Fresh off the boat, one might say. I have slept the first night in my own bed post completion of BMQ-L serial 0546. Typically this news would hardly be worthy of a post. However, seeing as I was the only Master Corporal in attendance on the course as a candidate, I believe I might have some...

For what it's worth I am a long haul driver in civilian life. I am currently 32 years old and have been an over the road driver since twenty. Today I finished my interview and medical testing in Charlottetown PE. My aptitude test was completed last week with all results leading to a positive...
