Medical booked: Apr.23
Interview booked:May.2
Merit Listed: June.14
Position Offered: Construction Tech -  Offer Denied
Basic Training Begins:

I may have just made a HUGE mistake, but given what information I received from the recuiter my gut tells me otherwise. However, I was floored to hear told that I had been offered the only position available for CON TECH, but I hope that it goes to someone who had it as their first choice.

I sure hope I know what I'm doing  :facepalm:

I was in much the same position as you are a little over a month ago when I was offered a position as a Traffic Tech, which was my 3rd choice. I thought it over for a few days, and ultimately decided that I would regret choosing that position, and not waiting for the results of selections for my main choice. When I was selected as a Combat Engineer, I was extremely happy to have made that decision.

I leave tomorrow for BMQ, so I likely will not know how your decision turned out, but best of luck to you. Getting what you want is a great feeling.

Cheers,
