just as a quick followup since this thread is dead now... para'  i'd suggest not making threads ALL in caps... it tends to hurt the eyes and piss off the regulars. just a kindly canadian suggestion :D

hey whatever happens good luck with it... keep the determination going. i know that is one thing i need to keep up (i HATE running distances) but, i think we can all draw off some extra determination just talking on these boards.

heh, well im pretty sure if you're going in for the specific trades that require you to drive, they will teach you. might not work for civi driving... but meh. my dad tried to pull that one off on me when i was learning how to drive way back when, he said just enlist in the army.... then you...

anyone got a spare ninja sniper camo net handy? preferably flame retarded (that was an intended spelling mistake) 8)

that was probably it kirkpatrick... i just went in general terms as far as the movie was concerned :p i can only remember bits of it... the blue UN helmets, the trench scene with the booby trap, wandering around in the woods trying to find their lines....

hmm, from what I've heard isnt it customary to give the person that wants the lmg and or AT rocket the least first pick? :D

sounds alot like cross of iron, what with the troops shooting their own men on returning from a mission but i dont believe so, the rest of you described isnt cross of iron

oh, there was another decent one I rented before... simply because there were no other 'war' looking movies left I hadnt seen in the store. i dont remember the name, it was about this young soldier who is fighting for the serbs or some other (my history isnt that great in this region) and ends...

160 pushups...? over the course of what??          :o

so... I'll ask again... hopefully someone lives close. ANYONE that lives near the owen sound/port elgin/sauble beach area.... anyone... I would love to get together for a run (which i am sadly lacking motivation on, i am very disapointed with myself because of this) a chat or a coffee. as...

hehe, except my two actual suits which i managed to finangal off of 1 or 2 previous owners......... no they sure arn't cheap!!! but yes, you definatly give off a better impression...    even when the officer was telling us how the drug information sheet would go over, he asked a question...

yea, i wore a shirt and tie.... and the 2 other folks (one guy one girl) who were there for the aptitute and med were just wearing normal street clothes... so i felt kinda out of place to be sure. but my interview did go well, as i covered in a far previous post :)

Good reading... I love vet stories. More more more    :salute:

you guys already hit the big ones... saving private ryan, BoB, FMJ, the thin red line (which i used the fast forward button alot), hamburger hill, a bridge too far (just bought that last week, excellent) no one has mentioned Cross Of Iron... german standpoint, following a german squad through...

mmhm, i'm sure as cheesy and retarded as it sounds.... there is alot of moments like you see in movies. real bonding, comraderie, and just great times. thats one of the reasons i can't wait to do my bmq, just to meet everyone and really pull it as a team effort you know.

i remember watching band of brothers... there was a similar scene (kinda similar in that there were british and french tanks) someone else might remember which episode better than myself... maybe episode 2 or 3. anyways, they are assaulting one of the towns after the d-day landings start from...

Hmm, i've played AA a bit... mostly on and off when the new patches come out for a week or two furiously... then my interest peters off. I wouldnt mind playing a few maps with you guys... if not just to talk to some canadians. sign me up for some scriming

ya know, i probably would... if not for the motiviational aspect of another person making you push for it. but i live too far away from mississauga now... i dont think i'll be driving 2 1/2 hours for a workout everyday :D

haha thanks..... yes it does go to show there are a few options open... depending on what you are looking to do. I was set on a career in the army at first, but then re-evaluated myself and chose police officer instead.... so that is my path in school. but this way I can satisfy both options...

no... im still going through the recruiting
