squidink, I am an NCMSEP applicant. I can't speak for kmcneil but that is a good possibility as well. I know the others in my area that got calls are also SEP. I have an acceptance to a Civi College locally, no MI for me.
However, congrats to you my friend! Where are you from?

Well, I changed my number one application choice to Marine Engineering Mechanic during my interview. The Captain was very helpful in doing so. It was what I wanted to be all along but I figured I wasn't good enough academically for it. Turns out that I met the requirements for it but we never talked about it in depth, or about SEP. He just said I'll make it your number one choice now and thats it. Well, I am fresh out of high school and certainly have no course on being a MAR-ENG so I'm not entirely sure how it will work. The whole SEP thing confused me.
Well, i didn't get "the Call" but i was in to CFRC today and they showed the the screen that said i have received a job offer. They said that it would be a couple of days before i got the actual call with all the details, then i will know for sure. My assumption though is that i will be going on the same BMQ as the rest of you. Although you know what happens when you Ass(out of)u(and)me things. Lets just hope for the best and i hope to see you all up there.n

kmcneil, I don't think you'll be in SEP. As per the forces web site....

Looks like you're going to beat me and squid to the ship

HA! see lively, patience is a virtue. Did they say what job, or just that you had an offer? Congrats! though now instead of waiting for 'the call' it's going to drive you more crazy in anticipation of all the details. Sounds like an April BMQ for sure. Our tiny group is growing ;D
