I'd have been born with green, baggy skin and a will made of steel.I've got the will and luckily for me, the army provides the green and baggy part!
Now that I've got your attention...my story.
I started the application process in 2002 after completing a six week cadet course in Cold Lake Alberta. Originally I was going in for Arty NCM out of Ottawa, with a side application in for RMC come 2003. Due to my inability to perform the proper military pushups I was unsucessful at that time. So I put my military dream on hold, moved to St. Catharines Ontario and began pursuing a degree is psychology. Another application went into Lincoln and Welland this time for Infanty Officer in 2005, again in 2006 - all paperwork handed in, called the recruiter endlessly, nothing was done....keep on soldiering. That recruiter no longer works as a recruiter...I wonder why...haha
So it took me another few months with CFRC Hamilton to get all my paperwork together from Ottawa and the reserve unit, and I got my interview re-done in early September. However becasue of my work schedule and the re-introduction of the PT test(and not having PT testers schedules available) I haven't been able to enroll yet.
Due to a change in life goals, I've recently decided that I would like to go RegForce NCM and possibly finish my education later. I simply feel more called into the service then called to sit in a classroom right now.
So...it's been a few years but I'm calling CFRC Hamilton tomorrow to talk to them about changing my application. I've also started a new PT regime, which will be getting more intense as soon as I get over a lovely kidney infection.
Here's hoping to be in uniform before 2009...lol!
