I submitted mine in the Monday & got it back on the Wednesday. Maybe ring to confirm they're working on it?

[Loerian]

I think I will do that if it doesn't come in the post tomorrow cause I really want to have all my stuff in by Friday so I won't be too far behind you guys on the shortlist just incase I get a call after Friday

[Sairus]

Just got The Call.

Akita Prefecture here I come Early departure in hopefully June, though Naomi said that a date needs to be confirmed.

[bigwig]

wow congratulations! how come your not going in August?

[rozzer]

Congrats, great news! Gives the rest of us hope too!

[Sairus]

wow congratulations! how come your not going in August?

I applied for the Early Departure option with the programme. It's a new option they added this year and it meant that I had to submit all my Police Certs and Health Certs along with my initial application.

In case my neutral typing tone is not getting it across, I'm ecstatic right now! Can't believe it!

If Naomi is reading this: Thanks again for the good news!

[rozzer]

Ooh, I submitted mine early too, this gives me great hope!

[Loerian]

OMG congrats !!!

[Loerian]

I bet your so excited, I'm so happy for you!!! did you request Akita ?

[socket2me]

Congratulations Sairus!

That's amazing! Seeing the first alternate's getting upgraded is bringing back the JET-itis, ha.

Really well done! Best of luck with the frantic packing/organising now

That I am Every time I remember the phone call I'm just thinking "Oh my God. I'm actually going to Japan!" and a big silly grin spreads across my face.

And nope, I didn't request anywhere. I requested Nagoya last year but this time I just figured I didn't really care where I was sent - I'll be spending a large amount of my free time traveling to see the whole place anyway

Plus there's some skiing to be had in Akita, so I'm all up for that!
