Here is my story thus far,
I have been wanting to join the military for years, and my 16th birthday was four days ago. I had been planning on applying to 32 CER based out of Denison armoury, and had heard of an information session they held on Tuesdays at 6. So my father and I decided to go. When we got there the security personel asked what we were there for, so we told him about the session. He told us he knew nothing about it and called someone from 32 CER but no one answered. He than told us that they were on stand down for the summer, and that we should go to CFRC Toronto.
We went right after leaving Denison, but it was already closed. We went the following day and spoke to a recruiter who informed me that they are not accepting any new applications due to budget cuts and won't be until possibly next year. But he than told me that 709 Communication Regiment and HMCS York have still been running training courses while others have not. I filled out a contact sheet before leaving.
As soon as I got home I phoned the recruiter for 709 Comms, and asked if there were any Sig Op posistions, which he confirmed. He than asked if I was free for the next morning. So I just came back from there and basically did the same thing that I did at CFRC, gave him my contact information. He told me that although they have available positions, they are not accepting any new applications, and that I would still have to process them at a CFRC. So I do not know why the CFRC would refer me to the regiment recruiter if I still have to go through with them.?
So I guess that I will just have to wait and see when they are able to accept new applications?
