I've been told that there are openings for DEO candidates in the MARS occupation.

All the best

File curently being reviewed by the OC in North Bay. Hopefully that means good things.

File transfered to CFRC Edmonton. Sgt there said they are in the process of sending email to the career manager to secure a spot for me. Should hear back within two weeks. Have a really good feeling about the month of October being super good month for me.

I spoke with my RC today, they told me that CE is now closed and to keep my app going I had to add a trade. I originally had Artillery on my app, but it was closed to I had to remove it. So now it looks like I'm applying for Artillery, which is awesome by me. I'm still pretty bummed though, as I applied a year ago a Combat Engineer is a trade I've really been looking forward to do.

Good luck to everyone else and don't lose hope!

Welcome! Don't think of it as waiting, think of it as extra training time.

Welcome! Don't think of it as waiting, think of it as extra training time.

Of course. You can never do too much training! But it's so hard to wait.

So, had my interview. Was told that it went very well, I had excellent answers to the questions, and that he (the career counselor) was going to ensure that all notes/recommendations were entered into "the system" before he left on leave tomorrow. As I had taken the CFAT before, I didn't have to repeat it, but he did inform me that my score was "basically perfect" which was a nice surprise (I had just been told previously that I qualified for all trades I had listed.) I was advised that I was a very strong candidate and that while there are no guarantees, I should prepare my family for the possibility of things moving very quickly. I was told that there is a selection for DEO MARS on Nov. 1, however he did not have numbers on how many people will be selected.

Overall, a very good day.

 

[Allgunzblazing]

All the best to all of you future sailors  .

Now until the selection board is probably the most nerve ranking phase in the process.
