Title. So i'm thinking of joining the Canadian Military. Also, "OMg ur gonna get shawt lol" are hereby irrelevant, as I don't want to be an the infantry, just an engineer or something. Postal Officer, Sonar Operator, and Vehicle Technician all look good right now. So, questions, comments, no opinions plz. inb4 "lol im in the speshel forces green berayz and navy seals and i got shot like over 9000 times and ur gona die lol" and "BUT A PLANE COULD HAVE A SLIGHT ENGINE MALFUNCTION WHICH WOULD CAUSE SOME TURBULANCE WHICH WOULD CAUSE AN OLD GUY TO HAVE A SEIZURE AND MAKE PPLZ PANIC AND THE PILOT COULD CRASH AND KILL UUUUUUU" comments. tl;dr i'm gonna join the military but im not sure. WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING TO ALL THE TEXT?
I always thought it would be interesting to serve, but I would definitely not want to be on the front lines either!
How the fuck you could have messed up sections? Are you using a proxy?
Haha! Its funny cause Canada doesn't have a military. [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/iqvgad.png[/IMG] [QUOTE=Pandamobile;19872608]Canada's military is roughly the same size per person as America's. The Canadian forces has about 100,000 active members and reserves, and the United States Army has about 1,000,000. Considering America's population is 10x that of Canada, and the armed forces are 10x that of Canada's, they make up roughly the same volume of population :)[/QUOTE] Canada has 60,000 active troops and 20,000 in reverses while the US has 1,454,515 active and 848,000 in reserves.
hahaha NO

They make jobs sound so amazing with no qualifications. A fucking ammunition specialist. Gunner high velocity missle etc. Walmart badge anyone?
I think it would be the coolest thing to join the military. I've always wanted to, but never wanted to die.. haha. It's my love for war movies and call of duty that drives me to want to be in the marines. But I'll probably never do it.
good for you

You will get used to the "LOL UR GONNA DIE" comments. I mean fuck, last year I was talking to my classmates about how I wanted to be an Air Force pilot when all of the sudden the fucking Muslim sub came over and started telling me how I was gonna get shot down until I reminded her that if anything I would be bombing her 3rd world insurgent cousins who no way in hell could shoot a jet going 700 miles per hour down.
Why would you not want opinions? I'll ask a question just to be safe. My Canadian cousin said the West Edmonton mall has more submarines than the Canadian military, is that true?

Honestly, why do people bother to post here *cough*theonlyhunter*cough* if they can't fucking say things that contribute to the conversation? Bollocks.

They used to use them for underwater tours n shit, but they're just sitting in the water behind Booster Juice and whatever that Cinnamon place is, over by the HMV and Silvercity. :buddy:
Dude you're not gonna get shot in the CANADIAN military.

I commend you for your will to serve, Im enlisting in the U.S. Navy this year when I turn 17. As far as "ZoMg jU wIlL dIe aNd Te MiLarTrz iZ bAd" Im really apathetic towards life and want to serve more than anything.
I really want to join and go for sniper training. But I don't wanna die. I just wanna shoot the sweet sniper rifles at stuff and crawl around in ghilie suits.
[QUOTE=Dyson6;19872889]Dude you're not gonna get shot in the CANADIAN military.[/QUOTE] Canada has had 132 casualties in afghanistan. Shut your fucking mouth please. Disrespectful ass hole.

So unless you want to get shot, no. Missions can be like demolitions, sabatoge, sniping, etc.

[QUOTE=EurofanBMW;19872925]Canada has had 132 casualties in afghanistan. Just your fucking mouth please. Disrespectful ass hole.[/QUOTE] What? Did a plane full of Canadians crash there or something?
Everyone say farewell to TheOnlyHunter. He'll probably be an engineer, but he'll be stationed on the front lines operating on tanks and stuff. :unsmigghh:
No, some old guy had a heart attack. So you probably have to sit through some long-ass speech about Grandpa Bill while you could be helping the war. The sad part is, this is probably true.
[QUOTE=Dyson6;19872955]What?

You obviously dont know shit abut what it's like to serve so just shut your fucking mouth.
