Great plan. I know we can barely afford to dole out such benefits, but when I was a contractor several years ago, I decided to contribute and was eligible for 5 weeks of paid time off when i had my first kid the following year. As a self employed individual. Imagine that.

that is so funny, great way to deal with the threat. I remember being chastised several months ago when I was all for sending out the homegrown extremists so that they may go kill themselves in the middle east.

agreed. WWI and 2 are great examples of bravery and sacrifice Canadians made. I meant  to say that in the last 20 years, I have more often heard our government taking a less aggressive position, being more careful with how responses were phrased. At least it seems that way to me.

that's a really big toy!

How much of what Harper does is pre-election strategy and how much of it is true belief that it's the right thing to do. Either way, it's a far cry from the traditional pacifist/peacekeeping stance we've had in the past (minus Afghanistan of course), and I kind of like it.

when you say one warrior, what do you mean?

I got the most updated info when I visited the Reserve unit I wish to join. They gave me the scoop and no sh1t truth about what will be the toughest part of becoming an officer in the PRES. Time. Availability. First 3 years, during which you do basic, leadership and trade specific. After that...

Thanks for clearing that up. I mean what you said about the volunteering (the opportunity has to present itself) but you expressed it clearly. batshitistan? lol.

Don't forget, as a reservist, can can volunteer to go on a tour or whatnot that will allow you to use what you've learned. In that case, I believe you can indeed take more advanced courses. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

That's actually a very good suggestion.

If someone provided that testimony, then you would effectively be eliminating any chance of getting into the armed forces. You would be supplying proof that you should not be admitted.

officers go through the same vigorous physical training that NCMs go through. There's no avoiding that.

And what's funny is that the 3 countries offering to host the training are the 3 countries I wouldn't trust under any circumstances. Makes me wonder if they want to get the 'scoop' on the Syrian fighters to use against them somehow (by leaking the info to ISIS). Would those volunteers be of the...

It took up most of the morning. So the 4 hours they ask you to reserve is accurate. Yes, the sample test they provide, even before I took the test, seemed waaay too easy. It gives you an idea of the format and types of questions they can ask. There is a thread somewhere in here that gives a few...

I didn't know the personality test had a score attached to it. I thought it was pass/fail for the trade you want.

Ok, so there are some decent universities outside of giant metropolis; nonetheless, if such a huge part of your population is in those large cities, then yes, they will be heard more, should and probably will contribute more to the workforce of any non-rural type of employment. I also can't...

good luck with that. Hope to see you back healthy soon!
