Hello everyone, some of you might remember me being in here very regularly a couple months ago. Then I wasn't, so I'm going to tell you what happened with my recruitment process.
By December, I still had not heard anything from the CF about my application, and I was starting to get nervous. I went on tour with a band called Hello Operator, they have toured with Simple Plan, The Killers, Hilary Duff, Loverboy, and some other big names. And it turns out they needed a bass player.
Anyways when I got back from tour, literally that same day the CFRC called me and told me I had been accepted, and would be leaving in a week for Quebec. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do saying no to them, took almost 6 months to apply and 5 min to say no. No to almost $3,000 a month to go to school. Haha, wow it seams so much more stupid when you type it. I mean what I'm doing now is a huge opportunity, and something I felt I had to take advantage of while I am this young (just turned 18).
And yes I still want this very badly, and it is something I know I will end up doing with my life, but I know that if I had gone, I would be doing pushups in St Jean right now saying "You bloody idiot, you had your whole life to do this why didn't you just try music."
Anyways, thought that to anyone that ever wondered what came out it this, now you know. I'm open to opinions. Nice to see that things haven't changed here.
Take care, Kyle
ps. Oh thats right, the only thing I am happy bout it this, is that the application process, if and when it is repeated wont take nearly as long because of the paper work they already have. fingers crossed
