As some of you may know from previous post, I ended up getting screwed over and over again. So I showed up in person and some lazy guy said they aren't scheduling for CFAT anytime soon and the recruiter relaying this info to me told me it was impossible to when I could even schedule a date. But a friend of mine was also applying and this guy found out what happened to me and didn't understand it. So he booked me for all three right there and then as well as my friend who had only handed in his application minutes before. Great guy, wish all the army was like that.

Well I got a call today, telling me that Bos'n was already filled out, so he wanted to talk to me about the other jobs available in the Navy. I say sure why not! As soon as he said Nav.Comm, i stopped him, since it was officially my second choice until I only went with one (Bos'n).
He gave me a fast interview, said all is good. Should be getting a call next week, and to prepare myself that I will probably be leaving end of May!

Waiting to hear for the rest.  My references have already been called, and I am told after my medical (which is a week from tomorrow) I am looking at weeks until I get my call. Pretty darn fast so far.

Had my medical today, went AWESOME. The med tech said all in all its Ottawas final decision but I would be "recommended for immediate enrollment." woo *does happy dance* I should know in 4-5 days if I am merit listed. Lets hope all goes well!

Okay, now for the bummer part of it all.....
I just got home from the hospital after getting my gallbladder removed and am out of action for up to six (6) weeks before I can again continue working out at the level I was.  This all happened in the last 5 days.

I am assuming this means I will have to get another form filled out...perfect timing, eh?

On the plus side, it's much better than a ruptured gallbladder.  Speedy recovery!

Phoned today, they told me my file had been sent to Ottawa yesterday and I should be getting an offer in a week or two.  That may be a bit optimistic as my interviewer said expect a month or two, because of national selection, it could take a while.
