Got the call today. I was offered LCIS! Someone else cancelled so I got an earlier offer than what I was expecting (October). Funny thing is they didn't mention "where" BMQ will be, but said I would be "flown" there. Since Borden is only 5 hours away compared to 9 hours for St. Jean, I assume my BMQ will be in Quebec!

Two months from application to offer... not bad. They are still doing my PLAR though, but I don't know if it will benefit me at all.

Thank god I have been doing PT. I am currently at about 40 pushups, 30 situps, level 6 on 20 meter shuttle run, and a good 4km run each day. Hopefully I can up the running alot before BMQ.

Don't give up hope guys... it will happen if it's meant to be...

Hey congrats

Looks like I will be joining you on your BMQ, I am set to arrive at the mega on July 24th as well for the July 26th course start date.

See you then!

Sworn in: waiting for exact date

I called in last week to find out my file had been transferred to a MCC and told I should get a call in a week. I couldn't wait any longer so I called in today and was put on the line with my MCC, he told me I was selected for "armoured soldier" and that I was lucky because there were very few positions for this trade. So, I gladly accepted the offer.

Five minutes later the MCC calls me back and asks if he can get me my first choice "would I still want the position?" I said absolutely !!! He called me back about 2 hours later and gave me the news ........... I got in for Combat Engineer !!!!  I'm so excited and overjoyed with my process. The MCC told me that I lucked out because someone had rejected their offer and I was in the right place at the right time. So from start to finish about 3 months total......... WOOO HOOO !!!!!  I feel so lucky. and I can't wait to start my new carreer !!!

My original 1st and 2nd trade choices were Med Tech and Combat Engineer. respectively. Shortly after my Medical Part II, I learned that Med Tech position was now closed, and that I didn't fulfill the Combat Engineer vision requirement.
However, I had also wanted to be a LCIS Tech originally so I am lucky that position is still open

Does anyone know if i would be going to Gagetown or kingston ontario for Basic? (I live in Prince Edward Island)

 

[Cleric515]

i highly doubt you'll be going in june MattPEI, people that are getting offers are getting notified for BMQ in November already. Contact your CFRC and ask them where they are with taking people in because when I phoned in april they told me they were already loading into September.

 

[Matt PEI]

Ah well if i dont get in this june ill have to wait untill next june cause im still in highschool next year  :boring: Thanks for the input tho! My friend who also applied is getting sworn in next thursday but i had some medical stuff to deal with so hopefully it doesnt delay the process to much  :-\

hes joining as a reservist so everything you said is off the mark and does not apply to his situation.

 

[Matt PEI]

Thanks for the input CDN Aviator i was getting worried there for a second

 

[TheNoob]

april? thats a long time to wait...are you sure of that one?

Armoured is currently closed, and they're already filling up spots for November. By the time I get the offer after everyone else before me on the list, it will probably be for April's BMQ.
