POST 109
SELECTED
Hey all who have been following my posts, giving me encouragement, and kicking me in the a$$ when I need it (thanks mods and mentors).
I had received some worry when I called the National Recruitment Contact Center to check into the status of my file as they informed me something didn't look right- to call my CFRC. CFRC Moncton is closed as it is moving for a week or so, so I panicked. I heard from a good source that there were a dozen or so positions left for ATIS Tech, and selections were on June 15. I called CFRC St. John, and they made me extremely extremely happy. My name was on the 'selected' list and that I will recieve the call by the end of the week for my job offer.
I'm very excited to possibly meet some of you out in the world!!! I would also like to again thank all the moderaters who have patiently coddled me and taken the time to answer my questions and some of you who during your work day, looked into the information available to let me know what was going on.
To all of you who are still in the recruitment process: To those of you who have had histories of 'anxiety': To those of you who believe you can't possibly make it for some reason or another: Read my thread. I've been diagnosed with an X number of things that wasn't true, just medical opinion, I've been medicated, I've been injured. I pretty much got hit by the Life truck and I struggled to find my own. The strength is in
YOU to persevere.
YOU can take the reins of your life and steer it in whichever direction
YOU choose. I grew a lot since my first post in October 2010. I learned from George Wallace, Occam, CDNAviator, numerous other mods (I just forgot your names, not what you gave me) and I also learned from people in the process like myself such as NavyHopeful, Motox, and others. I started in 2010 ignorant of everything the Forces has to offer and the different processes to get to where I want to be. With help from those listed above (and others) I learned why the process is in place, why
HURRY UP AND WAIT means so much, and most importantly, not to give up. The Forces want you in as much as you want to be in.
My recommendation to all of you:
Don't give up. Read every thread here and ask the questions you can't find answers to. We're here for you as we're sure you will be to new people who join this site when you know the answers. And George Wallace isn't mean, he's a highly intelligent being trying to teach you to search for the answers, because in the Forces,
no ones going to do it for you.
Thank you all again, for helping me climb into the Canadian Forces Family. I won't let myself down, and I won't let you down.
Kory O.
