Civilian to Soldier Ep. 2: Medical Exam & Interview - Follow Up

[@nicolasgarcia7655]

Congratulations, man. I'm a pr I applied almost 2 years ago, and I'll have my medical exams in October, a long process to me, I hope everything goes well for you 🙏🏻.

[@domjong6329]

Thank you for documenting your journey into the CAF! Keep up the great videos!

[@jeremypark2774]

I was embarrassed after seeing your dress for the interview, compared to what I dressed. Anyway, I am going to BMOQ in 3 weeks. Best of luck to you! Subscribed!

[@Mike_Lorusso]

With interviews with government entities I’ve always had a principle of dressing as upscale as possible, it’s more or less a respect thing for me

[@coontimetv9917]

Brother!! I went through the Edmonton detachment last year. Passed my BMQ in St Jean, Quebec. Completed my Trade training now posted to my unit. I can answer your questions

[@jacksimco7568]

Joining for avn tech, just completed testing today, have my medical and interview tomorrow, what does the medical entail? And how can I best prepare for the interview ?

[@zacharytrainor5893]

Hi mike! Keep documenting. It's interesting and helpful

[@TimberFinz]

Hey man, I'm RCR and we love our Sigs, awesome dudes and you guys can get a lot of experience. Can't wait to see where your career goes, maybe you'll end up in Petawawa

[@Mike_Lorusso]

Updates to come soon, been speaking with my recruiting office for application updates!👀

My son had his interview in March, oath ceremony in June and started BMQ beginning of August. He is now in week 6 of BMQ and enjoying it. He joined the Air Force as an Avionics System Technician. He also did it through the Calgary recruitment centre.

[@ShonKinsley]

AVS is a perfect trade with a specialist allowance, tell him to have some basic knowledge of electricity as well as electronics before QL3 (Basic Avionics course for 10 months in Borden) while in PAT platoon in Borden, CFSATE. It took me around 2 years for the completion of training from Apprentice to a fully qualified avionics tech.

[@ottomcannick7698]

Thank you for this post, i hope to be in the same spot in just over a month. You get my sub.

[@kingarthur406]

Hello brother, thanks for your informative videos. I have an interview coming up in 2 weeks and I was wondering if the interview is just like the normal civilian interviews and is there any advice you can give me? Thanks 🙏

[@ronaldostaffe6728]

I am waiting on my interview and medical right now

[@Mike_Lorusso]

The interview is nothing like a normal civilian interview. They more or less want to make sure you know what you’re getting into. Still dress nice and be at the top your game, just make sure you’re fully paying attention when they’re speaking to you. You got this!

[@romanempire89]

Good luck !

[@Ponchoooooos]

I was not in a suit but still a good choice that’s awesome man

[@jonthelamb4549]

Why are you going down to Calgary instead of the recruiting centre in Edmonton?

[@Mike_Lorusso]

I have more family support in Calgary so I wanted to start my journey there

[@cjthebomb5518]

from when you put an application in online how long did it take for you to get a call from a recruiter? I just put mine in like 2 weeks ago I'm getting worried lmao

[@Mike_Lorusso]

Patience is a virtue, I’ll have a new video coming out shortly breaking down my timeline of how and when things happened lol 2 weeks is nothing😂

[@cjthebomb5518]

@@Mike_Lorusso sweet dude looking forward to the new vid, some people have told me it's taken them 1-3 years

[@Mike_Lorusso]

That’s more for PR applicants from what I’ve heard, or for trades that are higher level security clearance possibly

[@Mike_Lorusso]

Keep an eye out for the new video tomorrow morning at 8:30 mountain time!

[@JuniorGD710]

good gratulations, but how long does it take to enrollment?

[@Mike_Lorusso]

Once I get there I can answer that, the final part of this series will have my rough timeline, it’s different for everyone

[@Mike_Lorusso]

Keep an eye out for my video going up tomorrow morning!

[@subarur5429]

Hey man, how can I prepare for my interview. I’ve already done the medical stuff and I’m quite nervous about it, I will appreciate it.

[@Mike_Lorusso]

Well don’t think too much, it’s not your typical interview. You’ll meet with a career counselor and they’ll go over details with you

[@Sciaovostro]

For the interview it will be much better if you really know what trade you are going for and did your extensive research in the CAF recruiting page for your trade!

[@elenabennett4374]

The interview was straightforward. The recruiter asked me what I know about the trade I applied for. Good luck. Just did my medical and blood works. Just waiting for a call from recruiter now. As he said, applications is sent to completion lists.

[@jaleelsayal8181]

@@elenabennett4374 would love to know when you hear back, Do they tell you , you passed the interview or what do they tell you?
