Baby steps, but almost back in..

I heard from the Chief who's running intake team I'm involved with. My file has cleared Ottawa, so I'm approved to re-enrol. The Aero Medical guys in Toronto are in receipt of my docket to award it an Air Factor for my re-entry trade. I'm tentatively slotted for courses in September and october along with a posting to Borden.

If things continue to progress properly I should be sworn in over the summer, get some kit  and start my re-training.

Way to go John, good to hear. I'm getting back in with the reserves myself this fall after the summer tasking season is up.

Well, it took a month but aircrew medical folks in Toronto gave me the necessary air factor to get back in as a Flight Engineer. My file is in control of borden again to formulate the offer of employment.
