One day last year i decided i wanted to join the reserves for a challenge and to see what the CF has to offer. Well my bestfriend who lives in Kingston decided he wanted to do the same thing so we both filled out our apps at the same time and handed them in at the same time. Well he gets a call 1 month later to come in for his aptitude testing and all that good stuff for June 28. By this time i hadnt heard anything and was getting quite anxious. Turns out the CFRC never got my application!! How does that happen? I handed it to the recruiting officer at the exact same second my bestfriend did. Anyways i submit another application in July and then finally i hear back from them at the end of September. The recruiting officer tells me to come in to Kingston from Belleville to write my aptitude test, get my medical check, and interview on October 4th. Anyways everything went great and i passed everything with flying colours. They said the reserve unit here in belleville(The Hastings Prince Edward Regiment) would contact me within 3-4 weeks to let me know if they had a spot open. So on that note im still waitng to hear back its only been 2 and a half weeks. Getting back to my friend now, he finally gets a phone call on thursday from the reserve unit there in Kingston telling him they have a spot open and that they want him to come down that night and get sworn in and everything(this was 5 months after he did all his testing at the CFRC). This is the part that really ticks me off, he decides he doesnt want to do the reserves anymore and doesnt show up to the swearing in ceremony and here i am the one who wants this so bad and he just breezes through it all and gets accepted and decides not to go.
anyways thats just my rant thanks for reading
