If people drop out of the que ahead of you, then i figure you will be put into their place. With the credit crunch and all the rest, there is a metric shit-ton of people waiting right now so late 2010 is likely.

(im still a civvy so dont take my word for fact)

Have you filled out and sent off your medical forms yet? If not that could add a couple of more weeks onto the time till you get to selection. Same with if you have any more interviews left.

Ask your recruiter, that's what he/she is there for!

I wouldn't go around thinking you will get in January.

You have to wait for medical forms, interview, selection.

You still have to pass all this and get a good score at ADSC before thinking of a starting date.

yeah man, I'm pickin up the medical forms verified by my g.p tomorrow and handing them to my recruiter on the same day. I was just thinking out loud really, but i guess anything is possible!

Cheers for the advice , I'll have a butchers and see what he says!

thanks for the quick reply.

You might be a lucky one and get it all done and an early starting date.

Wish I could be that lucky

I'm looking to join the intelligence corps and I completed my B.A.R.B, literacy and numeracy tests last thursday.

I got a good score and on my potential jobs list OPMI was there smack bang in the middle and to my delighted disbelief the next intake is for the 11th of January 2010 (I was told to wait until April minimum.)

So, my question is......If there are no hiccups along the process is it possible that I will be moved along quicker in the sense that I will get my interviews, and attend the two day course a.s.a.p as they need to fill their quota for the next period?

Any ideas?

P.S - sorry if there has already been a post about this.

I can only really advise you from my own experience, but I'd say you haven't got a cat in hells of making Jan for INT CORPS.

OPMI was my first choice, but I was told - after intially getting a date for INT CORPS selection after passing ADSC (and doing so well) - that my next available INT CORPS selection would be in Feb, and I'd be looking at a June start. This was due to rejoins, mainly.

Now, I have no idea how your app will pan out, and I'm only letting you know what happened to me - your mileage may vary!

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

lol, I love how you guys are letting me down gently. But thaks for the advice, atleast thats time to train.

thanks again

my recruiter said to me other day that despite when you actually pass selection, the ones with better grades are thrown in first to the empty selection dates and for those who drop out. so get on the fitness and learn about selection, start training now get a high grade and the january could be a possibility

January isn't a possibility, its full, but you are right about the grades but you'll be lucky to get in in march if you get a a-b.

Hi , I was wondering , how long it takes from first going to see the careers people to starting basic training , i know this would depend on complications etc but a rough idea would be good
and can any one tell me the selection procces (how many interviews , physical tests etc )

I need to work on my fitness . so im wondering wether it would be worth doing that for 3-6 months then going to the recruitment people or going to them now signing up because the physical tests wont be for a while ?
