Congratulations Pea. It looks like the recruitment time has decreased significantly. I am still slugging away. The recruiter called me back last week saying they hadn't received my high school transcripts yet. I received the extra one that I ordered this past week, so hopefully they got one as well. I will be excited when I finally get the call, but for now I am worried, lol. Anyways, once again, way to go, make us all proud. :cheers:

I figured I should post again before I head off to St. Jean.
The movers came on Monday and packed my place up and took it away to storage. I spent 2 nights in my empty apartment, and then headed home to my Mom's place for the past couple days. I just finished packing finally. I really need to learn not to be such a procrastinator. I'm headed back to Edmonton tomorrow to do some final errands and then just hang out for my last night. My Mom will be bringing me to the airport bright and early Saturday morning for my flight to St. Jean. I'm really excited now, but also incredibly nervous. I know it'll be better once I get there and get somewhat settled into this "new life". Trying really hard to look at what I am gaining instead of being sad over what I am leaving behind.
I suppose I should say farewell to army.ca for the next 5 weeks at least. I'll check in once I get a free weekend. Thanks to all for your encouragement and kind words throughout this process. Take care, and wish me luck!

The one guide that has helped me get through many a "challenging course "
is
"One day at a time."
Feel free to use it! Best of luck

The one useful thing my Dad told me, when he threw me out of the house.....Baden Guy said:The one guide that has helped me get through many a "challenging course "
"The Army can't make you do anything; they can make you regret not doing some things, but it's always your choice."
I've used that mantra on occasion -- "I don't have to be here; I can always go to jail if I want (I bet it's warm & dry there, dammit). Nope I want to be here....."

There you go again, JM, talking about people being responsible for their own actions. Sheesh, you are indeed stirring the pot ;D
Pea: Good luck, remember that even though you are an army.ca vet, you're just a noob in the Army ;D
Have fun!

Here's a little mantra for when you're dead on your feet getting third degree scream burns from DS: "At least they can't shoot me, at least they can't shoot me...." Repeat as necessary.

I used to say that, until they did. Three birthdays in a row in the duty room gets the point across. The real heartbreaker was getting "no jello" stamped on my meal card, now THAT hurt.

So Pea called me tonight, she says so far it's day two and it's complete hell but she is loving it. She had a wonderful day of standing at attention for four hours and running five flights of stairs a bunch of times, oh and they let her eat some of her lunch and most of her dinner hahaha. Anyhow, she is doing really well and asked me to give you all an update and let you know she misses the site and all her friends. :-*
