Patience pays off

Hi everyone, this is another one of those "I got the call" threads, but it's different this time because finally I am the one who received "the call"! 

I have finally received an offer.  Those who talked to me on here before may remember I was initially going for pilot, but was just *barely* disqualified because a slightly higher refractive error in one of my eyes than what was allowed.  That was pretty dis-heartening, however I am on a new path now which I hope will provide equal challenge and opportunity.  I was given the option between a few different careers and finally settled on Signals Officer.  In anticipation I have been attending University (just started going again this year) and I am in the ROTP program.  I think it's going to be one helluva ride from here on!  Thanks for all those who gave help and support and good luck to those still trying to secure a career

It's good to see your determination to get into the CF. It should be an example for others to follow; never give up. It's too bad you weren't able to get in initially as a pilot, but I am sure things will work out for you as they should in the end.

Congrats and good luck.

Thank you very much derael!  I can attest to the fact that if you have a goal in mind and continue to work towards it, you will be rewarded.  There were many times when my medical file would come back requesting additional appointments, testing and information I really felt like giving up because it seemed they would never let me in.  But I kept doing what they asked and it paid off
