Greetings to everyone here,
I figured I'd take the opportunity to introduce myself and disclose where I am in the recruiting process all in one go. Although my profile speaks for itself thus far, I'll just mention that I am a twenty year-old male living in Burnaby, a city in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia for all of you over in the Center of the Universe
. Due to an enduring interest in the military and a desire to take a part in something bigger than myself or some company's monthly sales projections, I decided to enlist with a Primary Reserve unit (I still want to iron out a solid post-secondary education before making a full leap into anything). I was interested specifically in the occupation of infanteer, that coupled with a healthy appreciation for all things Scottish (personal ancestry), led me to the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada.
At this point I've been fortunate enough to have had a relatively expedited recruiting process, roughly two months so far. I have now successfully completed each phase of recruitment and am awaiting contact from my local CFRC (I did the PT test last, and it was at an outsourced private location, who knows when they'll deem it appropriate to forward my papers). At this point I don't mind the waiting at all, although agonizing, it's easier on the nerves than actually having to mentally and physically prepare for the tests and interviews, regardless of how easy or challenging any of them may have turned out to be.
That's currently about it for me, I'm just damn happy to have found such an extensive resource and community, and to have a bunch of guys and gals to suffer along with me through the process.
