Hello Troops
Thank you to Admins for the opportunity to peruse these extensive boards, I will browse here regularly since it is the best site I have encountered since my Son enlisted 2 years ago. I have searched the forums for the following, but couldn't find anything relative.
I am wondering about the Per Capita rate of enlisted for the various geographical areas of Canada. We are from a small town in Northwestern Ontario (not sure if detail is permitted) with a population of 3600 at last count. Currently on active duty from here are 13-15 soldiers in various branches of CF, and at least 3 more in Basic Training at this moment, that seems like a high ratio. One of those is rather high rank and could possibly have been an influence for several others to join, simply by having a successful career and being a positive role model. Another unusual stat, currently in theater in Afghanistan there are 3 Armored Crewman from this town, one is my Son, and all 3 drive Leopards. That is a low percentage stat for sure.
I wonder if there are others of you from small towns with high per capita amount of troops. Would like to read some of those stories and what inspired you or set the trend in your town.
I posted in this because of the 3 currently driving tanks, Admin could move it to another forum if req'd.
Thank You
