Kmess said:Best of luckFrom what I've read this has been a long process. I bet you let a huge sigh of relief out then started a huge "cloud-nine" like high. I can't wait do get the whole process done :camo: Again good luck
Oh, very much. Thank you... heh, now I'm reeling from the fact that after waiting like half my life, this is finally happening. Also, that I'm really going to be doing this. It's very surreal and time is just flying by. Good luck in your process too!

Congrats...you are never too old to join, providing you meet all the requirements. I was 35 when I joined, but have a body of a 20yr old.
The oldest guy on our platoon was 42 and was going armour.

I believe in destiny personally, and everything happens for a reason at the right time. Just make sure going in there and give it that never die attitude. Half our platoon was gone by the end of it all, and 95% of those were young ones in their 20s

yeah - it seems like it was always the wrong time, or I lacked the infrastructure to help me pursue my goals. Now, everything has fallen into place and the only thing that can stop me now is me. I hope I can cope well with being away from the kids and husband.

Congrats, and dont worry about the complaining part. In case you havent noticed, everyone around here complains, and so does everyone else in the military. I wouldnt recognize this place if we all stopped complaining

so um yeah... nerves have set in. Leaving in 4 days. Went through a couple of interesting phases, complete fear of failure last week, separation anxiety which has been coming and going this week. I'm feeling pretty positive right now. I will admit, though, that I was stressing hardcore earlier in the week - to the point where my stomach hurt.
Looking back on the last 9 months - I've come a long way. I'm stronger and faster than I was and my endurance has increased a lot. I actually did a 13K ruckmarch last week, with 45 pounds on my back in 2:20:00. I know it's not as heavy as I will do later but I felt really good when I finished. Would have attempted the full BFT but I don't think I could convince any of my girlfriends to join me, and I sure as hell can't lift the husband. Physically I am as ready as I'm going to be. Mentally, well, I'm just going to have to get there and I'll be fine.

Home on leave for the long weekend... which means back to the Mega tomorrow.... ahh well.
Just thought I'd pop on real quick to say hey. Things are "going well", I guess you could say. No real complaints here. Staff is great - PSP folk are amazing. Loving my job so far - despite the set back. I washed out on my Expres test first time around - totally choked. Did all the physical prepwork... just had a bit of a mental block which I totally felt ridiculous for. Go figure. So I've been on WFT for a few weeks. No big, going back to platoon as soon as a spot opens up.
Met quite a few army.ca folk.
fuzzy, mack333, the mighty W, lucasbutts, tulach ard (awesome chick by the way - love her to death), reaper, pollock, gary d in SK, and monicasmall to name a few. some people I was surprised by and others not so much.
lots of great people, I'm just happy to be where I am. Now that I've got my head right - let the games begin...
