In the Navy.....

That's right folks. I am in the Navy?!?!?!?!?

Yes the question marks should be there.

Lesson number 1 with the CF, you get to tell them what you want to do and where you want to do it and even the color you want to wear while preforming said task (blue, green or black)...

However, lesson number 2 is They will take that information, write it down, laugh at you and then tell you what you are doing, where your doing it and what color you will be wearing while doing it.

So I am heading out to basic training in February, as an RMS Clerk (My 3rd choice...out of 3) and as a member of our Canadian Navy (Also my 3rd choice...out of 3). I am excited about the new adventure, however; it is going to take me a long time to get used to the fact that I am in the Navy.

I get a career manager after I finish basic so I will let them know what my career goals are (Aeromedical Tech) and hopefully after my 3 year contract is done they will be able to get me a component and occupation transfer...at the very least a component transfer so that I can be in the Air Force and one step closer to my goals.

My mom has been limping around the house singing in the Navy and making fun of me... she is also making fun of the ranks... mainly because I can say Ordinary Seaman without laughing when she adds "so you don't even get to be super sperm? Just ordinary?"

Chalk it up to my ever supportive mom.

Anyway; Life's a bitch and you just have to roll with the punches.
