Time to make big changes in my life with lots of work to do in a short amount of time! I've never backed down from a challenge and I don't intend on doing so now!

On October 13, 2009 I submitted my application to join the Canadian Armed Forces as a Regular Force member. Basic Military Qualifications (BMQ) is scheduled for end of August, 2010.


Up & Running

T-9, Sporadic entry

Sorry guys, too much going on to make a decent entry these days. There’s only 24 hours in a day and a lot of those are eaten up by sleeping and work — and leaving a very small amount of time for doing much else. I’ve been trying to get everything done before I go, that needs to be done. Getting bills paid ahead of time or at least organised so my mom can do it for the first month or two that I’m away… getting my stuff sorted and packed to go into storage… buying whatever else I need before basic that I need…. getting stuff out of the storage that I’ll either need at basic or during the next year… a lot of things to think about and do, in a short amount of time.

The base traffic guy has set up the moving and Friday the movers come to do a pre-move inspection to see what I have to get packed. Most of my stuff is in storage so there isn’t much to be moved — it should go nice and quickly.

I also made an appointment for Saturday to have a running analysis done by someone who is certified. It’s an expense I can’t really afford but at the same time, I believe it will be useful throughout basic training. I would like to try and avoid any injuries or soreness by running incorrectly. If she can identify anything in my running gait that will cause discomfort over a long time, it would be good so I can be aware of it and try to self-correct as I run.  I had wanted to do this months ago but I had the bronchitis and couldn’t run for very long at all and then afterwards, just got too busy. I should have made time earlier for this! But, it is what it is! I’m interested to see what they say and will make sure I get an entry up on that.

Finally, before I head off for the night… good news! The “good samaratin” who stole my bag last week (accidently), returned it finally. I was very, very happy about this, trust me!!

Updates to come soon, I promise :)
