Well, I'm hoping my exams went well, but I can never tell. I'm good at BSing my way through it though I had to write 2 pages on what socialization was Pretty boring stuff.

Well, doubt I'll dress up for Halloween because I have no idea what to go as. I don't have that much stuff here and with the cost of plane tickets to go home I doubt I'll be buying much of anything anytime soon. I bought my plane ticket early but there still almost wasn't room for me on the flight. I only get to go home on the 22nd We have to wait and see who failed their exams and have to come back early after x-mas My mind is numb from studying Man, I hate math....

Well good luck, I hope you did well. Looks like I'm going to be out of luck in the costume department, too.

So what are your plans for the weekend?

I guess they might be sending us out to the field tonight even though they haven't told us officially yet. I guess it's punishment. Probably because everyone's marks are so low here.

Ouch. Well have fun anyway. So what does being sent to "the field" entail for you all?

About the weekend, we have a few parties set up, nothing set in stone yet though. You make any progress with your plans yet?

Well, if we have to go out all of us do, but I don't think it's going to happen, probably just a rumour. I'm thinking about going out somewhere this weekend but I'm in a province that's mostly french ( ) so I don't think it'd be all that fun (not that I have anything against French people). The bars here aren't all that great either and some don't even leave military people in which sucks because all my friends here are in the military. Was nice today though because we got to wear civvies to school instead of our dress uniforms

Wait, so you have bars that won't allow military personnel in? That's just a bit tore up, I'm surprised your government allows that. I don't know if it's actually against the law here, either, but you can bet your last dollar if someone tried it they'd have a half dozen lawsuits on their hands in a heartbeat (yeah, my country is a little sue-happy sometimes ).

Yeah, I guess sometimes military personnel have gotten in fights so there's only a bar or two that leaves us in. It doesn't really matter for me though cuz I'm a girl and they can't tell I' military, especially since I have superlong hair, it's not like I've got my head shaved like the rest of the guys

Might go to Montreal this weekend and 12 of us might stay in a hotel room together...should be interesting ......

I was looking at some people's MOSs and I was wondering what a 19C does (Armoured Cav Officer). Can you help??

Sounds like Montreal will be a blast, have fun.

I'm not sure what you're asking about the 19C MOS, but for giggles, it turns out that I will not be one. I received my branch awhile ago and I am going to be a 13A (Field Artillery officer) and I am hoping for a Heavy FSO (Fire Support Officer) slot, in which I would be attached to an Armored company's or troop's headquarters unit and command a number of FOs (Forward Observers), and be responsible for providing supporting fires for that unit.

Wow, that sounds like a lot of responsibility. But you seem to know your stuff and what you're getting into. I don't know all that much about the field I'm going into but we have Phase Training where in the summers we go work "on the job" and then come back again in time for the school year. Should be interesting because I think the Phase Training is in a different place pretty much every summer.

So what are you going to be getting your pahse training in, or is it general training?
