Well, been putting it off for long enough now....so here it goes.
Screen name: Nerf Herder
What brought you to Army.ca?
A friend pointed me to the site years ago and I've been here ever since.
What kept you here?
The members that regularly post here. Lots of good information and topics to get updated on....also the more insightful debates that are common here as well.
What made you consider becoming a Staff member here?
After being a member here in good standing for a while (read a couple of years) I figured I'd like the opportunity to help out on the admin side of things and contribute to the site in a more proactive way.
If you were CDS, what's the first thing you'd do?
Thank the troops for all their hard work, regardless of trade and element.
Then go and buy a Regiments worth of Leo 2 A6
What is your favourite aspect of Army.ca?
The ability to keep abreast of current goings on in the CF in a casual manner, devoid of the BS that normally comes into play at work. IE: no rank usage.
What is your least favourite aspect of Army.ca?
Trolls and posers. They try soooo hard and yet get called out on it, then punted.
What do/did you enjoy most about the military lifestyle?
The lifestyle as a whole and the fact that the gov't gives me a multimillion dollar AFV to go and shoot things up with.
What do/did you enjoy least?
Policies which are now archaic, mentioned by others before.
What is your favourite war movie or scene?
The Beast....the opening scene mit ze panzer's.
What book are you currently reading?
The Hiram Key
What is your favourite quote?
Oh yes, everyone is always in favor of saving Hitler's brain, but the moment you put it in the body of a Great White shark all of a sudden you've gone too far!
- Professor Hubert Farnsworth
What is your favourite kind of music or favourite band?
Almost anything, from R&B to Metal to Pink Floyd and everything in between. I'll pass on country though
What is your favorite drink? (E.G. Coffee, Tea, Beer, other...?)
XL 3 & 3 from Tim's, Boddington's, Kilkiny, Guinness, Stella Artois, Keith's, Moosehead Premium Dry....and then there is Scotch.
What do you do on your free time (other than Army.ca, of course)?
Volunteer with cadets, restore old military vehicles to operating condition, fishing, long distance running.
Are you married?
Yes, 19 years in August
Do you have any children?
Nope....not responsible enough.
* scratch that....have two now.
Do you have any pets?
One cat.
* scratch that.....no more cat.
What's the most memorable thing you have done or seen?
Made it home from Kandahar.....twice.
Describe one thing you believe Army.ca visitors should know about you.
Hate posers and wannabes. If you want it that bad, just join. I am still enjoying my career after almost 24 years in so it can't be that bad. I told my Frau that if there ever comes a week when I can't say that I haven't learned something or have stopped having fun I'll get out...
I'm still here.
How old are you?
41
So there it is in a nutshell. I've put it off for long enough now and have a bit of spare time to answer any questions that you, the members, want to ask.
Fire away.
Regards
