Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[Mike92]

Hey Blake,

I was considering applying for ROTP but after talking to a recruiter and doing some "soul searching" I have decided on the NCM route. I will still pursue my degree as a backup plan though.

If I ever decide to go the Officer route I am under the impression that, with my degree, I could be able to get my Commission while in the CF.

Maybe I'll change my mind in the next year or so...???  ???


With respect,

Michael K.

I've been applying and waiting for two years now...

I know how you feel, this coming spring will be year 4 for me.

 

[gQeline]

I know how you feel, this coming spring will be year 4 for me.

Wow, what trade are you applying for, and as reg or res? Over the years, have they kept in contact with you?

 

[Waters81]

Wow, what trade are you applying for, and as reg or res? Over the years, have they kept in contact with you?

I'm going for reg force, infantry or CE. Oh yeah, they've been in contact with me as I have with them. I did have some issues that required my attention and a few miscommunications on the RC's side of things when I first applied in 2008, and by the the time I had things sorted out in 2009 it was too late in the year and positions had been filled. 2010 warranted no results either as things started to wind down over seas. This past July I came within days of having my interview and medical (literally 2 days) but had them cancelled because my trade choices were closed. I sort of blame that one on being misinformed by the RC, but, it is what it is I guess. At this point, I'm just going to be relentless...I'm getting in this year, one way or another. I call them once a month just to check in and see if there are any updates or anything. I mean hell, the women who answers the phone knows the sound of my voice for cryin' out loud.
This may sound a bit cocky, or at the very least overly optimistic... but I look forward to swearing in next year. Mind you, I may just eat those words  :facepalm:
But I am looking into the reserves as a back up plan. I figure it can't hurt to have a 'Plan-B'.

Waters81,

Well that sounds like quite a journey... I'm sure at the end, when u get in, it will all be worth it. In my opinion, when something I want is taking too long but finally comes, I work harder to keep it because I know how hard it was to get it, you know what I mean? GOODLUCK, to you, and to other applicants (including me) who are hoping to one day become members of the CF.
