It is really happening now, at times i admit i thought this was not going to happen. From my fingerprints taking forever, to my first 2 trade choices being full i got a very good lesson in patience and this whole  process took almost 9 months. I look back on it now and i wonder where the time went, but at the time these past 9 months were the longest in my life, or so it seemed.

But i am in the best shape i have been in since high school and i feel as though i am now ready for the next phase of my life to begin. i had posted questions on this website at times and i want to thank all who answred my questions as it helped out alot.

And for those in the same situation as i, as  in a long wait, be patient good things will happen. i thought many times that my chance of getting into the forces was dead but it was not and i could not be happier.

And one more thing before i go, the staff at the cfrc were great, i called many times and they were always great and very helpful and always there with a laugh or two.

Everything went well today with my interview for Signal Operator since my trade was changed.  It's only been 2 months since my prints were submitted, so hopefully the CFRC gets a response from the RCMP soon, but I'm not expecting anything to show up until January.  Still, everything seems to be moving along rather quickly, and the staff here in Winnipeg keeps me well informed of the application status.

Ok guys, everythings done but my security clearance form.

Then it's off to basic in Borden.

I didn't get Marine Electrician which is what I really wanted but I did get Naval Communicator which should be a great career and have all sorts of opportunities in the Canadian Forces.

I'd really like to become a SAR Tech but that's a long ways away and today i'm just happy to be in the Forces at all. Good luck to everyone in their applications!
