Starting recruitment process

[Snippet]

Hey yall, I'm going to be going to the recruitment center tonight to drop off my application. Im joining the primary reserve as infantry (thats all there is here) and I am hoping to be in within a month. I read everywere that it often takes over 6 months to join but I talked to the recruiter and she told me I could be ready in a few weeks. She also said that the quota was reached for the amount of applicants the reserve was hiring but that next week they would be looking to see if they could hire some more people, I'm hoping they do!

The only thing I will not be handing in tonight will be the self assesment for the physical. I havent had time yet but this weekend I will most likely do it. Im just trying to bring my score up a bit. ( I can only do like 20 pushups) The situps are fine and the running im sure I can manage but I have next to no arm strength. Ah well I wont let this get me down. I hope I make it into the next BMQ.

From what I understand (and that's very little) they shoud have plenty of space when the new fiscal year starts (1 April) for new R031s (anyone want to correct me on that?) Aside from that, it's tough to say how long you'd be waiting for your BMQ to start. I started my application process in early January over a year ago, finished all my tests/interviews the first week of February, and was told to show up on course for the same weekend. Not saying it will be like this for you, but the point I'm pushing is be ready to put some weekend plans on hold on very short notice if you get your course.

Best of luck.

Kk thx for the advice, If BMQ comes early (and I hope it does) I wont care less about any other plans. All I need to do now is fill out My physical self assesment and my interview page wich I DO need to return to them. I saw that many people did not bring it and had to do it on the spot so I asked the recruiter. Wish me luck!

dont stress about your upper body strength. I am in the same boat you are. Just keep up your pushups and EAT.

good luck with the application
