I'm not sure what the hold-up is, but it is a bit reassuring to see that others are going through the same thing.
nmjg77 said:17 weeks? Aie! That's insane. You would think they would try and get some help to clear that, wouldn't you?

nmjg77 said:Reserves? Ok that's totally different. I applied for reg forces.
You know what's funny is in 1964, an age with no computers, no cell phones, no fax machines, etc... My father walked into the Montreal recruiting centre and a week later he had his job offer, sworn in and sent home on leave for a week before going to Camp Borden for BMQ. 45 years later, and almost 6 months later, I still don't know if I have a job offer or not.
Something is wrong! I know it's case by case, but this is getting a little ridiculous. I suppose that's where the motto "Hurry up and wait" comes from...
FDO said:Today we no longer have 3 distinct services. Back in the early 60's the Navy, Army and Air Force did their own thing. Now EVERYTHING goes through one office. On top of that we now have to do longer and more indepth security checks. Some of these are done by civilian agencies. And because of past lawsuits we have to make sure you are fit for training or the CF ends up paying a lot of money in disability payments because we didn't do our job properly and you got hurt or agrivated an existing injury.
Consider how many files have to be gone through from across the country. Right now like everywhere else they are shorthanded. We are tryng to get them done as quick as possible. On top of that, priority trades are going to get looked at first then the rest. Hang in there it will happen. Rome wasn't built in a day and we are moving at the speed of Government!
