So sorry for the bad things happening to you Jay. That does suck.
Try googling and reading the following..... its called the Desiderata. Its a poem and it is full of excellent advice on life....but the one part that stands out for me right now is....."whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should." If any of you have not read it before, please look it up.
Second..... I got a call today from my RC because they had a letter for me to pick up. Its about the NOAB.
It sounds like I was a little off on the clothes thing. I quote, "Attire for the week should be clean and neatly pressed. It should look appropriate for a conservative business setting. It should not look like party, cocktail, or picnic attire and the look should be classic rather than trendy. Clothing should fit well, being neither tight nor baggy. Jewelry should be minimal and conservative. Don't confuse club attire with business attire, if you wear it to a club, you probably shouldn't wear it for the NOAB interview. For male candidates, a suit or jacket and tie are appropriate, as is the upper end of what is considered 'business casual'. As a minimum, a long sleeved shirt and tie with dress trousers and dress shoes. For female candidates, a two-piece business styles suit, dress or skirt and long sleeved blouse, conservative in style and neatly pressed are appropriate. Dresses and skirts should be of a reasonable length. A pansuit may also be appropriate, it it looks professional rather than casual. Closed-toe shoes and stockings should also be worn."
The letter goes on about this a little more but I think you get the idea. Also, it mentions that for women, you probably want to consider dress pants for the sail on the warship as well as the site tours we will be going on. Here is a good point that is made near the end thought, "We do not however expect you to have to go out and expend monies on a NOAB warrobe in order to meet our requirments, consequently if there is a problem or concern please contact your local Recruiting Centre and they will forward your concerns to us for additional guidance."
It is very important for us to carry with us a current photo ID for access to the base and dockyard facilities. (plus you can't fly without photo ID anyways)
I am pretty sure you will all get a copy of the same letter, but I wanted to give you a sneak peak just in case you haven't seen it yet. There is more in the letter (it is two whole pages long) but I just don't want to type the entire letter. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Also, about the CV/resume things........ I was told by my RC that we do NOT have to bring a CV/resume but it was suggested to me that it might be a good idea anyways. So if something happens that you don't have one or you forget it, I get the impression that it will not be a big deal. Of couse, as usual, if someone knows something that different, please correct me.
Only a few more days now.....
