New Member & Just Returned From Swearing In!

[SewerRat]

  After the long haul of 11 months exhibiting extreme patience, I finally am a Private in the Canadian Army.  After being denied from entry once due to my medical history, a well written letter from my doctor forced a reversal of decision.  I breathed in relief today. 

    I travelled to Hamilton ON to the recruiting center with my family and met 4 other younger recruits from my region.  The anxiety from waiting and uncertainty finally melted away once i put my right hand down.

    This was a brief post to announce my entry into the Canadian Armed Forces and I plan to leave more in the future.  I'm very excited to see what the future holds.  Thanks for reading...seeya on the obstacle course

Hi all! This is his wife posting now =) I thought I would respond. He left today from the Toronto Train Station at 9:30am. He is going for Infantry =) I have been reading these boards for a few weeks now. I have found out alot of information about many different things. This is an awesome board and I'm enjoying it very much. He said when he had a chance he would post here. I have no idea when I will hear from him but I'm sure within 2 weeks at some point. Whether it's a letter or a call. It's a big change for all of us. We have a 2 and a half yr old daughter and she has been asking where Daddy is already. I have been telling her he's at work. We will do fine though. This is an excellent career! Keep up the good work all. I enjoy this message forum very much =)  Pam

Well, hope everything goes well for him in the infantry.  I can't wait until the day I get a call for that trade as well.
