For those wondering what happened to me, where's my artwork, etc.

I've been very busy with the military and currently on courses too, away from home.

So all my art projects have been put on hold until I can get any free time again.

Been very busy with work, so sadly all my artwork progress has currently grinded to a halt at the moment.

And to hint how busy, my average FA submittions, comments, etc, to view is over 300 items, I usually have it around 5.

So gonna take a long time to dig through that all.

And with that note, sorry for delayed comments for items a month ago xD

Well, back from my 81 mortar ex "Ex Polar Defender". Was suppose to be 2 tubes firing, but was cut to one for only 5 of us, including me, we're mortar qualified. The other qualified people were teaching on a mortar course same weekend. The rest of Gunners and Privates were here to fire the C6s and C9s for those not helping with the CP (Command Post), OP (Observation Post) or the mortar team. We loaded our tube onto a toboggan and sledded down the hill where the range shack was all the way out to the platform, then to decide to go down into a pit area to be tactical (for you don't want a mortar on top of a hill that can be seen). Soon made out pit and trail plans/ trench lines around, with the TSM pleased saying "It's like Hoth down here. All good work guys, everything will be well as long as the enemies don't have metal camels." We fired 40 HE rounds, and I dropped (mortar term for fired) 20 or more of those rounds. Sadly I got no pictures or video of us firing the tube. After the sun set, we did a night shoot and I fired off a box of C6, for there was a lot of ammo to burn. As CP asked the TSM "How many rounds do we have left for the night shoot?" TSM - "A lot" Safety - "Might want to count them, CP likes exact numbers." CP - "A lot? I like that sound TSM"
Also, got a weird command "Cancel End of Mission", for those in artillery know, there is no Cancel command of End of Mission, to start another fire mission, you must call another Fire Mission, for End of Mission is the cancel command for Fire Mission, for Fire Mission command means we must stand by our guns and cannot leave for awaiting fire orders to support allies down range, only can leave position at the end of a fire mission.
Other logic humor, a Master Bombardier (MBdr) saw what looked like a cave, but was just a solid rock. Said wish it was. Other Bombardier (Bdr) does a Golum voice asking if that's what he wanted the cave for. I did a Batman voice saying for a batcave. The MBdr replies "No, would be a spot to chill out, smoke and hang with hot asian girls." The Safety/BSM looks at him with a bizarre look going "Now tell me, when do you find hot asian girls in a cave?" and the TSM walks in and says "Comicon".

Also, running down our hill towards the only blue rocket (portapotty) in the area at 4am when its -23*c out, nothing like needing to really take a number two, one that can't really wait for you to undo your 5 layers of pants (winterwhites, rainpants, fleece, thermals, underwear) and pulling up your parkas rear, soon as you touch that lovely cold toilet seat, magically, you don't want to go anymore.

EDIT: Forgot to also mention, when our MSVS was driving up the hill to get to the range shack when we first arrive, it got halfway, stopped, then started sliding backwards. We would stay still with the breaks on, but to change gear, have to let off the break, thus slide backwards more. But soon the driver and was able to shift to the right gears and then get us back up the hill.

Helping a buddy out here by mentioning  N2O is offering cheap commissions for those who are looking.

Forgot to mention here, back on Nov 28th, I bought a new car.
Got a 2010 Toyota Matrix XR, used, for $11,999 from Car Canada. Even though almost 42k km on it, it's in excellent condition and barely any rust (since all Ontario people know how much salt is dumped onto the roads during winter). Also got a 10 year/200,000km warranty from SecureDrive and anti-rust prevention for it (so brought the total with tax to $19k). Good thing I am military, for got a huge saving discounted on buying this/getting that awesome warranty package.


Else wise, been very busy for me, from work and life drama bullshit for 2 months.

And again, going to be very busy again with all the Christmas Specials at the VIP hanger, already booked to supervise for 122 hours, wooooo!

How have you all been?

They say a child's laughter is the most beautiful sound you will ever here.
Except when it's 3 am... and your alone... and you don't have kids.

Derp, thought through some crap here.

Anyways, been busy with work, life with roommates and family. And lol, forgot to mention my birthday back in April, derps.

Been slowly working a way at a current piece, oh god, them details, my only weakness. Sucks more when you art mood just comes and goes. Usually at worst time *stuck at work *brain LETS DRAW!* OH COME ON!
Also was playing heavy in tournaments in World of Tanks for a month.

So how have you guys been?

Alright, I'm not buried in work right now to say Merry Christmas everyone. Hope everyone had a good day.
Now back to the airport to deal with more DND family flights at the Ottawa International Airport until Jan 7th, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Well, these past weeks have been hectic for me. Bought a new apartment for me and my friends to live and move into this weekend, so finally get to leave this current falling apart place.
Distance isn't that far, still in the Algonquin College area, instead of off Baseline Road, I'm going into the houses in the Craig Henry area. Up side now is I have a 95 bus that runs 24/7, so I can get dropped off more near my house, compared for the 118 that stops a midnight, so had to walk 1.6km home at 4-5am.

So once all settle back in and get new internet running, should be back online around Dec 2nd or 3rd after the technician sets me up. Hopefully by then too all my moving stuff is done and then can get back to artwork and stuff. I have been slowly doing the shading/texturing to those two pictures.

Been very busy being derped by work and playing WoT.
But to ask, when I get time to draw, what you guys sort of want to see?
Me colouring friends/others artworks for them?
More of my Animal Rising story stuff?
WWII stuff?
Or just any damn art?

Dear Ginger

I don't really know how to tell you this, but I'm joining the Convent. I think I realized it when you when I tripped on peanut butter at the mental hospital and I saw you sit on the elephant in the corner. I'm sure you're open enough to understand that your driving sucks. I'm returning your your toe ring but keeping the results of that blood-sample as a memory. You should also know that I am better off without you and I love Oprah.
Please don't hurt me,

Stolen from  GingerM

23 years and finally can't think of what to do?

Must have been so busy with work, helping people and my friends clan Blue Turret in World of tanks with diplomatic talks/clan wars and gaming.

Damn wish I had this as my cake: http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/u.....obear-cake.jpg

Parent's took me out to dinner, got me a cake and gave me $200 to spend on something.

Spent most of the day sleeping, had a sore throat in the morning.

Also can't stop listing to this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5Zh.....ature=youtu.be that the Ottawa's local radio station Hot 89.9 made themselves and premiered Monday morning.


P.S. Man I haven't touch journals here in forever, took me 2 mins to figure out the create journal button xD

Derp, letting you guys know I'm not dead, just very busy with work.

*pokemon evolution music*
Whats that? Gunner Young is being promoted!
*pokemon evolution ending music*
Gunner Young has been promoted to Bombardier Young!





P.S. Also, if you ever go repelling with 11mm nylon rope (or any at that matter) off a 100m tower, wear some thick fuckin gloves. Got some blisters on my left fingers from the rope burning through the goat skin combat gloves I had.

Well, came back from a Winter Warfare training weekend. Dam cold in the mornings, -40*c with the wind chill. Learned the basics of winter survival, not so much on combat.
We built snow defenses, one out of all snow and another with tree logs and snow.
We fired 300 5.56mm and 200 7.62mm rounds into both of the defenses. All the targets survived.
Don't know how deep the bullets got into the wooden/snow wall, but my group was in charge of the complete snow wall. The bullets only got about 2ft/0.5m into the snow (where I packed it), out of the 18ft wall.

Apparently they did a snow wall demostration in Ottawa by the GGFGs and the bullet went through and hit the target, so everyone laughed at the fact snow can stop a bullet. Well, yes it can, the idiots didn't make their wall right or never built a god dam snow fort when a kid in their life.

Also, besides getting back home, I discovered one of my 1TB harddrives in my RAID 0 setup on my PC was producing errors, so I had backed up some recent files and took my dad's advice on using the Norton Ghost15 data copy from January 5th 2011 to back up on, since a Ghost image can restore your PC to that time so you don't have to reinstall everything again.

Well, after fighting with the re-installation for the past 2 days, I found out I cannot put my PC back to the Ghost image and must reinstall everything all over again.

Should have just copied everything onto one hard drive and pasted it back like last time :/

At least now I got my PC back to date. So massive delay in artwork there, besides cleaning this dam house and job searching. Seems I will never get to draw again or something D:

So how are you guys?



P.S. I manage to get a triple feed jam on my C7A2 while shooting on the weekend. The rifles were all bran new (covered in greese), so my bolt froze and magazine housing had issues. Usually get a double feed jam, but triple is a rare and WTF?>HOW? moment.

So, guess whats back! And its more then before and from a different place asking for money.
MERCY HOSPITAL CADILLAC
Accounts Pending Insurance
Total Charge: $717.20
Service Type: Emergency Room

And they also offer me American Health Insurance at the bottom of this bill. And the insurance is CAREPAYMENT from MUNSON HEALTHCARE.


So lets see,
$325.00 for being looked at by their emergency staff (Bill from Oklahoma City, OK for Mercy Hospital)
ANNNND
$717.20 for sitting in one of their rooms on one of their beds and dirtying it with my 2 day old sweaty dirty combat uniform, even though they had a paper sheet on it... I think. (From Mercy Hospital itself)

So I just got a bill today from Oklahoma City, OK for Mercy Hospital in Grayling, MI that I went to back in August for my left arm extremity during our 5 day live fire ex at Camp Grayling, MI.

A bill for something about 3 months ago, ok? Which is due by Nov 24? What kind of bill is that?

Anyhow, the bill states I owe them $325.00, for being looked at by their emergency staff, even though the claim says to Canadian Forces Health SVCS, it still got to me.

Called my ROR to find out this isn't the first time they sent this bill after me. Since I was on course, I would be medically covered, yet somehow its getting toward me and my regiment.

So get to talk with the ROR Sgt. next training weekend about this issue that he's already been working on.


P.S. And no, the Mercy Hospital was not like the one in L4D, for you L4D players.

Back from my DP1 Artillery course, now I'm a full qualified artillery's man.

Also now been promoted from Private to Gunner.

And my Det. 2IC said I would be probably great as an ammo guy or weapons tech.

Well, packing my stuff for my summer course, DP1 Artillery, in Sault Ste Marie (SSM), ON. Get to stay at a college in SSM and go down the the U.S. base in Michigan to fire 105s.

Leaving tomorrow morning around 5am, for my bus leaves at 8am (2 hrs drive to Pembroke, 6-8 hrs bus to SSM).
July 7th, paperwork for course.
July 8th, course starts.
August 6th, course ends.

See you all in August.

Sincerely
Pte. Young
42nd Field Regiment of the Royal Canadian Artillery
