Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

[saltymike]

Hi All, here's my experience thus far:

Recruiting Centre: Ottawa
Regular/Reserve: Regular
Officer/NCM: Officer DEO
Trade Choice 1: CSE (i.e. NCS-ENG)
Trade Choice 2: AEC (trade was closed at the time of my interview, so I removed my choice)
Trade Choice 3: none
Application Date: December 2009
Confirmation of Former Service: May 2010 (took 6 months to get my previous file)
CFAT Completed : June 2010
References Contacted: June 2010
BackCheck Completed: June 2010
Medical Completed: June 2010
Interview completed: June 2010
Merit listed: July 2010
NOAB: TBD (possibly Sept 2010 or Nov 2010)
Position Offered: TBD
Sworn in: December TBD
Basic Training Begins: TBD

My application was a little more involved as I had previous experience in the CF as a MARE CSE officer (now known as NCS-ENG), and the confirmation of former service (i.e. a records check) took 6 months to do.  No big deal, as this is par for the course and reminds me of my previous time-in - it gives me more time to prepare/rebuild my body for BMOQ  .
