Turn of events

So, some of you knew that Zac was looking to join the Ontario Provincial Police (O.P.P.) and that he was going to take a course to get his large equipment licenses, including his AZ or Class 1 license. He went to a meeting to have EI pay for it, only to find out that he has to fill out a whole pile over paperwork with a councilor to prove he has no skills first. This would mean that he will mis the start date he had figured on. Being a somewhat angry and fickle young man, hequickly vented and said that he was not doing it if he has to wait till the next one. He went to his mother's house for the weekend, and when he came back he informed us that he has put his name in with the airforce. So, we are back to the military, and his name is actually on the list. He has to go in to Kingston to the recruitment office there to do some testing at the end of the week, and then he will move forward from there. I think he still plans to go check out the O.P.P. recruitment at the end of the month, too, but who knows at theis point? Time will tell, and we shall see.

Hey Mardi, we looked into the military with Dustin. You can go to their web site for all kinds of information. They do test to see what he would be suited for. D wasn't sure it was what he wanted to do so we didn't go further but even if Zack goes in as basic it's at least two years before they would send him overseas. A lot of interesting careers!

Enjoy your blog and keeping up on what you're doing so far away.
