| I was returning home after a day of work when I checked my mail and I saw the envelope that I had been waiting almost 2 months for. So I grabbed the envelope and ran up my stairs threw all my stuff on the ground (including my laptop case....oops) and ripped the envelope open. I started looking at the sheet inside looking for my results. I thought it would either say congratulations or sorry, thanks for coming out. But I found it was a generic letter saying if you got over 3.20 out of 5.00 then you have passed. So I frantically searched the page for my score. It had a couple of columns that listed each section of the test and how I did on each one. I found the bottom of the column to see my score. 3.98 out of 5.00. Not too shabby. At the information session the Sargent said that since there is such a drive for recruits right now any score over 3.20 would go on to the next stage. So when I saw that I had passed that mark I knew that I would move on. What a stress release that was, it ended the nervousness of opening my own mailbox. Now I could finally tell people that I was moving on instead of telling them that I am waiting for the results. But the waiting game is still in full swing, now I am waiting to find out when I have to run the PARE (Physical Abilities Requirement Evalutation). The wait continues............. |
