Military - November 17, 2012

One of Canada’s greatest prides is her armed forces.  The men, and women who sacrifice their time, effort, and sometimes lives are a great inspiration to us Canadians.  They give of themselves wholeheartedly and we must admire their strength, and courage, supporting them at all times.  My interest in commending, and supporting our troops was initially engaged by a close friend, and classmate of mine.  One day, Theo A. and I were conversing on future career paths, and that is when he unravelled his dream of joining the military. 

The armed forces provide amazing opportunities to youth.  They give one the chance of a fully paid college or university education, and then afterwards a fully paid job.  The army develops your fitness, discipline, and endurance.  Also, one doesn’t have to always fight…there is a lot of free time, as well as placement opportunities with the corps of engineers.  So if one is ever in need, the armed forces are ready, willing, and waiting.
