The forces learned years ago that they were losing good, qualified recruits due to their own mismanagement of files and slow decision making. A recruit is not going to wait a year and a half for the call...he will find something else in the meantime.
It's actually good preparation for when/if they do finally get in. Lost files, missing pay cheques, last minute changes, on the bus/off the bus, slow decision making, and these days, the inane attempts at political correctness.
There is no life like it. I did 25 years, and would do it again if I could, but you have to take a lot of days with a grain of salt.
