YES!!! Selected for 031 Infantry! Anyone received the actual call yet? Let us know when you do. Also, I was under the impression that trades like Infantry and SigOps were being fast tracked. So recruits for trades being fast tracked who didn't make the July 18 selection board still have a chance of making a September or October BMQ right?

  And one more question. What is the likelihood of us who have just found out we have been selected for our respective trades getting into a September BMQ? If the chances are good than I would like to let my boss know so we can get someone trained for my position (my boss informed me he would like a months notice before I quit). This is probably an impossilbe question but any insight would be apprieciated.  :salute:

Hey all, I got the call today. I was offered my first choice, 043- Combat Engineer. I accepted. I get sworn in September 13. Fly to St.Jean on September 25 to start BMQ on September 26. The wait it over for me and onto BMQ. I feel I was lucky only waiting 5 months to get the call, seems quicker than the most.

I just want to thank everyone for their help in answering questions and all the helpful chatter. It made the wait more bareable. This is not goodbye to this site, just onto to next challenge and more forum chatter in the future.

Thanks and good luck to all of you who are still waiting and hope to see some of you at BMQ on the 26th.

Congratulations Dakota!

Sounds like you are on the exact same schedule as I am - if you are leaving from Halifax I will probably be on the same flight (and at the same swearing in ceremony)

Good Luck!

I talked to the RC today and was told that all my paper work is final  and I quote " your file seem to rolling down hill".  I really didn't like the way he put it, but he did re-phase that everything was good to go.  He told me I should be getting a "conditional" offer very soon.  Is that what all offers are....conditional?  And what are the condition?

Keep the hopes up. I never thought that this call would ever reach me, but today, while eating an oven pizza and watching a re-run of Third Watch, the phone rang. Then bam! Offer accepted.

    HELL YEAH!!! I also got my call today while I was at work! My boss handed me the phone and said, "it's the army!" I knew right away why they were calling. So I ship out October 1 and BMQ starts October 3. Can't wait. But in the mean time I'll be training hardcore. Hey Fry, what are you going for?  :salute:

A few hours after my initial official offer phonecall, A lady called me back and told me that I would be going to borden, not st. jean, quebec, because of overflow or something.

My date for BMQ is oct 3rd to dec 16th.
