Hello,
I have recently applied to the Forces at a time when just one of my pool of desired Officer and NCM careers is open - Infantry Soldier. That said, in speaking to the recruiters as we completed my application the issue of Officer careers came up and it has raised a question or two about what to do in this situation.
The trouble with wanting to apply for Officer is that there are no openings right now. The questions I have for the Army.ca community stem from this issue. The Recruiting team suggested inquiring about Officer careers during my interview in approximately 1 month (est) to see if there are openings.
Given the unpredictable nature of openings in the CF, would it be better to withdraw the current application and re-apply when an Infantry Officer position becomes available? Or would it be best to keep the application current and inquire in, say, 30 days from now?
Another issue that came up is leading in the Infantry Soldier role. One of the Recruiters and I were talking about the transition from Infantry Soldier to Officer and he quoted 12-15 years of service to make the leap. Is this figure accurate? Would one be able to, say, enlist for 3 years as Infantry Soldier and re-apply at the end of the 3 for Infantry Officer?
Any information will be of value, thank you.
