The exact same thing happened to me after my CFAT except my counsellor wasn't able to somehow get me into AEC. I too have an english degree and my marks weren't the greatest. I also qualified for all the officer trades except AEC in which I was just under the mark for. I'm going for my second...
Ugh...Just read the other thread about the May 5th BMOQ being full now and they're putting everyone else into this one. Have to do my Interview and medical tomorrow but assuming that goes well guess I'll end up in this one too which is not great for me as my wife is due on August 21st which...
I just heard from someone that went through last year that you guys are the last group to have to do SLT. The rest of us apparently won't be required to do so after basic. Who knows though...they could be mistaken.
Wow...I won't say anything to that.
As for my own situation, I did my CFAT yesterday morning. I did well above the minimums needed for every officer trade I'm eligible for except....yes you guessed it...AEC. Apparently I was just under the mark. I had a couple options. Retake it and...
Well, finally decided to check back with my CFRC yesterday and left a message as to the status of my application. Heard back this morning that they had just received my medical info.(which I'm guessing is what took 5 months to get) and I should be getting a call this week sometime to move onto...
I applied back in September or October 2007 I believe and I haven't actually talked with anyone from my CFRC yet as life has been busy for me in the last few months...Ie--finding out I'm going to be a dad in August of this year.
Good to see more info. popping up on this thread though so when...
Wow, a few things you said sound very familiar. I too am working with children with autism as well as other kids and teens with a wide range of mental health issues at the Children's Hospital here in Ottawa. I'm only casual so I only get shifts if someone calls in sick or they need extra...
Thanks Judy. I'm still waiting to get the call to do my testing and everything else so once it's official I will be doing that I'll probably have more questions at that point. Good to know I'll have ppl such as yourself to chat with. :)
Depends on if you're going in as an officer or non comm. If you're going Direct Entry Officer (DEO) you do need an engineering or bachelor of science degree as per: http://www.forces.ca/v3/engraph/jobs/jobs.aspx?id=84&bhcp=1
If not as an officer then check here: ...
Born in North Bay (but not in "The Hole" although my dad worked there), and moved all over Canada until I was late teens early 20's and we moved to Ottawa. Been here for 15 years now and consider it more home than any other place I've been mainly because I only ever spent between 1-5 years any...
Because too many ppl these days want to do everything on the run and in a hurry. If you can call someone while you're at a concert, take a picture of the band, and email it to your friends while texting them you're doing so it makes it all the more attractive to have the mega-phones that are...
Thanks both of you. I'm sure I'll have some more questions as time progresses and I get through the recruiting part and into training so I'll be sure to ask then. For now I'll just wait and see how this all progresses....hopefully in my favour with all parts of the process.
Hmmm...yikes that is high! :o Well if I do get through everything else and into this trade guess I'll have to work my butt off and maybe I can get a big shiny plaque like the one I saw you got. Congrats on that btw. :salute:
Thanks for the response Airmich! Just trying to get a general idea for down the road. I was born in North Bay so would be interesting to be there again as it's been awhile as I was 3 when we moved so 30 years later now.. :o
