Feb 5th gagetown? Who's going?

[Cdnrednk]

Well, I got the call today! Scared, nervous and excited!
I'm swearing in thursday in hamilton and I'm on the plane saturday morning.
So, basic on feb 5th gagetown, who else is going??
Really is like a dream!

 

[winks2872]

congrads... i will be going also.. nervous as heck.. where are you departing from?

 

[Christine123]

Good luck to all of you!!

 

[GAP]

couldn't resist....  ;D  Good luck all

 

[Dominus]

I'll be there.  Leaving from Deer Lake on the 3rd.

 

[Cdnrednk]

I swear in thursday and I leave on the 3rd as well. Flying from hamilton I assume!
Future trade is Med tech.
I'm very nervous, but mainly about my PT as I'm barely qualifying in my timed runs and such but I am also at the tail end of having strep throat so that makes it a bit harder.
See you guys there!! Maybe we could exchange e-mail adresses so we know some names before we leave?

When does the next course start in G'town after this one? I am likely to be on it, as I resolve the one obstacle to my application on the 5th (traffic ticket still in courts). Some of you I know will say 'why not St. J or Borden?' well, it would make more sense from a logistical point of view to have me in G'town from the get go, since that's where my trade training is (043).

Doesn't matter. They'll send you where they have slots.

True enough Des, since when has anything done by the govnt made sense?

 

[TN2IC]

What school? I use to teach there. Have fun.


;D

 

[winks2872]

BMQ... were all newbies  :threat:

 

[TN2IC]

Well I figured that part out...  but what school are you going to? AATC? Infantry School? Few of them there...

 

[Garett]

The course is at AATC, I was the crse offr for the one that just ended.  Right now the word is that the next course is only loaded at around 50%.  If anyone has any BMQ related questions send me a message and I'll try to answer it if I can.

  My son get's sworn in tomorrow in Kitchener and leaves for Gagetown Saturday from
Pearson in Toronto .  He has joined the infantry.  Not too sure how I feel about
it though.  Proud but apprehensive.  Good Luck to all of you!!!

As many will tell you here, Kulemom, you are not alone as a mother with these feelings. A good friend of mine's son is going on next Roto having signed up in Fall of 05. He's a field engineer. We are a family...hang in there and support him with your love and prayers.

Roger that. Kulemom, my father is still a serving member, and he'll probably be heading to Afghanistan shortly after I get back from there.

You will no doubt feel apprehensive about your son being in the Forces. But support him no matter what! He'll appreciate it.

Well thank-you all for the words of reassurance.  He was sworn in this morning and actually leaves Sunday morning.  He is excited... and I am sure he will be a good soldier.  My friend's son leaves for his rotation on the 12th of February.  At least I have some time to get used to the idea.  Good luck to you all.
