Not yet.  I'll have some pics once I get back to Canada.

Apart from checking out 'yummies' at the local pool, currently I'm fighting alititude sickness at 3820 m at Lake Titicaca in Peru. 

Holy hannah, I just played that game for 45 min straight.  I hardly blinked.

Slacking off at work. Currently I work the reception desk at a medical clinic and when it gets slow, it gets SUPER boring.  So I occasionally come on here to get updates...and remind myself of what I am leaving this job and drab routine for.  It's going to be SO worth it.

Yeah.....in Calgary it's about -10, and at my place there's about 7 cm of snow....last Sunday around +20 C or so.  Good old Canadian weather...or Calgarian, rather.  FRICK! (and we thought spring was here...)

For some reason, the thought of dying in combat does not turn me off joining the military at all.  In fact, I think it is one of the most honourable ways to die.  Personally, I would rather give my life for my country than die without a reason.  We are all going to go someday; some of us may die...

Haha, I know I probably have an inaccurate idea since I have not yet experienced it, but that is what I hope for and what I will strive for.  I will give my best because that's what I want the team I am a part of to be.  A team is only as strong as it's weakest member and I hope to be there to...

Wow, it really sounds like the expereince of a lifetime!  I am really looking forward to when I can create my own memories and have experiences of my own.

As I have been reading through many posts and comments, I have gotten the sense that the experience of most people who have served with the Canadian Forces has been positive, more or less.  I am just wondering if this is actually the case or simply what I have chosen to view it as.  So, I am...

I was originally looking into paramedics when the military thing came up... so there was no doubt that I would be involved in the military in the medical aspect.  As for joining the army, so many things appealed to me about it.  The lifestyle and benefits, the focus on fitness, travel...

Yo, I have a question for all the women who have been on tour with the military...what the heck do you do when you are on your rag? It's inconvenient enough when you're at home and have all the comforts of easily accessible facilities... but what about when you're out in the field with a bunch...

From a recruiter I talked to

Just a question:  I applied for medtech so I was wondering if anyone knows approximately how man positions are currently available?  Last time I heard (back in November) there wre about 70.  I am just curious to see what sort of demand there is for medtechs.  I was also told that most get...

I really wouldn't go so far as to say that the opinion of the civies is more important.  We (military members) are also citizens of the same country.  The military is a government organization.  The citizens elected the government.  And the military answers to the government, not to the general...

I think this subject is being dragged out quite a bit...I think there is a lot of confusion about what the military does and what the country needs it for.  Having a military is power, even if it is not used extensively.  The fact that we would be able to defend ourselves against an attack is...

On the same line of the previous posts, I think that one of the most appalling ignorant attitudes of many Canadians today is anti-americanism in general.  We need to keep in mind that without the States as our main trading partner and ally, Canada wouldn't exist the way we do.  Anti-americanism...

A few reasons (among many) that I decided to join: -A sense of working for something greater than myself -my country, our future -To help people in a practical way and to help my fellow comrades (I will be a medtech) -To learn awesome new skills -The unknown aspect- where I'll go or what...

I guess it depends what job they offered.  I've always known I'd be in the medical profession in some way, I might just have to tackle it from a different angle...put in some time, apply for something else....maybe go back to school and finish a degree.  Take it as it comes.  I wouldn't...

Yeah, well noted...I guess since that was the position they have already offered me I assumed that's what they'll want me for later on.  But I should be prepared in case they offer me something else

I can't tell you how stoked I am.  This whole experience has just made me even more firm in the decision I've made.  There is no doubt in my mind that this is what I am meant to do
