Just kidding on the first two 8)

Don't be sure on that  > 

 

[armyvern]

Whew, I was going to say that I hope you were kidding!!

Last time (only time actually) I shared alcoholic beverages and food with Brin, I'm sure she was more of a dirty blonde. There's enough of us wonderful mean girls red-heads in the world already!!  ;D

Just kidding on the first two 8)

Yeh right!  And I figure you're still thinking on the guest list?  Wouldn't want you to strain yourself too much on a weekend.

Here's another one for you to ponder.  If the almighty of the CF called and said they wanted you back, any trade any element, what would your choice be?  And if they called and said they wanted you back but "such-and-such" was the only thing available, what wouldn't you do, no matter what.

 

[Danjanou]

Hey I have been pondering the guest list question which is why I haven't just put up one of my smartass off the cuff comments.

Called back, I think my first choice would be in my old rank/trade/position Infantry. Not sounding my own horn, but I think I was pretty good at training young soldiers and helping develop young NCOs, we need both now. I also don't think I'm too old and over the hill to be a CSM now, pushing it but not here yet. Alternatively perhaps in CIMIC, my civvy skillsets would fit in well there from I understand their role is.

If it was their call I'd have to see what the offer was and if I could do it and wanted to. I'm drawing the line at doing BMQ at my age, especially after probably having to wait a several months or a year for a VFS. They seem to contradict each. If you want to give me credit for something , great, if not then and I'm starting the same as a kid off the street then lets not keep me waiting.

BTW this is not as much a hypothetical idea as you may think. I have given it some serious thought, mostly because of this place.

Yes, I seem to recall you mentioning it a time or two (or fifty :) at meets.  Seriously though, because I can be sometimes, I say go for it.  Your heart and head are in the right place.  Although I never knew you professionally (that doesn't sound good! lol), I think the military would only benefit from having you rejoin. (and if that sucking up doesn't get me an invite on the guest list....)

:rofl: 

Oh.......you were serious. Disregard. Typo. Nothing to see here.   :-[

Depending on the unit, your competency and work ethic may stand in the way  

 

[Danjanou]

Depending on the unit, your competency and work ethic may stand in the way  

A fact I'm well aware of, and one of the main reasons I'm now out of uniform. BTW what took you so long, I figured you would have been on here harrasing me long before we hit page 4.

 

[midget-boyd91]

What (other than the other people) has kept you here at army.ca? And what has been the toughest part of being a member and Mod?

 

[Yrys]

What kept you here?
The chance to reconnect with old friends, meet new ones, the spirited debates and the sheer wealth of information are part of it. I think mainly it's because it has become a real community a part of the all that is good about the military, the taking care of ones own.

What is your favourite aspect of Army.ca?
As I said above the community we've created.

What is your least favourite aspect of Army.ca?
The trolls, and those who just have to argue with the D/S when we're trying to do our jobs here.

I think that answer some of yours questions, midget-boyd...

 

[midget-boyd91]

I think that answer some of yours questions, midget-boyd...

I meant the toughest part other than the people/trolls. Whether it be time management or not wanting to spend this much time online.

 

[daftandbarmy]

Jacking ups…. Me?

There is so many. I do remember standing with heels locked together on the Mattawa as MWO/CSM side by side with my OC while the DCO of the SSF ripped us both a new one.

[/quote]

Were you ever jacked up by your Cadet Corps CO and, if so, was he fully clothed at the time?

 

[armyvern]

Oh my,

I sense a story here!!

>

 

[daftandbarmy]

Not without some serious bribery there isn't!  ;D

 

[armyvern]

Not without some serious bribery there isn't!  ;D

Gimme yours ... and I'll give you one of mine!! 

 

[Danjanou]

I meant the toughest part other than the people/trolls. Whether it be time management or not wanting to spend this much time online.

Actually the time management is not an issue. The nature of my job these days has me sitting in front of a computer for a large part of the day. While I’m not going to say my job is easy or boring, the fact is that there are periods when I’m basically just sitting waiting to react to an issue or crisis. It’s easy to have army.ca up and glance at it. In fact that’s what I’m doing now.

Also I do have insomnia which explains why I’m often on here at night, same thing, watching TV, or surfing other stuff with this open in the background. I do like this place and feel we’ve created something important here, therefore I do not consider this a waste of my time.

 

[Danjanou]

Were you ever jacked up by your Cadet Corps CO and, if so, was he fully clothed at the time?

Gee it took you long enough to figure out who I was old buddy. Can’t say I was ever jacked up by him. Saw him tear into you for abusing us new cadets though, and I believe he was au natural at the time, although he did have his beret on.

 

[daftandbarmy]

Me? Abusing new cadets? I find that hard to believe (and I'll give my lawyer a call just in case someone has an emergent bad memory!).

Apart from the abuse you suffered at the hands of an army cadet NCO who like to spike up the front of his forage cap to make it look like a piece SS headgear, what is your most lasting memory of your time with cadets?

 

[Danjanou]

You mean aside from waking up in the shacks in the Whack one morning and discovering our beloved CO's unique idiosyncrasy as he leaned over by sleeping bag?

 

[marshall sl]

Mods maybe this should go to the Cadet Forum where Kyle can control these two delinquents.
