Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[McCooligan]

congratulations McCooligan, I'll be starting a week prior

Thanks MK, I'll see you there.  I'll be easy to spot.  You'll recognize my Southern Ontario swagger.

 

[m.k]

I noticed some guys are getting calls for combat trades such as m.k. = Artillery and Mcolligan  =Infantry.  If these trades were closed for the year, does that mean that some guys failed BMQ and some spots opened up?

could be any number of things but I imagine this is a possibility.

Thanks MK, I'll see you there.  I'll be easy to spot.  You'll recognize my Southern Ontario swagger.

and you'll recognize my less southern southern Ontario swagger...haha

Bonjour tout le monde! I've been a frequent visitor to this site for most of my application process. I've been too superstitious to post anything till I got my call. I wasn't expecting an offer till the new fiscal year at the earliest. This is a really great early Christmas present!

Yes, it is very common and they know about it.  It's been like that for as long as I can remember.  I don't think it happens to everyone though.

Well, lets try this again shall we. I know that it's a tad early so I'm not sure if the process will even begin yet, but I figured that I give'er a shot. I'm in Fort McMurray until February so I'm going to head over to Toronto RC when I get back. 4th time is a charm...I hope. Fingers crossed.
