February 3rd BMQ

[Colta]

Hey all! Just got the call today!! Going in for AVS Tech. Figured I'd start this and hopefully meet up with some fellow recruits going in on the same day.

 

[Wysiecki]

I got the call yesterday!  I'm going into ACISS.

 

[Colta]

Congrats! It's exciting... I'm glad to hear of someone else who is going the same time I am. I wonder if we're going to be in the same platoon? I know there are 2 platoons starting on Feb 3rd. Where are you from? I'm from Saint John, New Brunswick.

 

[Wysiecki]

Congrats to you as well! I'm from Victoria, B.C. I'm really excited for it. A couple of my friends are going to be there too. One of them started yesterday, and the other back in November.

[FRENJOER]

Hey, got my call last thursday. Ill be flying out on feb 1st from halifax, Anyone else flying out the same day from Halifax?? Going in as Supply tech.

 

[Colta]

I'm flying out Feb 1rst from Saint John, NB.... glad to hear from another Maritimer. Has anyone found out which platoon they're going to be on? I know there are two going in, I just haven't got any of my paper work to find which I'm in yet.

 

[Wysiecki]

I haven't heard anything about which platoon I'm going to be in. I assume that they tell you that at your swearing in?

 

[Colta]

I think so... some people have had their paperwork sent to them prior to their swearing in and I guess it said on that... The recruiter that called me to give my offer said she'd be sending paperwork... but I haven't gotten it yet.

 

[matt54321]
