    Chances of getting the job I want

    The other two trades are great options and many in the service, even a few cooks,  would love to be in your boots. That said, you sound as though you would be happier as a cook. An army cook in field is very hard work, and not as you would imagine (working in a bistro). Final point if you are...

    Last time I said that word, I was in the Granade club (Petawawa many years ago) , and had to duck , before a couple of gunners took my head of. They seemed to think it was something bad. Hope they are reading this page. CHIMO!!

    So some of you think its funny(rant)

    Mike; I agree that it can be a pain in your "6". Having read the first post, by Ex-dragoon, perhaps it was the wording "rant " that was missleading. Us old army SSMs have very Small brains at times. apologies you old zipper head (meant in jest) Thank you,

    Strong Point West - Afghanistan

    Thanks for pointing out the site. Some great pics. When I look at what our troops ( like yourself ) are doing overthere today, it makes me realize , that no matter how bad we had it in Kabul (Roto 3), it was a cake walk in comparison. Take care of yourself.

    Roger that, or drop our hair gel. :crybaby: All kidding and sarcasm aside I believe in the concept, and would love to be part of it.  One can only dream . Here is a question for all you "sailors" (not purple sailors either) in the Army elements, do you require to have Combat Engineers, or can...

    Standing Contingency Task Force: A Canadian Marine Unit?

    Trust me my friend I have been keeping up with the times, more then I care too @ times. It was sarcasm on my part. By the time this gets of the ground there will be an new Prime Minister "steering the ship" and this will probably get scraped.  I know they recently did some work on the proof of...

    Standing Contingency Task Force: A Canadian Marine Unit?

    If the Canadian Army goes anywhere by Sea it will be on US ships , much like MARCOT 98, when the Canadian NAVY had no way to transport us and we had to travel on the USS Shreavport.
