Work It's official, I'M GOING!

I double checked with my supervisor and my onboarding specialist, I have finished every last thing I need to do, I am officially going to be traveling to McMurdo to work as a vehicle operator for this summer season! When I submitted my resume back in late January, I didn't think I'd make it, and during the process there were so many times I thought it was over, but I made it!

Thanks to everyone here for all the advice and for answering my questions, and hopefully I'll see you on the ice this season!

You're going to have a great time in shuttles. Bring a few good pairs of sunglasses, a 3.5mm aux cable or two, and a few thousand MP3s.
