I figure this thread is going to get a lot more posts now that the budget's out. Got the call yesterday,  swear in next Wednesday.  Looking forward to everything that comes after. Thanks to everyone on the forum that helped me get to this point.

Been training since I applied 2 months ago, and tomorrow's the big day, any last minute advice? Thanks for the info so far guys, been a big help.

I was beginning to think I had missed out this year.  Exciting news! Good luck to everyone else still waiting on a call.
