Fack!! I should hope so!!  >:D

There's a story here -- I just know it.   :)
 
First Contact: Sometime in 1985

What purpose does this serve?  Is this the first time you contacted the CFRC/D for your current application?
 
I hope it's not inappropriate that I respond here...if it is, I do apologize but I do want to offer an explanation.

1985 was the first time I spoke with a recruiter about my enlisting in the Forces. At that time, I was unable to comprehend the minimum 3 year commitment and had fallen into believing some of the 'old' stereotypes that floated around regarding life in the forces and those that enlist, so I turned, and ran as fast as I could.  :o

Since that time I have revisited on numerous occasions (privately) my desire to serve. I contacted a recruiter in January 2008 and began making enquiries and researching various occupations.

Feeling I am now at a point in my life I am ready to make a commitment to the Forces, I made the decision this spring to do so and submitted my application this past Monday, June 2nd, 2008.
 
That's pretty much exactly what I figured you meant by first contact in 1985, for the purposes of this thread first contact means the first time the CFRC/recruiters contact you after your application, this is usually the contact that schedules your CFAT/med/interview.
 
My apologies, I didn't realize...corrected/updated info below  :)

Wow - can't belief they are still taking so long to process people.  When I joined the reserves it took all of 2 months to swear in - jump to regs was 3 months. if I had to wait as long as you folks I probably would have said screw it.

If I say screw it, then this job is not for me.  I've waited (coming up on 10 months) and if something went wrong and I had to wait another year, I'd wait

Yes and all the waiting is the fault of the recruiting system and not because there is anything unusual about the applicants or their circumstances.

True Enough Kincanucks - the system has become a machine out of control - the only things I had to wait for was a week for fingerprinting and the next basic start.

dukkadukka I guess the job is not for me then because I wouldn't wait that long and am sooo glad I didn't have too as I have 23+ years fo service now.

Must be losing my touch as my sarcasm was wasted.

I just always thought it was the usual "hurry up and wait" mentality of the CF! My job choice can be ridiculously fast paced, or be reallll slow. If you want something badly, the question isn't why are you waiting... it's why WOULDN'T you wait?
