Yeah she's just a really mom-y mom. I was pretty much doomed from the start. She has footage of me with my 1st cousin when we were 4 years old in South Africa. We're both playing with sticks; he's using his as a guitar, and I'm pretending to shoot mine like a gun. He joined a band.

My family is TOO on-board as far as I'm concerned. I'm a very private person and my mum is making all these social media posts about me being accepted. My eyes hurt from rolling so much. I think she's just excited because the last family member we had in any sort of military was my...

I don't know what awful bank you use but my shiny Charizard knocked $10k off the down payment on my house.

It's really pretty pointless to describe militaries in terms of political ideologies, especially ones primarily concerned with economic policy like libertarianism and socialism.

The military is pretty far from socialist too...

Alls they got are clear ones. I found a yellow one at MEC, so I guess I'll just eat a bunch of pushups.

I'm far from a libertarian but I think a lot of people in this thread are mistakenly conflating it with anarcho-capitalism... Funny you should mention putting words in people's mouths, I don't think any sane libertarian would suggest that a volunteer military should be internally governed by...

It's been a lot harder to find a white soap dish than I thought

I was under the impression that "recent graduates" could apply as semi-skilled without ambulance experience. I graduated in July, licensed in September, got the PLAR seal of approval in November, and a job offer in February for semi-skilled. Fingers crossed everything I learned doesn't leak out...

A strong welfare system isn't mutually exclusive of lightly-regulated businesses encouraging entrepreneurism. It's a hard balance to strike though.

I applied almost two and a half years ago. In that time, I worked, got my Emergency Medical Responder and Primary Care Paramedic certificates (along with a few others), upgraded my license, and applied to school (though I was recruited before they got back to me). Just keep plugging away, do...

It kind of disturbs me how much credulity certain social sciences are treated with, especially those married to postmodernism. Every once in awhile I read an op-ed, a book excerpt, or even a paper published by such-and-such sociologist or gender theory professor or whatever, and it just blows my...

Windex isn't necessary to clean out after shooting corrosive, some hot water and you're good. Corrosive ammo is corrosive because militaries used to use KCl or NaCl to prolong primer lifespan, and hot water is just as good at cleaning out salt as windex is (while being a lot cheaper). If you're...

Also in on the 14th for Med Tech, semi-skilled. I know another semi-skilled med tech from Victoria that's coming too, so that's three so far. I can't wait til someone injures themselves on the obstacle course and is trampled by med techs.
