Well, I see Good2Golf is leading by example again so I guess I'll giddy-up and go with it!!
What brought you to Army.ca?
Undoubtedly, a clothing question I ran across while surfing the net during one of my many hours of insomnia.
What kept you here?
The people, the camaraderie, and the clothing questions, which never seem to stop.
What made you consider becoming a Staff member here?
I was asked. Figured what the heck, I'm up anyway!!
If you were CDS, what's the first thing you'd do?
Deploy me on another tour!!
What is your favourite aspect of Army.ca?
It's usefulness. The camaraderie, the humor (and lack of it sometimes!), and it's ability to remain dedicated to professionalism.
What is your least favourite aspect of Army.ca?
The disrespect which is sometimes shown by members towards other trades, environments, countries and cultures.
What do/did you enjoy most about the military lifestyle?
Everything. The moving, the operations, the fellowship, the professionalism displayed by soldiers and most of all, the lifelong friends. There truly is "no life like it."
What do/did you enjoy least?
Coming across someone who joined the CF as a job, with no intent to deploy, who doesn't seem to realize that it's a lifestyle, not a job.
What is your favourite war movie or scene?
The Longest Day. Absolutely.
What book are you currently reading?
"Public Executions" as it contains material related to my great grandfather(to the nth power), Edward Wightman, who was the last man executed by being burned at the stake (for heresy, 1612) in England.1
What is your favourite quote?
A very wise man once told me, "Patience dear, it is a virtue you know."
What is your favourite kind of music or favourite band?
None really, I've got everything from Bach, to Rammstein to Muddy Waters on my MP3 player.
What is your favorite drink? (E.G. Coffee, Tea, Beer, other...?)
Well an Extra Large Black from Timmies will do it every time, followed closely by tequila.
What do you do on your free time (other than Army.ca, of course)?
I am a Scout leader, life guard and insomniac. I'm learning how to work my digi-cam quite well and I read...a lot!!
What do you do in the military?
I have 19 years in the military (as of 12 Jan 07) and am a Supply Tech. I have been posted to Halifax, Petawawa, Gagetown (twice), Trenton and Charlottetown. I have a few tours, and quite few taskings and wear the Army uniform.
Are you married?
Yes, to an RCR.
Do you have any children?
Yes - One son who will soon be 1314, and a daughter who just turned 12.
Do you have any pets?
1 dog, 3 cats, many goldfish. Although they all live with my husband and children right now as we are not posted together.
What's the most memorable thing you have done or seen?
This is top secret. Those in my trade are probably aware of my most memorable 'moment.' ;D
Describe one thing you believe Army.ca visitors should know about you.
I try to be as helpful as I can on matters relating to Supply and am a very proud soldier, Supply Tech and Canadian. I strongly believe that all trades and environments are critical to the success of the Canadian Forces and that only by respecting all members of this great Team can we prosper.
