Got my joining date! Now here's my story for those who care to read.
Had a day off work today, so decided to go into Brum to mooch around and maybe drop into the AFCO. I was umming and ah-ing about going in, didn't want to seem desparate or anything, but i really wanted to know if my security questionnaire had been processed. So i went to the loo, then decided i'd go in.
Went in, asked an army rep. for the Warrant Officer, and he went to see if he could find him. As he was gone searching, my phone starting ringing. I was embarrassed so i was faffing about in my bag trying to shut it up, when it stopped. I take a quick peek- i'd accidentally answered it. Obviously having a phone conversation in the AFCO is not something that looks good, so instead of ending the call, i just left it, the person on the other end (my boss?) speaking to themselves.
Another officer came in (not the WO) and asked how he could help. Said i just wanted to see how my application was going. Asked my name. I said, and he said, "The Warrant Officer needs to see you! Good news i hope!".
The WO came in and said he'd been trying to ring me, but it answered and he got no reply! I was stunned. Said the phone might have answered itself with all the crap i've got in my bag.
He said my joining date came this morning- 27 May! I'm so chuffed, and the weird experience today makes it feel like it's all meant to happen and it will be great.
It's all been too weird. I didn't know i was going to the AFCO 'til i was walking that way, didn't have to go in just then, didn't go to get a date. Stunned!
