Got a job offer from the military! Have been waiting for over a year and a half - took so long because I'm joining as an officer.
Trade is going to be a logistics officer in the navy. I'm so fucking pumped. Sweet thing about this trade is that it actually utilizes my business degree, and after the first few years LOG officers don't get deployed around nearly as much as other trades. Another sweet thing about the navy is I'll be posted on either the East or the West coast - my decision. British Columbia is ridiculously beautiful, but my family is on the East coast - so I'll most likely pick there. Much better than getting posted around every 2-4 years as I would have been in the Air Force. Army? Would honestly have refused a job offer in that element.
Getting sworn in on January, then off to boot camp for 14 weeks at a place just SE of Montreal (North of Pittsburgh). Gonna be cold as balls, but I don't care, I'd go to the Arctic for boot camp at this point.
Other news. Got a new place, living on my own for the first time ever. It has it's ups and downs. I like living with people (provided they're not dumbshits), but I also feel like I have my own 'lair' now. Working odd contract jobs to pay the bills.
Poker's going well. Cashing out everything over $650 at the moment. Nice way to pad the income and pay for unexpected shit - like a tooth I broke on Sunday... fuuuck. I can't wait to have benefits for all that health crap. Paying full dental bills is for the birds.
Man! I'm elated guys. I know a lot of people think military is a shit job, but Canadian military is actually a kick ass gig. Good pay, complete job security, no war, tons of vacation, ridiculous amounts of time off for sports (time to get into hockey and baseball again, yeahhhh!!), and they'll pay for any additional education that I want which I'm totally gonna utilize.
Anyways, just felt like sharing.
Cheers fellas

I see a complete failure to mention your training as an F-18 pilot. Please elaborate on how you will be taking this next and obvious path. |

I usually feel disgust towards anything army related, but logistics officer is actually a pretty nice spot plus you can always switch to anything else logistics related next |

Thanks for the kind words guys!
@dna - nah, you're thinking of the army. Closest I'll get to 'combat' is probably the straits of Hormuz. Carrying around a gun? pffft, who does that.
@trax - we actually prefer riding giant beavers
@newb - haha, I miss you dirty americans 
@rande - idiot, shows what you know. It's clearly mooseys. |

congrats sir!
I seem to enjoy a big majority of your posts for some reason and you should definitely keep posting on LP when you actually start your new job. It would be interesting to see some of the stuff you're going to be doing.
Find it pretty admirable that you're choosing to work in that particular field and I've often pondered doing something like this but never had the balls to. Best of luck in your future endeavors |

Watch out for the army prowlers, once certain unspeakables hear you are now set in the navy, you will suddenly find yourself with a pregnant girl. |
