govenor_mac, What kind of training was your son doing before Basic started? What does 4.5 out of 6 mean? That he cound not run a certain distance in a given time? Glad to hear he is doing better.

I live in Mississauga, ON. I used to live in Moncton, NB though. What part of NB you from?

I was studying computer science and doing a lot of work on the computer.  I hated sitting in an office looking at the computer all day. I also didn't like...
