You'd be in 7th heaven here then as they have curry filled pastries(a jam buster/bismark with a curry custard) here in Mister Donuts. 
I do like the sound of that!

well, hopefully I can figure my way through these scenerios if I get to go to MPAC. Anxious to get started, yet it has only been a week since my interview. I need to learn to be patient.

has anyone been through the physical here? I'm at the gym every day to prepare, so hopefully all will go well. I would hate to get to basic training then be sent home because I was one push-up short of the standard!

Been a long time since I did the physical, but if you are hitting the gym every day you shouldn't have a problem.
The CF isn't expecting every person who walks in the door to be triatheletes.

Their fitness standard is, or at least was, something that a highschool student in decent shape could easily meet.

The minimum standard today is at a level that if you fail it you should be put down! It is pathetically low.

Haha!! Ok perfect. Yes it did seem low to me, that's why it actually concerned me. Being female, I am not the best at push-ups, but I can do them. The running and sit-ups seem pretty easy.

Still waiting. I don't think any of my references have been called yet. Wondering, should I give my recruiter a call? I was given the contact info of the Corporal in charge of my file. Should I get in contact with him to see what's going on? I was told in my interview that I would know by the end of the month if I get to go to MPAC. So I know we are not nearly there, but should I still get in touch with my recruiter, basically just to touch base?

Yes, Im quite serious about this, you need to bug the recruiters to get them moving. I had to do the same when I got it, I called ever second tuesday.

Thanks for the advice! I'll give him a call on Monday. Hopefully it will give me favourable contention. Although I still creep on to the recruiting chat room every once in a while and inquire as to whether the position of MP is still open, just so I have an understanding of the intensity of my competition. Turns out it is still open for the taking.
ginger @ Thu Sep 09, 2010 8:13 pm
Guy_Fawkes, what position were you hired for, if I may ask?
ginger @ Tue Sep 14, 2010 5:21 pm
Well, got a call today - with much angst, my references have all been called, and now my file has been sent for what I assume is final review, or as I was informed, the "merit list." Hopefully good news will come soon.
