July 18 Selection Board
« on: July 18, 2005, 19:23:42 »
For those of you who were selected on recent boards, what was the approximate time frame when you received the call? I am sure those of us who are Merit listed and waiting would be curious.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Dakota,
Well I was merit listed since last May/June and just called my CFRC last week  and they informed me nothing new yet about my application and for the time being I'm still waiting for the  call. I applied for DEO SIGS. If somebody else got the call, please let me know.
Thanks....

Hey Verygood: I contacted Kincanucks, as I knew he would have some answers and I quote, ... " Anywhere from a couple of weeks to a month. Could be sooner or later than that too," that the results will come in and you could get a call. Again, we just have to wait and be patient.

I anyone is selected on this board. I would be great if you could post your info: call date, sworn in date, BMQ date. It would give others who were selected an idea when you are going.

Good luck to everyone.
Cheers.

Kincanucks informed me about being accepted for the (SIGS DEO),and here I have to mention he's  a definite asset for this board. However, I understood that offers take from 2 to 3 weeks to be released for selected candidates. Well, if it takes more  time then I have to keep waiting patiently until I got the official offer.

He is talking about officer selection!

Attention to all who have PM me: I don't have the results yet and once I get them I will contact you as I have your information so stop asking Seaman_Navy and Yannick. ;D

 I was merit-listed July 5 and am hoping I made the July 18 selection board. Could anyone applying to 031 INF who recieves a call within the next 2 weeks please let us know what dates they give you for your BMQ. I'm hoping September sometime but I've heard that this month is almost full so I'm guessing October. I'm curious to know what dates for BMQ that applicants for 031 INF are being given. Any info would be greatly appreciated.   :salute:

Hey Fry, nothing yet. As Kincanucks said hold tight and he will let us know when he has the received the results. I know the wait is painful. I am sure there many us in the same situation.

Hang in there.

  What trade are you signed up for? I've heard that 031 INF have many positions available so I'm confused as to why it's taken this long and still no phone call. I've heard through the grapevine from people in the army that they are very short recruits for the Infantry trade. If this is true than hopefully we will hear something this week or next. If anyone gets the call please let us know. Cheers :salute:

I think and I guess I should have posted that I was going in as semi-skill.  For some reason it takes longer.  You have to have your skilled evaluated by the "managing authority".  They qualify you as semi-skilled or not.  Luckily I was qualified as such.  But the waiting still sucks. I have applied for Ed-tech, electrician.  From what I have been told, it is not a very common trade.  The RC I did my paper work through have not put one through for years.

As I said in another post. Kincanucks is true to his word. He knows that us eager recruits are going out of our minds waiting and he takes the time to give a simple update.

You rock Kincanucks.

I hope I don't get put off till Dec, Jan or Feb.  I was merit listed around July 24th of this year.  Just missed the July 18th selection.  I have noticed that many people seem to get their call about two months after they are merit listed. 

Knowing what I know now I should have put in a month earlier. 

Has anyone else been merit listed for Sig op around the same time?
Hazaa!

I was merited listed July 26 and my first choice is Sig Op.  I'm hoping to get the call for September or October as well.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
