But yes, on topic, why sign up if your going to worry your rear ends off. Obviously you know what your getting into before you apply... hopefully. Seagris, you are one of very few that I know who aren't worrying. I'm not even sure how i'm going to get from Toronto to Borden yet and I dont even care because i'll get there some way or another. Probably book a bus tomorrow or tuesday.
People aren't machines. People are going to worry. Especially civillians who are going off to the military for the first time. I worry about some things. I'm not a nervous wreck, but being too carefree isn't good either. Worrying makes you remember things.
Failure to prepare is preparing to fail.
Haha, you should care about your transportation though. Good idea about booking a bus or cab. The dude from Gander needs a ride too, so prehaps if push comes to shove, the three of us can share a cab.

Anyways.. everyone should be excited and relaxed because once we get there theres probably not going to be time to relax. So party on and remember not to drink the day before you leave beause it would make a bad impression to show up with a hang over. Hahaha WWWAHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Excited yup. Relaxed? Hardly. The mere thoughts of enduring what's about to happen makes me more tense than ever. But I think that's a good thing. I'm not going there thinking that as long as I don't quit, I'll pass. I'm going there knowing that a strong amount of effort will be needed, but I can make it.
No, not good to show up to CFB Borden with a hangover. Even worse if it's one of those 2 day hangovers, because getting up 4 or 5am with a hangover ISN'T fun.
Seagris, outstanding advice. These forums are worth paying a MONTHLY fee just to access them!
Looks like semper beat me to the phrase!
