I commence training Nov 1st. Well up for it.
Been down the AFCO today to finalise things and put it in writing, left under a mountain of pointless paperwork. So long as i dont get arrested for violent conduct or contract an incurable disease i'm in. Awesome.
I'm going down on the Monday which is when i thought every new intake began. Obviously not. Anyway we'll both be newcomers on the same week so we can mince around without a care in the world, so long as we have our orange flashes on display. No matter if we forget to salute a passing general or such like.
See you there.

Adam, how long ago did you pass your PRMC mate? They told me 4-8 months for Canadians to get a security clearance.
Cheers, Kyle.

6 weeks guys!
i did my PRMC july 5-8 kyle, security takes awhile....it took me 12 weeks or so for the security clearance, then as soon as i was cleared i got on the next available date which was 1nov.
don't worry about that though, its a bit of a piss off, but just more time to train!
g'luck buddy

Yep your right there Foobar me old pal, loaf whilst I still can
Is it true there's going to be three Canadians in our troop?
Foobar I spoke to somone who is starting on the 18th of Oct and his troop is 885, so it makes sense that we're 886...You never know though probably end up something different..[/quote]

884 Troop started last week Fodd...I'm 883, so by my reckoning 885 should be 4th October, 886 18th October, and 887 1st November. Assuming they've got the numbers to have a troop starting every two weeks.
