I sent my application in around October the 15th for the Artillery Reserves... Been waiting ever since, working my ass off writing all these papers trying to get through the application process. About to head down to the recruiting office and switch over to Regs as Infantry now that I've turned 17. Hope the wait to get into BMQ isn't too long.

JUL 1970, when I joined B Coy Alq Regt in Timmins, On.

Really? I was raised in Chapleau, haha.

My enrollement ceremony is on Jan 4, Artillery reserve
