Hi folks, here's my take and what happened to me...
I applied along time ago when I was still in highschool and was turned down b/c of medical reasons (asthma), went through a bunch of testing the CF recommended to prove I had beaten the asthma and had the physical ability to do the training. Did that, by the time the offer came through, I denied b/c I was about to go to college and found a woman and decided I'd apply later on after I got a degree etc etc... In other words, I changed my mind.
So, applied 1 time, denied, applied again, got offer.
THIS time. I am applying for Reserve force infantry. Recruiter told me I was ranked a 6 out of 9 enstead of 8 out of 9 because of the fact I'd been denied a position before and also refused to take an offer. He said it's common and not to worry much but it's noted....
Needless to say, I still don't have my offer yet. Last time we talked (last week), said in my area they are holding off the new recruits until January in reserves because not enough people applied and they don't want to have to truck us all over the place together to train...
SOOO.... We'll see what happens. I'm not holding my breath, last time I had an offer I was a "7 out of 9" he said. This time it's lower, and not very good.
Anyway, good luck to you all. You can make it in again later, especially if your applying for something they need (Pilots atm+other technical trades especially)
