    Question about joining

    I say stay in school also. With regard to how long the process is to get in you would be better off staying in school instead of doing it by correspondence, besides if you were lucky enough to get in right away you will be extremely busy on crse and may not have the time or desire to do your...

I worked for an armoured car company in Ontario and during my interview I was asked that very question and I answered yes to it and told him that I had a working plan on how to do and I still got hired ( not that I would ever do it). The question I liked most was you and your partner...
