Wow, I hope we haven't all lost our sense of humor, thought my last post would at least get a chuckle.Humor..tends to alleviate stress when appropriate.Anyways, those leaving this coming weekend see you there.

Or ...since we have all been working on our running anyways, we could have the driver stop 1-2 km away from the base and when hes not looking everyone make a break for it.The slowest guy who gets caught has to pay. ;D But really...im willing to pitch in to help out with the fare.

Lmao..its perfectly normal to feel some anxiety about the unknown.I am excited,nervous,anxious, all good though.I have been waiting for this for awhile so a little anxious to get going.

The "footage" looks to be from the game America's Army.Free to download off the net.

Fellow  armoured crewman nice! My start date is next Sat.

I will be on train 84 at 9:50 from Guelph to Toronto.Then train 60 from there to Montreal..comfort class! I board that last rain around 11:30.

I don't recall the exact number, but it was under 10..I believe 8 or so.However I only have heard of 3-4 of us taking the train.Nothing to really worry about I guess, I just wanted to put that out there so we can be aware of the issue, and not get there standing around waiting for a ride that...

They let me know at the DND that once we arrive if there is not enough of us for a "military transport" to pick us up we will be required to take a cab, she quoted me a price of $100.00 which will be reimbursed at a later time.

Congrats fellas, see you on course! For those of us who are taking the train from London,Windsor area,I learned the other day that once we arrive,if there is not enough of us for a military transport to pick us up at the train station,we will have to take a cab which is around $100.00.So I guess...

Agreed, great show regardless of "targeted US audience" Presentation is done really well.I enjoy how they give you a quick lead up to the actual battle then say "Now your in the cockpit" The first hand accounts with the original pilots is a nice touch.Who better to explain exactly what happened...

When you initially sign the contract,I was offered armored crewman which is 5 yrs,is there any incentive to just go ahead and sign for another 5 yrs? I am looking to make  a  career out of the forces anyways..so was just wondering?

I am also taking a train,but from Guelph,which is about 1hr west of Toronto.

Congrats Neko...see you guys on course i guess.Lets keep in touch..it would be nice to know a few people before we get there.We may just be in the same platoon..who knows.PM me if you like.

Hey Congrats.I also just got my job offer for armoured soilder(crewman) I will also be in St.Jean for August 6th..my birthday actually,could not have asked for a better gift..lol.And i was told i will be taking a train there.

Mud recce...good advice and will follow through with that asap..thx for the input
