    Default Today's the day

    At 6pm I will be sworn in as a 2nd lieutenant in the army reserve. Then July 2 it's off to basic training followed by platoon leader training at a later date, as yet TBD.

    So, wish me luck. I'm probably going to need it, as I think I may well be the oldest 2nd john in the Canadian army.

    Good luck, Goof. You may be an officer, but I really don't know about a "gentleman" ...

    Best of luck. Do not expect anything being given, I recently became the equivalent of a lieutenant and it is hard. You are responsible for the lives of your group, but your people usually come through for you. Always trust your people.

    Crap. Just saw this. Outstanding! *applause* The Cannuks need all the good officers they can get (just as any service).


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.
