So it's been quite a while since I last posted on here. As of now I'm still waiting, it's been about 6 and a half months since I started this process, and still hanging in there. If you didn't know I was medically unfit because I was diagnosed with painful flat feet, which was a mistake so I decided to challenged it. Three days ago I called to see what the status of my file was and with good news the corporal told me the RMO in Ottawa received my files that day, and said I should expect a call within a week or so. So I'm really hoping that the RMO clears me. It's been a pretty long process and it would be nice to finally get started.

So I received a letter back today after sending away my appeal and for the second time I was expecting "the letter of doom" but turns out they do send good letters...it says they are pleased to inform me that medical limitations on duties no longer required and I now meet the common enrollment medical standard required by both regular and reserve forces. I was so happy when I read this. At the bottom it says call the recruiting center to discuss the final decision concerning my application, So I'm just waiting to hear back from them an hopefully I'll be merit listed in the next couple days. Thanks everyone for you help on getting me through this and your support, I appreciate it.

I talked to the recruiters yesterday and they are just waiting for my medical file to come back and then I'll be merit listed, she said it could take around a week. She also said that I could be starting BMQ July 20 at the earliest. I'm pretty excited to finally get started, it's been quite a long wait..

Interview went alright today, nothing special. Medical was a breeze and the officer was really nice. 1 more test and 1 more medical then it's out of my hands and nothing but a waiting game.

I'm fairly optimistic about making the Sept BMOQ.

Basic Training Begins:
Was offered to start March 2nd but due to the dates being so close I declined for time restraints. They called me the next day and told me I was put in for March 16th. I had to decline again and put my application on hold until yesterday. Resubmitted my info and now I am waiting once again. Hopefully this is the last time for this process.

slaw why on earth did you have to put it off so many times?

slaw why on earth did you have to put it off so many times?

Well when I left BMQ in August for some personal medical stuff I re applied in Nov. I was then offered a job with a company here and when the CFRC called I was out of town for work and had no way to get back. So I had to put it off...then due to massive lay offs I am now home and can re-do my application again.

It's been going fairly quickly so far, hope this pace keeps up! Unfortunately, if there are no openings for LOG when all is said and done, I will have to wait until September to attend the NOAB for MARS, and then have BMQ delayed *le sigh* - such is life!

I got a call today, finally. Overall, the entire process time wasn't too long for me.
Now that I am selected, time to quit my current day job and start working out hard. =)

SUCCESS!! I recieved a call today, and I am booked to do the app test, med, and I may get to do the interview. Unfortunately I was at work when they called and they booked up before I could return the call, so I can't do the physical in the same day.

Man it was just good to hear something, so I know that they are aware that I exist.
