Hey, well its been 1 week since I've been here, I called the CFRS and they told me to call Air Canada to change my ticket to the next available flight, one flew out of Sydney NS that night, so I arrived at BMQ 1 day late, they were going to recourse me, but we have a good MCpl who just double timed me through what I needed to know, and I caught up to the rest (wasnt too hard, just confusing)
The first week was hell for me, because I was just getting over the flu and I had the shits the whole week. Carrying 90lbs of kit up 8 flights of stairs in one trip wasn't fun either, but I made it. I'm only a skinny guy, but its a mental game mostly.
I didn't realize how much access you have to phones and the internet, the hardest part is finding the time heh. But sometimes you get breaks, so you can get on the net (dial up) or make a phone call.
I'm loving it so far, just got back from the MIR where they took our blood, and were doing the full combat swim test tomorrow. Its only week 2, but I've adjusted to the life 'so far'.
Anyway, my buddy needs the net, Cheers.
