Over the past two and a half years I haven't put much effort into keeping this blog. To be honest, though I have had plenty of free time to sit down and write, I haven't at all been in the mood to do so. Given the fact that I have spent the past two years in training, first in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Québec for my Basic Military Qualification (BMQ) course, and then in CFB Borden, Ontario where I spent 9 months awaiting my Qualification Level 3 (QL3's) course to begin, and a further 14 months on said course, it's a wonder I even wrote at all. Thankfully, after many long months on course, I finally graduated back in March. Now I will spend the next 18-24 months completing my On the Job Training (OJT) package; the last step I will need to take on the long journey I've taken over the last two and a half years to become a fully qualified Aircraft Structures Technician.
Having finished my QL3's it was finally time for me to receive my first posting, and much to my delight I was posted to 14 Wing Greenwood, Nova Scotia. Finally, after years of bullshit in Borden and my life being on hold, I can begin to lead a somewhat normal life again. Before leaving Borden I arranged to begin living in Personal Military Quarters (PMQ) here in Greenwood, and was lucky enough to be able to get a 3 bedroom PMQ (house) to live in while I am posted here. The quality of life I have here is a world better than what I left back in Borden.
Now, after having been here in Greenwood for nearly 4 months, I am finally beginning to feel like doing many of the things I used to enjoy. I have begun to spend more time reading again, which, no matter how hard I tired, I was never able to focus on while I was in Borden. Not only am I reading more, but I'm beginning to feel the urge to begin writing again, and going for the odd walk, as well. Everything I used to enjoy but had lost all interest in is beginning to interest me once more, which is definitely a positive change in my opinion.
