I miss her. A fantastic talent. Bad Wolves also did an excellent job with this cover. I was listening to it so much when it first came out.

I have heard that the process itself can take years so maybe I could just start getting more fit now and then if I do decide to enlist by the time I'm able to I'll be in good enough shape to survive BMQ.

No, it's good that people are doing this. They clearly want me to think about this and make sure I know exactly what I'm getting into. I had a similar talk with a friend of mine who served. Granted, he's American so things are a bit different there, but he did point out that many people enlist...

I've thought about Reserves, possibly. I feel like it would be a more flexible option. Yes, I'm aware that the physical requirements would be just as demanding as regular force, but because it's only a part-time commitment it could be a way to ease into everything and get a taste of military...

Yea, I know it's not easy. If I were to enlist (which in itself is not even certain yet) then it seems I'd have to do a lot of physical training beforehand. I honestly wouldn't even know where to start and with where I am now it would be a long process. It almost doesn't seem worth it. As...

Yea. I've thought about this as well. I have some mental health issues too that may make BMQ especially difficult. I'm just really desperate at this point since I have no direction in life. I have no money and I can't even keep a job (often due to factors not even within my control).

Wouldn't that be an actual security risk? I really hope reservists aren't actually doing this...

Yes, and this is sort of what I was getting at. Words can cause people to lash out and they have. This is why certain hateful remarks need to be monitored.

Right. I see no issues with free speech, especially in today's society where so much is being censored due to people being so sensitive, but I do believe there needs to be limits. Like, promoting criminal activity and spewing outright hate speech shouldn't be allowed (I mean actual hate speech...

Telegram, as in the app? I don't know a lot about it admittedly.

My music tastes are honestly all over the place. I don't listen to much modern pop music, though, as about 90% of it is trash.

This is true for a lot of youth from super troubled backgrounds. They do often get sucked into gangs and heavy drug use because it's somewhere they can fit in and belong. I'm glad cadets gave you another path,one that kept you away from all that. My niece is a fentanyl addict and it's slowly...

I can't say no to war movies, especially ones about Canadians.

I was gonna say turn it into a museum as learning about these events is important, but then I saw the part about "too expensive to maintain". Hmm...

I am a person who enjoys being intellectually and mentally challenged. The cadets did offer some of that as well, which really worked well for me.
