Ok, time for another update! Last time I blogged I stated that I had received my medical and dental packet. I have since completed everything required and I have now been medically and dentally cleared! SO... I am all set to receive an invitation in early April! I got an email stating that I was still in the competitive stage as they place two people for each opening and then chose the best candidate for the job. Nerve wracking! Hopefully I get the spot I am best suited for! Either way, what is meant to be will happen. I am excited! I have already started to buy some of the things on the list including waterproof radios, watches, bandanas and dry bags! I have narrowed it down to three countries. Vanuatu, Fiji, and Micronesia. Although, recently the worlds largest marine protected area was declared near Kiribati... so I may be sent there to progress the initial efforts. Who knows... it's just time to wait...
