Out of High School and on to smething diff..

[Canuckx5]

Hey everyone, this is my first post on the forum.  My name is Kyle, and I'm 17 and just graduated from High School in Victoria, BC.  I handed in all my paperwork to join the army early in September and I just got a call yesterday afternoon (while I was at work) so I gotta phone them up once they open today and I'll post whatever it is they have to tell me.

Congrats.

Most likely they will be giving you your first tests dates.

Good with em!

(although it does seem like they took a while to phone you. Took me about EXACTLY 2 weeks from handing in the forms to getting a call back)

Two weeks!  Took me about four months and I had to go in and ask!  ???

Just finished the last of my testing, I had my CFAT on the 19th of October and my Medical, Fitness and Interview on the 27th.  I qualified for the three trades that I applied for:
1. Infantry
2. Combat Engineer
3. Vehicle Tech
But I do have to say one thing, after getting my 1.5 mile run down from 10.23 to 9.47, coming into the CFRC and finding out that I have to do a step test instead was somewhat annoying lol.
