ROFL....

one of army.ca's apocolypse prophecies has been fullfilled...

I'm in the process of re-enrolling into 1NSH. Thought about becoming a medic again (since I'm a paramedic in civi life), but changed my mind and went Infantry instead. It's a good unit though?

 

[Scott]

Good unit, good people, good times. I take it you're joining in Pictou?

 

[nsmedicman]

Yep....joining in Pictou.....Authie Coy I believe....correct me if I'm wrong. At least that is where I hope to end up.

 

[jmackenzie_15]

Yes , it is authie, and it is where you will end up if youre from the area. If youre from the truro area, you will go to Charlie, and Springhill = vimy, etc.

Were you in the unit before? Your profile says 4 years reserve, was that infantry or another trade?

 

[Scott]

So Truro is still Charlie, eh? Or back to Charlie from the other incarnations (7Pl, 3Pl, Calais, etc)









Hollywood 8)

 

[jmackenzie_15]

lol nope.... still just vimy charlie and authie.

The numbers are up from when I got in 2.5 years ago though... maybe 20%. All of them privates.

 

[nsmedicman]

To Mack674:


I was in the Reserve in the late 80's early 90's (Med A) then went REG....injured in basic @ Cornwallis.....came home.

Joined again in 2001 (Med A)....then left in 2003 when I transferred through my civi employment. Tried to transfer then....but they weren't exactly sure what to with me, being a Med A transferring to an infantry unit. So I waited until now to try again as an infanteer. I must be out of my mind (I'm 35 years old!!!). I have really been missing it. Less travel and such with the local unit; instead of the Fd AMb in Halifax..........

 

[jmackenzie_15]

No way pal... I did my QL3/BIQ with a guy that was 49. Didnt slow him down very much.
And if you want my opinion, we could use a guy like you in our company specifically. Most of the experienced guys are getting out, gone, on callout... by february we wont have any master corporals, like 4 corporals including myself, and an army of privates who just finished course 4 months ago who are from 16-19 years old.

Maybe you can contribute to some badly needed first aid training  ;D. We havn't had any in quite some time... not since I first got in 2.5 years ago...

Anyway, anybody coming in thats over the minimum age, isnt going anywhere right away, and has previous military experience sounds good to me  ;D

Heres hoping you get a quick and painless acceptance.

 

[nsmedicman]

Thanks for the vote of confidence....hopefully I can live up to your expectations ;D.

 

[jmackenzie_15]

lol youll fit in fine.

any word on when you might actually get sworn in? how far along in your application are you ?

 

[nsmedicman]

Anytime between a week and a lifetime. They're trying to rush things along, but things are in the hands of the paper-pushers right now. With Xmas coming up, I can't see anything happening until mid-January at the very least.

 

[Scott]

lol nope.... still just vimy charlie and authie.

The numbers are up from when I got in 2.5 years ago though... maybe 20%. All of them privates.

I've heard about the numbers, that's great, it must sure beat the nights we paraded with 15 guys!!

 

[jmackenzie_15]

lol yeah, its not too bad.... charlie has the most for now with almost 2 platoons worth! 

 

[Scott]

WOW! That's great, sure wish the unit would get off its arse and get a website going, though, I like to stay updated on the happenings but can only do it with some of my old buddies through e-mail, glad to see more guys coming around here.

 

[jmackenzie_15]

I was thinking about putting that proposal forward to get a webpage put together,.... would help alot with recruiting, and alot of guys have pictures and things we could upload.

If only i remembered half of the things about html that I forgot, I could do it. Oh well, ill send up a memo after christmas.
