Thanks Otis.  I am feeling similar now that I think about it some more.  What I will do is plan for the worst and hope for the best.

Worst movie..."The Pallbearer" with that idiot who played Ross on Friends....Never pucked so much in my life then trying to watch that. Kept watching it waiting for it to get better and (like many have said) will never get that time back. Steve :cdn:

Called the RC today to see if they received my VFS and/or med docs yet.  I had been dealing with a PO, but he is on vacation this week and spoke to a sergeant that I have not previously spoken to.  He asked me a few questions about my former service and implied that I may not have to write the...

Born in Halifax...Lived in England, Dartmouth, Victoria, Goose Bay, Borden, Kelowna, Chilliwack and now Saint John. Where do I call home? Wherever my supper plate is, I guess. :cdn:

Jerieln Thanks for the vote of confidence.  I am really pumped about getting back in uniform.  I feel confident about everything except the medical.  My health is great with only one exception.  I have a hypothyroid condition which is controlled.  I really, really hope that it is not a show...

Diesel I have a BSc with combined majors in Physics and Oceanography.  Sounds like it might help me get in, but I graduated in 1990; so I really don't remember a whole lot of it today. What degree are you working towards? Let us know what your RC tells you. Steve :cdn:

Some progress with my fitness is making me feel better.  I was able to run for over 27 minutes non stop yesterday (not the fastest pace, but non stop non-the-less).  I am up to 20 pushups and 15 situps and even managed to complete 4 chin ups.  I am feeling confidenent that all of these will be...

Hi.  I am also in the "same boat".  My application is in and I write the CFAT on Aug 17.  I was a Captain in the Air Force (Log), but got out in 1994 and am trying to get back in as MARS.  I do know that the date for the Sept NOAB is Sept 28.  Before anyone asks how I can be certain of this; it...

MeghanC Thanks for the info. Very useful.  I am feeling confident about the interview (just want to not be over-confident).  My PT is getting better everyday as well. I was able to run 3.5 km today. My Goal will be to hit the 5km mark before the end of Aug. Sorry to hear that your vision is not...

Well...good and not so good today....started a new workout routine with a higher intensity. Felt really good.  Went for a run at a different location. Thought is would be flatter, but it turned out to be more uphill than I expected.  I only got 2km in 11 min.  I did find a bar at the school to...

Good luck on the interview.  Make certain you let us all know how it went. 7 days to go... Steve :cdn:

Rod - Sorry to hear that. I took a rest day today and will be back at the workout routine tomorrow morning.  Antione - Thanks for the update - keep us posted on your research. Sun is finally out today here...yay!  Stuck inside at work...boo!  There is an elementary school directly behind...

And everyone was "Kung foo fighting" and that is one song that is really hard to get out of your head.....lol Steve :cdn:

I am sitting at work (in between calls doing tech support at a call centre - which is the first job that I have ever had that I dread so much that I feel ill driving in but can't seem to get another job in this economy at the moment), and dreaming of finally getting back into the military...

I would love to take some time off this summer, but unfortunately, I need to find a second job (my income dropped to less than 30% of what it was in January and we just can't get by on what I am making now. We have been forced to sell our house and move to a rental (one of many reasons for my...

Met my wife in '88 at a dance at RRMC. She was visiting a friend who was attending and I had just had all 4 wisdom teeth removed the day before. Fortunately, I did not swell up at all; but did play the sympathy card a little bit (turns out chicks dig scars no matter where they are located -...

****update**** The old guy was able to run 2.2 km in 13:40 (the route I have been using is that distance and so far, that is about all I can handle) for only 1 week into my personal training along with 15 situps and 15 pushups.  I have set myself 3 main goals before BMOQ. (1) at least 30...
