rcmp applicants

RCMP Applicant; a person who applies to become a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer

While awaiting the various steps needed in becoming a RCMP Officer, RCMP applicants/ candidates go through all kinds of emotions, i.e "did I disclose everything, am I fully prepared for panel interview; what about the PARE (fitness test)", and so many other things; potentially driving themselves crazy with uncertainty, anxiety, and confidence! Everything they require in order to proceed!

Only candidates know this; thus others, as supportive as they may be, don't understand; sometimes suggesting "maybe you should be a teacher, or a carpenter etc.!

not being 'perfect' at everything; cutting corners; innocent white lies;

I bend the rules from time to time; "yeah, I colour outside the lines now and then"; I'm not perfect you know!

Just like when you're colouring; it's not the end of the world, if you go outside the lines. You're only human.
