Going to the Arctic
14 years ago
General
Military duty often takes me to places where I wouldn't go on my own, the latest being the Northwest Territories. I've been training for this all fall and winter (and arguably, by living in Winnipeg my whole life), and tomorrow, I'll be heading far north. I'll be gone for ten days.
I haven't been looking forward to ten days of cold and no-showers, but I have wanted to see more of Canada. I guess this is a good excuse to check the Northwest Territories off of the list. Operating as a dragoon, I'll be pushing far north, so that's some bragging rights. Not many people I know have been to the Arctic!
Despite the hardships I'll endure, it's something I gotta do. This is important for Canada. I can't be afraid of the cold.

Best of luck... based on the logic of movies, Snowmobilists usually get a bad time of it. Though thankfully, that's usually in places like Russia or Switzerland...
Actually, in the Arctic, your biggest worry might be annoying theoretical physicists, so you'll be fine. :)
but seriously, best of luck up there, and remember to wrap up nice and warm. preferably in the cleavage of a hot macro arctic vixen.
Don't get frostbite, please! We don't want you losing any of those drawing fingers. :)
Thank you for the well-wishes, Soba. I'll see you in a couple of weeks.
Wait, wrong Sub-Zero.
