[HOPEFULSOLDIER]

finally did it i have been planning to join the forces since i was 14 and now i am 19.

The story so far well i live in port alberni bc a small logging type town and i lucked out and there was a reqruiter visiting my city so i gave him my forms and all my id's to copy and three days later i got a call from booking and testing in victoria telling me to be at CFB comox on thursday nov 27 two days after the call i headed to comox did my aptitude (passed) my medicals(passed) and my interview (was told i was a great canidate for the infantry) and now 1 full week later i am just playing the waiting game since they told me to call them in two weeks after my testing if they havent called me.


YAY I AM EXCITED

i am going to quit my job soon so that i can take on more time with family now and get into a more vigorus fitness routine

Don't quit your job until you have a firm offer.  The "waiting game" could be long or short depending on what trade you have applied for.
See this post.

On a side note, you may want to use proper punctuation, capitalization, etc.  Your post was difficult to read.

I would stay at work but I am working graveyards then sleeping all day. By the time I wake up the Gym I am a member of is closed due to winter hours.


Thanks for the heads up about the deficiencies in my last post I tried to improve this time.

Can you go work out at the gym when you finish work instead of before?

Yes, quite improved, thanks!

AJ OLSEN, that definitely is fast! Congratulations on the smooth sailing so far. I am waiting to be merit listed myself and I can't think of a better present than that either

MERRY EARLY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE ESSPECIALLY ME.........



I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH MY FILE MANAGER I AM MERIT LISTED ALREADY TWO AND A HALF WEEKS FROM APPLICATION TO MERIT LIST.....

 

[abo]

Grats on the merit listing! Im in the same boat. Best Christmas ever! 

 

[psychedelics07]

It only took me 2 weeks from application to interview and references were contacted the next day.  Too bad they close for Christmas,  otherwise I think my file would have been closed by now. I was told to expect a call for early January anyways, so I think it's right on schedule...

 

[CF-DREAM]

Congrats you guys that is fast.  I've been waiting over a year because of an ear problem, 1 more surgery next week and I should be good to re apply. Can't wait. (Gave me lots of time to get in shape though)

Cheers, Bill

im so surprized how different everyone elses application process went.

for me,    it was  application - aptitude test, then fitness test,  then medical/interview..  then they checked references..

seems like they do it differently in toronto then elsewhere.

The process is exactly the same for everyone, however, everyone's situation is different, and the smallest thing can cause the recruting process to grind to a crawl, ie. medical, clearance issues, etc..
