G'days Colin.
Welcome to 'The Best Damn' Garrisson. Good to see that your on your way to getting into a TK. The more the merrier and if you've seen the Dreamworld photos there are a few of us (understatement).
As everybody has already givin you the regular advice that all new recruits get I will just give my personal advice, as a view from a rookie if you will.
You've obviously done your research and not just jumped in with pre-built armour. This is good as even pre-built armour requires modifications and it's better that the armour is originally built for you (you must be sick of hearing that one by now
).
Don't rush it, it may take you longer than a month to have your armour completed, but work at your own pace and ask lots of questions as you go.
I have denied it to many but I did rush my armour in the end to get ready for Dreamworld and my webbing is now falling apart and my legs require massive re-building. Not a big probleme though as my repairs will be easy.
Hope I have givin you some insite and hope to see you at an AP or Troop. Being a recruite doesn't mean you can't wrangle.
Cheers
