My story starts in June 2006, I have always wanted to join the army, particularly the infantry, It looks like the most exciting job in the world. I filled out an application when I was 18 and never received a call back, so I figured they didnt want me or they were full or what ever the reason was I just gave up and pursued something else. Two years later (january '08) I started to get really sick of the same old thing every day, I'd rather have a job and a life I enjoy then living day to day just getting by. So I applied again, this time I got a letter with a bunch of forms and phone numbers, wow. So I tried those numbers and no one ever answered the phone, I even tried everyday for a week once, NOTHING. So I gave up again becuase I was sick of trying to get a hold of this recruiter it seemed like they weren't interested in recruiting people. Then about a month ago I decided I would try this one last time. So I call all the CF numbers I can find and finally get some answers, apparently my recruiter was on maternity leave so she didnt answer her phones... So I found a new recruiter in my city. The same day I went down and handed in all my paper work and everything after getting all my transcripts and my birth certificate. I go down there and she photocopied everything and sends it off (or so I thought) I waited 20 days and yesterday I called them (day 23). Apparently they have none of my information, only that I had applied in january '08 and that I never returned their calls. So now I'm raging, all that work for nothing? today I got all my stuff and drove two hours away to a nice fancy CFRC in Edmonton, AB. I fill out everything and right away she tells me I can't get in the CF becuase I dont have enough high school credits BUT I do have all my gr. 10 classes WTF ???. My last recruiter told me I needed 15 credits!!! (I have 27 high school credits, I know it's pathetic but I had to drop out of school, then I ended up running my own company so I figured I didn't need any more education, I am in the process of getting my last very expensive 8 credits within the next month) although I'm still determined, I'm just sick of all these Hidden rules, lies and Mis-understandings within the recruiting process. I'm hoping ill be in Before the end of this year IF I pass all the other tests. If for any reason I have another problem with the recruiting process I'm giving up completely, this is not the way I imagined it would be.. :boring:
