Allright, heres my full and total story of my application. Ive told little parts of it in posts but since im getting sworn in on Tuesday i can tell the whole thing because its practically over!
ok well it starts off back in March of 05, i was a 16 year old boy with a dream. a dream to be a reservist in the Canadian Forces. So i got my fourms and right when i thought i could make the summer BMQ/ SQ they said that i wouldnt have my school Transcript in time! well then i thought, i have enough motivation to plug through the summer and get it all done in the fall. so i go into the armory during the summer where i meet a major who takes my papers and sends me on my way with a friendly smile and saying that i will be hearing from them(they ended up losing my files so i had to get them redone and all of my refrences again!!!) well now, so i get it all done again and wait and wait and finally recruiting kicks in and a Seargent takes charge of the Recruit platoon or whatever they called it. so i get a ride with a bunch of other enrollees and end up being very nervous. i ended up failing my apptitude test by 1 freaking question!!!! i was so mad!!!! well that was back on Nov 11 05, so i studied my math(thank god for Army.ca because it helped me sooooo much with practice for that problem solving portion of the test) anyways so i waited the 3 months untill i could retake the test. Finally when i retook it on Feb.7 06 i passed everything! and i did my medical, CFAT, Physical (and the rest ) all on the same day! so i was in a happy mood. Well then so i waited, and waited, went to a pretty interesting open house at the armory(got to talk to an ex Airborne who told me about somolia) so i called the armory one nite asking if my file had been sent yet(obviously it hadnt or else i would have been called) the recruiter said that she would call CFRC Ottawa and see if my file was ready to be sent over and that she would call me the next day. So i wait and i wait and then two weeks later call back and ask if they have heared anyting. well, i get a new recruiter this time who tells me that the corpral at CFRC was away when they called and that when he/she gets the message then they will call the armory back.So then i wait 3 more grueling weeks and finally get a call. The recruiter who i had originally talked to said that she had come down with a Sinus Infection and that she had been away sick and oh she has my file here and i am scheduled to be sworn in the next week!!! all that she needed to know was if i want to be sworn in with or without the bible.
oh man was that a long story, and thank heavens its finally over! best of luck to all of you applying and hope that your recruiting process is a heck of a lot less stressfull than mine was!
cheers! :cheers:
