Army Application: Accepted - Awaiting Selection
13 years ago
So, had my interview down at the recruitment centre today. The three positions I'd applied for are as follows:
1: Ammunition Technician
2: Weapons Technician - Land
3: Transportation Technician
My application has been accepted for all 3 trades so now it's just a matter of waiting for the selection process which for the present batch won't start until after July. After that date it's just a matter of waiting for the phone to ring and/or calling in for an occasional update as well as possibly having to refresh employment/medical/security details and such. Pretty damn happy about that, but now comes the actual hard part: Making sure I don't let myself down and I keep working out and working out harder than before so that come basic I don't wash out because I didn't get and stay fit enough. On the upside I feel pretty positive about the whole thing. I'll admit I was feeling a fair bit of uncertainty up to this point just because I'd decided to switch from Reserves to Reg. It's pretty cool because it's the first time, in a great many years anyone's ever seriously given me a chance to prove myself and show that I'm capable of working hard to earn a good paying job. Sort of wish I'd done it sooner now, but at the same time, I've learned a LOT at IKEA and other recent jobs that I didn't know before and I think it will all help me in the long run both in Basic and beyond.

Never! I hate guns, I have no idea why anyone would think I like them.
But being local to Montreal, some of us are your best bet for some kind of time away from base when you're off. ;P
I like the outdoors.
So true.
