All good points gentlemen and I best get with the times!

With the demise of pensions and recession proof jobs, I find it hard to believe recruiting could be that short; especially when you know of people who are still waiting for their call. And I think the pay and benefits are getting more in line with civi street too. Without sounding disrespectful, when I was in it seemed that the East Coast provinces and Quebec could man the military from their own populations alone due to local economic shortfalls. Maybe I'll join the reserves to get an idea of what is happening these days. Besides, I'd love to do some shopping on the vehicles in the bombing range!
