Got sick of searching for a job, and only finding shiznit pay ones when I do get them.
Been talking about doing this for along time, and after me and the GF watched a few videos on the net about it lastnight, I decided to go for it again. So I went and enlisted in the Army today. gotta fill out the forms and drop them off tuesday. cant wait to get to Basic. I went through basic back in '00 but got out of it due to family issues at home. Missed it ever since.
Buddy just got his bonus from the Navy. On reserve right now, could ship out 6-12 months but until then he is set. They pay for everything while your there, send your pay home, looks like you got a good plan.
Hope you enjoy it and everything works out.
Congrats on the enlistment...where are they sending you for basic? Ft. Jackson?
Hahaha, guess I should have added the Country.. Canada. I will be going to C.F.L.R.S in St Jean, Quebec.
lol....i'm a dumbass....i should have noticed your location but being prior military myself i just assumed Ft. Jackson.
Congrats to you !!!! I'm proud I did it.It'll be something to be proud of for the rest of your life.
Congrats! We down here in the US might tease you all a bit, but you guys are really ed fine neighbors. Good luck with it, something to be proud of for sure!
Shiny Side Up!

Congrats. You'll have to let us know when they assign you your bullet :hick:
Joking apart, I'm happy for you. I'm currently going through some matamorphosis myself right now, with a big change nearing completion, another big change in life's direction coming very soon, and another even bigger change coming a year or so down the road (some board members already know about it, I'll post a thread about it soon)
Congrats and good luck! I'd tell ya to cut the mullet before going there, but this ain't 1989. :) :mullet:
Congrats!!! :hick:

they charge ya $10 to run the electric razor over your head weather it is shaved or not. My head is shaved.
I rocked my mullet until the haircut in basic. That was 1996....
What trade did you pick? If your a welder now , I would guess it would be a piece of cake to be a MAT Tech , I heard they pay a bonus if your already a journeymen. I got laid off from my heavy equipment job in may after 9 years. I did 3 years infantry back in they day. If i was younger i would probobly go back.
Im going in for MOC 031, Infantry. But from what I have read on their forums, they wont be hiring Infantry til April. Which really sucks.
LOL, mine was 1989. Spend a Summer in Ft. Benning, and you wish you had no hair anyway, lol.
So...the Canadian Army actually does stuff?
Not in our history books!
Of course not, you guys are too embarrassed to admit the mistakes that we have had to bail your asses out of.:nutkick::slap:.. you guys still havent learned from them either:poke:. LOL
Which also explains why you guys are considered so arrogant, ignorant and pen 15y by the rest of the world. Dont worry, your friendly neighbours to the north will always be here to quitely bail your country out again as always. :) :canada:
canadians....:D
That all sounded like gibberish. We arent pen 15y.... This is America, we are the best country in the world. Thats why you guys are always safe, we intimidate the world. We dont make mistakes, everything we do is planned and for a reason. Well atleast thats what the politicians tell me.....
All in good fun.
DVP, thanks for the laughs, I was laughing so had at all of that, that I almost peed myself.... That was great.
Success
Well I gotta go oppress the International students now...
