Are you an Army.ca addict?

[CADPAT SOLDIER]

Well your right in the sense that you have to work your ass off, but if your a good student you can pull it off, get honors and manage to have a life.
Your forced to do volunteer work for your diploma.
It gets difficult but most people I now manage to do the IB thing volunteer, work and have a Hobby.
Then there's the other 50% of IB that get washed out, and in my division sent back to there catchment schools.

At my school its more like 80% attretion before start of grade 12. And IB math.......95% after grade 9!

That happens anywhere.

Also,  I doubt its because I couldn't hack it.  I have other commitments which mean I don't have the time I would like to have.

I
-Moderate here
-Do cadets
-Work with schools in my area for Guidance sessions
-Help with Kids Help Phone awareness in my local schools

I'm sure I would never be able to "hack" it. :

Gee..for never having met me, and knowing nothing beyond my blue haired avatar and a staff badge, you sure seem to know a lot about what I do with my free time :

Also, I was advised against going for IB by 3 of my teachers for different reasons.  None of which being I couldn't hack it.

True....but IB requires something like an addditional 300 hours on top of the regular 40.

 

[Burrows]

I think its more Creativity and Art hours or something.  You're expected to produce some amazing stuff I think.

 

[condor888000]

Yes it is, CAS hours are what is required. Community, Active, Service hours. My buddies hate the mere idea of CAS now........

 

[Cpl.Banks]

150 hours of CAS, 50-volunteer 50-sports and physical activity 50-arts and creativity...luckily for me planning my lessons for Cadets counts ;D
Defiantly hate physics 12 I.B. and math with honors, and I hate math! Anybody else in the I.B. and hating it?
UBIQUE!!!

P.S. I have a life and yet still manage 4's and 5's in most classes...(4=70-79, 5=80-89) except for stupid math...

So Mike goes off line around 1130 hrs and comes back on around 1539 hrs, after successfully installing a larger hard drive and the floodgates are open.  Over 90 members and new members laying in wait.  Now don't tell me any of you are not addicted to Army.ca!

 

[Pieman]

Now don't tell me any of you are not addicted to Army.ca!

I am still in denial.

 

[geo]

Addicted?
Me?
Naw!.... I don't think so ?!?!
Am I?
Now you're making me worry!

[Kat Stevens]

I'm not an addict, I can quit any time I want. Other people are addicts, not me.....

 

[winchable]

Oh I totally know what you mean, whenever I get offline I come back because I want to not because I have to...


Although during the outage this afternoon I developed a twitch and attacked a group of school children with a piece of sheet metal and a cactus on a stick.

[boots]

I've only been here for two weeks and I am already up to 11 messages and 17 hours... hmm

The number of threads I am trying to read/follow is growing at an alarming rate

 

[MeatheadMick]

Um, i actually just registered for an account but i've been here a long time. I actually only signed up because i was reading things up on Signal ops, and i saw someone posting about how he thought coffee was the liquid of the gods. I laughed and was telling my friend Bruno that is addicted to the shit about it, he laughed and said it was him that posted it... lol small world

 

[MeatheadMick]

The Army.ca Monkey is too strong for some.  Their addiction to the site is so great that they just can't get enough and must come back time and time again, never happy to be lurkers, but have to be a member so that they can post, even if they have been BANNED, put on WARNING, or been outed.  They have become addicts and MUST come on and post....it just has to be......a post; their kingdom for a post.......Well, it does keep the site interesting and active.  Lots of interesting info to be found or discussed.  Lots of hours down range.  Greaat Isn't It!  Feel the Rush!
