    I know we've been asking for more advertising of the Canadian Forces...

    After one month and a half of waiting, I finally got the call. It was a coincidence how it happened. I was sitting at home with my girlfriend during my lunch break from school, when I saw an envelope on my table, I thought to myself "wow, shiny stamps, maybe it's important." Turns out it was...
