[Flesh.Injected]

If there were any members of the canadian armed forces in the barrie area willing to answer some of my questions.. and maybe fill me in on what im in for.. I recently applied and I'm pretty excited about it but there are some grey areas that I am not too sure about.. your time would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah I've managed to locate information through the site that answered many of my questions but I was hoping for some one on one type talk maybe over msn or something. I mean i'll take what I can get.

Well ask away...maybe someone who frequents here and is in Barrie can help you out.

Apology to all for appropriating the following quote.

But to "Mission Statement  "STOP asking what the Military can do for you", "BUT what can you do for the Military".

STOP tippy toe testing of the waters, like do they yell at you, is there a lot of PT, can you get a lot of passes,
are the courses  hard, do I have to live on base.

Your local Recruiter can and will provide you with a clear and sufficient picture of Military Life and what is expected of you.

Either you want a Military career or you don't, and if your decision depends on certain conditions, then its not for you.

Good Luck.

Mission Statement just remember not to worry. The fear of death is worse than death itself.

 

[Flesh.Injected]

When did I say I was worried? Stop making assumptions as if you know what I'm about to ask.  If you aren't from the Barrie area and aren't willing to talk don't bother posting in this.
