Okay well I havent really posted any interesting journals so why not start today eh? haha any ways as the furries that I met in Ontario know, I have moved to the cold, flat province of Alberta. It was the best of 2 places to get posted for my OJT (on the job training) portion of my training.

So what has happened up until this point? well since graduating basic training I had been in Ontario for a year doing courses that ranged from driving (small vehicles up to 10tonnes with air brakes, no armoured yet though) soldier qualification (cock course with a week of living in the bush army style) and a course that pretty much taught us about the regiment that we belong to.

Once all that little stuff got out of the way it was on to the trades training.... 7 grueling months of death by power point followed by death by running. the runs them self were not so bad its just the way every PT day turned in to a run every time. But in the end we graduated (or should I say survived) that portion and then well, now I just started the adventure in Alberta (Hey if there are any alberta furs that are watching me we need to meet okay lol)

So the first few days here at the Battalion have been chill, got to meet a bunch of higher ups (even did an air hump to answer a question lol ask if you want the story). then of course there are the usual army life things like inspections, thankfully now I can finally live off base so I dont always have to keep my room spotless, but uniform and boots are big things. I did learn a valuable thing though... It pays off to know people in high places. A warrant officer that my course knew got a bunch of us to work for him. for me and a friend that means working around and soon on some of the Leopard Tank engines!! although it doesnt seem like much yet man the sound of one of those engines on the test stand running is enough to convince me that I would never wanna be at the business end of one of them EVER!
it was pretty cool today, cant wait to see what else I will be able to do while here, totally gonna be trying to get in on a field exercise soon enough.
but until next time, more to follow NYAH!.... (only a few know what crazy sgt some of that quote came from lol)
