Well, for starters, I'm in Army ROTC, none of that junior stuff. The whole process was sort of like actually joining the Army. First you go through a bunch of paperwork, then you're assigned to a unit (I'm in 2nd squad, 1st platoon, of the Patriot Battalion). Then there is the equipment draw, which takes forever. The whole first month was drill and ceremony and navigation. We've just started on battle drills, with a FTX next weekend. We also have PT from 7-8 in the mornings on Mon, Wed, and Fri. Anything else you would like to know?

Well, I guess I could tell you about my story, eh.

Born, grew up, and joined the Navy as an Officer. I'm currently a First Year at the Royal Military College of Canada. Once I get out of RMC, I'll be commissioned as an Acting Sub-Lieutenant and from there I start my career as a Naval Officer.

Here at RMC, life is pretty routine. PT at 6:15, inspections every so often, etc...

Nothing too special.

Sounds like the routine i go through, just different branch of the armed forces and different country. But if i hadn't moved down to the states i would probibly be in the canadian military.
