Heres my story;
On March 21st I filled out all of my applications, and handed them in (that was 7 days after my 16th birthday). On the 29th of April I recieved a letter stating that I had my Medical/Aptituted Test/Interview on the 5th Of May. Since I am in Grade Ten I had to skip a day of school, no probs there
. First thing at 0800 hours I had my aptitude test, no sweat there, went a lot easier then I was expecting although there were a few questions that I was a little hazy on, passed it. Next; I had to wait around for 2-3 hours, time really flyed, then I had my Interview, that went fine.
After lunch I came back, did my Med. The bad thing is that I had drank 3 caffeinated drinks (Coffee, Tea, and pop) and my blood pressure + pulse were through the roof, somewhere around 140/89 and my pulse was at 129. I took my hearing and eye sight tests, I did fine there, I have perfect hearing and 20/20 vision. Then I sat around for another hour before the second part of my test started, and they took my blood pressure and pulse again there, it was still kind-of high for me at around 130/70, but that's fine. I had no medical problems, and passed the medical.
On the 12th of May I had my Fitness test. I was expecting something a lot harder. I passed it, found it very easy... I am in alright shape, but am big at 100 kg's and 175 cm tall, but I do not look it... it's all in the arms
Now I am just waiting for some indication that I got into the reserve unit I wanted to join.
And that's my story..
