I never win :( So, my "winnings" equal jack squat!

My friends mom last year went from a McJob to Combat Engineer. She did the same as you... took a year to get really fit and she's now off to finish her trades training I believe... and she was 47 or 48. So, if that helps reassure you! :)

Hey! I know YOU won't be allowed a drink but - in your honour, I will sacrifice myself that night for you and consume all of your alcohol so that it does not go to waste. Would that be acceptable??? :)

One of the above articles states that the UN has things under control along with other governmental and aid support relief agencies... that's why :)

I could be very wrong but from what was explained me to just yesterday... your BMQ start date will vary against others, depending when your second level of training begins. For example, if it's another 9 months before your trade training is set to begin for the year, they will try to have you...

I want you to be aware that I am supporting you in whatever way you need to get where you're going. BUT... you said something in your last lengthy note that really has be concerned. You mentioned that you meet pretty much every countries definition of woman. I will wholeheartedly declare here...

My ex suffers from PTSD. A while back, during a conversation with another military member about it, he kinda said laughing, "Is he one of them fakers? Just trying to get out of tours?" and kinda smirked. I looked him straight in the eyes and said, "No, actually. I've waken up to being beaten in...

Next step is Borden baby!!! I might still be around to go visit your graduation!

Oh how cute! Makes me want to pet each and every one of them! Or not. We've got our own cruel and dangerous animals -- including the Fierce Canadian Beaver -- . True story, my friends from Mexico would NOT go into the waters at my cottage for fear of being eaten by the beaver or...

a "Crisp 15c", eh? Sheesh. I hope that was a minus -15c  :P Crisp where I come from, doesn't start being used until it's about -25c :P I need to get me down under!!! Time to get close to my aussie relatives!

I had to actually both times drive and pick up my (now ex) from Trenton. He was posted at a base that was NOT going on tour but providing support to one who did. We had many hours of waiting there before he left. Coming back, it was weird. Everyone has changed and you have to play this "game"...

Oh hey! Finally something on this site I actually know something about! (Though, after I wrote this, I realised that it may or may not pertain to what was discussed today in the throne speech... my apologies if it doesn't.... but, it is sort of relevant as information to spouses of military...

Hey guys! I love the words Hostillimetre and Sarcasmometre! Mind if I steal 'em and put them into my everyday vocabulary??? Tango:  You can no longer declare bankruptcy on federally and provincially dealt loans -- only those you obtain directly from a bank (like, a line of credit, etc). Too...

McJobs, haha! Actually, you reminded me of this woman who was 49 years old and working at McDonalds alongside my mom for years. She started getting in shape about two years ago and about six months ago, she enlisted and is now finished basic training and is in her studies for her new job as...

As someone who has two degrees (history & education), I'd like to say that at least you have that math base that is keeping me from many NCM jobs. I prefer the hands-on as you do, as opposed to the paper-pushing. I've done 12 years of paper-pushing which is why I'm (at this point) turning down a...

TFLY, Yeppers, a graduation and everything! You work hard for three weeks learning drill... you work hard at figuring out what you want to do... you work hard at maintaining your uniform! And you work hard at your discipline in all aspects! Why the heck wouldn't you be deserving of a parade :D...

TFLY - You won't be allowed to mix with other people until about the time of your graduation, unfortunately! (it's for good reasons, I promise!) But I also promise you that on grad day? I'll come down and sit in the bench and cheer ya on!  Then afterwards, I think we're allowed to hang out...

Someone is obviously pretty mentally ill, wouldn't you say????

Zack, finish up your school year and join in the summer when you're done. It's only what? 4 or 5 months max? With the waiting time, you probably won't get in before then anyways, would you? Make the best of your time my friend!

ADHD diagnoses? Who actually said you were? I think you could probably go to a psychologist/psychiatrist and get a PROPER ADHD test done. You're part of the generation that it was a label just thrown onto any kid who didn't conform by sitting quietly in a chair. Most boys don't sit quietly in...
