I've come to a decision. I'll be enlisting in the Arms forces. At this point the debate is over Army or AirForce. I've come to this decision knowing, jobs are very hard to find at my age. Post-Secondary education is expensive and student debt takes years to pay-off. I've been researching this for the last year and a half and the arms forces seems to be whats calling my name.
Not only will it subsidize my education( Pay for It). It offers amazing athletic oppourtunities and funds it's many athletes. sports is an integral part of the Canadian forces and sports is a huge part of my life. Knowing that my atheletic endevours will be funded and even encouraged is amazing.
The Question left as you know is Army or Air Force. The Air Force offers the exhileration and the chance to fly fighters jets, Copters and run search and rescue missions. The Army...being the oldest element with in the arms forces. That alone holds prestege. However being a pilot isn't something everyone can do in the Air Force. My vision might stand in my way, it isn't 20/20 in each eye. I'm Far Sighted in one, near in the other.
However thier is a position with in the arms forces, which I'm very interested in. The position is entitled " Imagery Technition". They provide all forms of media for all elements Air, Navy and army. This includes..filming, video, photography. Your also trained as a basic soldier. Then you specialize. The forces also encourage further career developement. So I may be an Image tech, But I can also branch into communications, enginering and so on. Heck I could even cook.
I'm going to be doing some heavier research. These coming weeks. Starting with requesting more information via mail. Droping into our recruiting offices and so on.
Once I'm in....this Blog will under go a drastic shift in terms of content. However I promise it will still be fun and I'll still be a Smart Ass. Just a Smart Ass with a title.
...........
You'll get to see me in Uniform. In both formal dress and combats. LOL just don't make me your next poster boy. Don't Ask, Don't Tell only goes so far.

Well at least your not in the US otherwise I'd say you were insane. Your going in for all the right reasons. I just don't want to see you going off to the far side of the world to fight some stupid ass war that makes no sense to lose your life over that's all.
Maybe you could fly the drones. That seems to be the future of air strikes and combat in the foreseeable future.
I aint flyin no dumb ass drones Stanzie. I mean those are for guys brought up on video games and red bull.
Canadian's fight, except we are specialists and peace keepers. If I get shipped to the far side of the world. It's by choice.
Besides....I'm aiming for full-time reserves force. Ither Army or Air reserve.
Stanzie...you'd call me insane anyways. I probably would of ended up going in.
I love the whole serving my country and I want to have no regrets. I think if I didn't consider joining. Which right now I'm set on doing. I'd probably end up regreting it.
I have friends in the forces and it offers a bond with a tight unit of friends. Not to mention structure and routine. Which is something I strive on.
If this is what you want then go for it,Dill.I`ve been in the army for a year(2008).The military service was still obligatory here but since we joined NATO a few years ago it isn`t anymore.However I don`t regret it.
And Dill I`m short sighted but that didn`t prevent me from hitting the far targets with machine gun and automat Kalashnikov every time we had shooting exercises.;)
Whatever you decide we`ll support you.
Kalashnikov ( AK 47s) are a solid pieace.
It's something I'm veary heavily leaning into.
I'm worried about basic however. The Fit test would be interesting. Being an asthmatic I've never ran the 1.5 in the alotted excellent range.
It's a heavy possibility. Unless some other door miraculously opens.
Althohugh I'm still debating over Air or Army.
I wouldn't be making a cement decision til the summer.
Hey...email me off list. :) binojo2@yahoo.com
