To put it bluntly, I think the notion is stupid.

Thanks for your answers guys! I'm not too worried about civvie street stuff after I retire, I have a network admin diploma and some Microsoft certs and stuff, I'll probably just dust them off, upgrade etc.. I'm starting to get pretty excited about joining after waiting so long. (since april 04)...

There was a lot of talk about Starship Troopers in a thread some time ago. I think alot of people here missed the fact that the movie is a parody of its genre. It featured silly dialogues, outrageous concepts and B actors. The director admitted the movie was an "upgraded B-movie." But I think...

They told me my basic begins on the 25th, which is a tuesday, which I think you pointed out in another thread. So I'll call them this Monday to make sure, so maybe I'll be there on the 24th with ya. You'll notice me, I'll have my Army.ca t-shirt on :D

I just got my call today.. but I missed it doh! Called back and got the voice mail... They might be out for lunch I guess, its almost noon.

She had to have wanted this to happen. Its a good move though, kicking her out of the party, even though they lose a seat.

Someone should pie her.
