 2013, I went to basic and in Sept 2013 started college for my NCM-SEP program.
With no access to any CFAOs, DAOD's, or anything, I have to email my chain for every single question I have or any document I need to be able to look into my case. Most questions are just answered with pretty much an "Well I am not sure. Maybe I will get more info for you later"(Which never happens). I can't get over the feeling of losing so much that I worked for(self-learning for years and going from failing HS to getting into UNI and taking Physics) because someone did paperwork poorly.
Now the problems I face are:
- I can't apply for ROTP without VRing. (Which can't happen because I need to support my family.)
- To be eligible to apply to the UTP-NCM I have to stay in my trade for years to get QL5 qualified. (Which I would probably lose my student status by then. Since my HS marks are bad the only way I could reapply would be as a mature student; you can't enter the UTP-NCM that way)
I worked so hard to go from nothing to be able to get into University. My true choice for a career is AERE officer not AVS tech. I am still a full-time registered student at Queen's University and am allowed to start going tomorrow for my degree if I wanted to. What I want to do is switch from NCM to Officer so that I will get sent to University and be able to work in my true career of choice.
How am I able to go about getting help to do this? I don't know what to do.
If anyone could advise it would be so greatly appreciated.
