Thanks rocker!  Good luck with your application! That phone call is amazing! The best I ever had!  ;D :cdn:

Hi folks I'M IN!! Got the call from CFRC Ottawa today.  I was made an offer I just couldn't refuse! Off to basic in St-Jean 6 November 2006! Swearing in ceremony 20 October 2006 They granted me my choice of regiment, I will be posted with The RCR I am so happy right now, it's surreal  :) :cdn:

And being part of the CF is something worth waiting for!  :cdn:

I contacted the CFRC this week and I was informed that I am now merit listed!  :) Now, if only someone could make me an offer I can't refuse!

And I'll be the civy wearing red and looking lost!

I was on the Hill for the rally.  It was amazing! I absolutely loved PM Harper's speech.  " WE do not start fights but we finish them, and we never leave before our work is done"  That is an awesome line, the crowd went wild when PM Harper said that!  And yes, the crowd booed when they...

Lieutenants Pump on Elgin, sounds like a plan.

I for one will not miss this event!  See you on the hill!

Mmmmm Beer!!  :cheers:

I've seen both ads, love 'em!!  If I weren't already half way through the recruitment process, I would go and sign up today! LOL

I just saw PM Harper's address (Couldn't catch it live yesterday).  Although he did make some good points, it fell short in many ways.  It's been mentioned earlier in this topic, he didn't show enough passion and conviction.  It was a great opportunity for him to drum up support for the mission...

I have just heard on Radio-Canada that PM Harper will make a statement on Monday about 9/11.  I sure hope he will take a few minutes to explain the mission in the sandbox and make the link to 9/11.  It is a great opportunity to educate the sheeple of this country.

If you don't mind having a civy around, I'd love to have a few beers with you guys.

Well folks, here's my attempt at translating Christine's letter.  Please keep in mind, even though French is my first language... it never was a strong subject for me in school!  ;) Your tears are not in vain... St-Pierre, Christine This week while seeing your tears flowing down your faces on...

Ok guys, here's the letter as it was published in La Presse. It is reproduced here under the fair dealings legal blurb. I will work on translating it and post the English version when it is ready.  If anyone wants to help out with the translation, please pm me. La Presse Forum, jeudi 7...

Der Untergang (The Downfall) Really good movie about Hitler's last days.  Definitely worth a look. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363163/  Band of Brothers has got to be my favourite so far.

I spent a good part of the day at the CFRC today.  Did the CFAT, qualified for the three trades that I had selected and a bunch more. I also did the medical exam.  Since I had surgery last March for Compartment Syndrome, I need to get a few forms filled out by my Doctor... and it's just my...
