I finally got my phone call telling me I didn’t get in to the January BOTC (not a surprise, as it started two weeks ago), but Borden wanted to keep my file open, which the captain who called said is a good sign for the September course. My problem is that my wife is due within a week of the start of training. I know the CF always tries hard to ship guys back from overseas, but getting time off of course raises more of a stink, and I can only imagine trying to get leave from basic (and within the first few weeks) might be pushing my luck to the extreme. Anyone have any examples of it working? Do I want to mention it to anyone before I get to St. Jean (or at all)?
Cheers,
Ralph
