I am also going for mech engineering! Where outta Vancouver are you from? Too bad about the Canucks! I watched the entire game, and they scored just as my friend showed up and I had to answer the door! By the way, I'm outta Victoria Good luck to everyone still waiting! And congrats to everyone...

I worked 16 hours yesterday, so I didn't have access to a computer and this is a day late. HOWEVER! I got a call at 3 yesterday and an offer for Marine Systems Engineering! I'll be heading to Kingston! I thought at first it was my friends pranking me again, so I didn't answer. Then my sister...

That's great! Congrats!

That's fantastic news! Way to keep positive, and congrats on finally making it!

Me too! I hope Phoebe's right with her calculations and we start getting good news soon! That being said, my friend didn't get a call until mid-May last year.

I am working for the month of May, and then travelling around the world all of June and the first week of July. Once I get home, I am off again to the Calgary Stampede! After that, it depends on whether I've made it this year. If I did, I will just relax and spend time with family until recruit...

This is my first st paddy's, a group of friends are taking me to the local Irish pub and then out and about town. It should prove to be interesting (by interesting, I mean life-threatening adventures) and I'm sure there'll be stories once the night is over! Happy St Patrick's to ya'll!

It went well! I found it was a combination of easy/hard, parts of it I was absolutely stumped for, and other parts I just flew through. I did find, however, putting in the time to revise and study was well worth it. I was prepared, and I did my best. The same applied for the interview; I found...

My apologies for disappearing for the last month, it has been a very stressful and exciting time! With regards to interview, medical, and CFAT, I am done and merit listed for all of my trades! The interview was nerve-wraking and stressful, but I was found competitive for MARS, NC Eng, and MS...

Thanks Oaktown, that helped a lot! It provided good info and plenty to think about. In other news, that's me in for my interview today! Wish me luck, eh!

YES! I have had a chance to speak to the staff at the recruiting centre (they are extremely helpful!) and ask questions here on Army.ca, however, I do have one question. In your opinion, what are some of the negative aspects of being a MARS officer? I've done some research, and the large amount...

Just had my CFAT and medical, and I'm having lunch before finding out when my interview is. Very excited that the ball's finally rolling! I believe I passed, I didn't get pulled aside, so that's good! Good luck to everyone else in the process of learning about "hurry up and wait!"
