First of all I want to say I have been a long time reader of this site which has a ton of info.
Friday,January 23, 2009 was the day I submitted an online application. I received a phone call from the recruitment office in Vancouver the following Monday from my recruiter saying that they have received my application and now need me to send in some more documents along with transcript. I was very excited that I got a call so quick and thought to myself "holy shit, I could be through this in no time". Boy, was I wrong.
I sent in everything then emailed my recruiter about 3 weeks later just to see if they received everything and they did. After that I did not hear a thing from them for a couple months. Finally I called to see when I would be scheduled for the CFAT and they told me that when testing teams get sent out my way (North Coast of BC) I would be scheduled.
Finally during the month of June I got a call and email from another recruiter saying I am scheduled for one day processing early July. I shit my pants I was so excited! I was prepared to show them the best that I've got. They told me that if I don't get a call to confirm the date of my processing in the next two weeks to call them. Well they never phoned to confirm so I called my recruiter and left messages and emails but never got back to me at all. I called the recruitment office just to get a hold of anyone and I finally did. They told me that I was not scheduled and the town I was supposed to go to for the processing wasn't even going to happen there anymore. I was so discouraged after I heard that.
I have been trying to get a hold of my recruiter ever since for information on what I should do next but I am getting nothing. No phone calls or emails. Has this happened or is happening to anyone? Should I just keep trying to call or just wait?
A little info: I am applying for regular force Infantry. Doesn't matter where I get posted. I did not choose 2 other trades just Infantry. And I am asking for 3 years. If I was willing to sign up for 5 or even career would this push me through faster? I understand that infantry is full till April, I am willing to wait. Gives me more time to get my ass in top shape.
Thanks for reading. I just needed to write this down so someone might understand my frustration.
