Hi, I just dropped my app off today, but my dad lives out-of-country, and not a NATO one either, so this could be longer than expected due to background checks.

I went through the interview and aptitude test before doing my medical, hence it may seem my answers are wonky. I've been told that a position is being held pending my vision being approved. Apparently I'm sitting on the fence of being disqualified, but if I'm accepted, they're keeping a spot for weapons tech open for me. I'll know more next week. Hoping for the best for me, and anyone else waiting for a call. Cheers!

*Update*
Vision came back V4, changed trade choice to ATIS Tech. Update interview scheduled April 26, 2010

*Update2*
Had my update interview April 26. I was informed ATIS is no longer in demand. Switched to LCIS, completed interview. I am now awaiting Criminal/Credit check to be done. I was informed they are very busy right now and it could take up to 2 weeks. Provided their are no hiccups I should be merit listed once those checks are complete.

I called yesterday to see the status of my file and was informed it had been transferred to a career counseller for review and I should get a call within a week. Does this mean I'm merit listed?

Now that I am Merit listed, I was told I "should" get called with an offer sometime over the next 2 weeks.

I told them to do my PLAR afterward... as I wanted in as soon as possible. The PLAR will only benefit me in skipping some of POET (which I decided I want to do most of anyway for a refresher).

 

[ToolMaker]

Just an update.
I've 'bobbled' a bit. My first interest was joining the reserves. After some research I decided to apply for regs LCIS. Now after reviewing my qualifications, posting options and the like with my recruiter I am switching to ATIS. (Always had a love for aircraft-too old to be aircrew). My indecision may mean I have to wait until next year  , but sometimes good things come to those who wait.  :nod:

First Interview: Scheduled for May 6th, 2010
Swear In: TBD
BMQ Start Date: TBD

My medical went well. I then talked to a recruiter and was told that Infantry and Artillery is closed (which were 2 of my choices) so then I put Armoured Soldier as my top choice and Steward as my 2nd. Steward is outside my box and an occupation I have never heard about. I told the recruiter I like to travel so he recommended that. I'm opened for anything that comes my way, so if they offer me a Steward position, so be it. I know I would love it.

One Day Processing, as my local RC calls it, is great in my opinion, because then you get everything over quickly. When I did mine (also did it all in the same day) it offered me lots of time to meet others from the area who were also applying to the Forces. Plus we got to checkout all the videos our RC had, which was pretty cool.
