Canada has an army?

**Bobby G** · 06-12-2002, 10:25 AM

I take this to mean "armed forces," of which the US of A has quite a few. Sure count me in, but you better pop tall and say "Yes, Chief" when you enter my ofice.

I am currently awaiting to leave for Boot Camp which is the first week of August, off to Parris Island, SC. No Autopia for 3 months!

I will work for communications or intelligence, I`m not sure which yet.

Oh yeah, not a sailer, not in the army, a United States Marine

Spent 4 years in the Air Force, still work on base as a contractor - it pays a lot better...

Yes we do! .....the equipment is so "well seasoned" they can remember when the Beatles were climbing the charts.

No, I`m not in the armed forces, but thought about it.

I`m in the Army Reserve and work on Mike Boats. The "modern" day version of the WWII/D-Day landing crafts.

I`m currently serving in the United States Marine Corps. Been in for 18 years and 3 months. Got a couple of years to go to retirement.

Jason, did you ever figure out what your MOS (Military Occupation Specialty) code was? I remember you telling me about communications. Because, if you`re coming out here to sunny Twentypalms, CA, we don`t have any intelligence schools out here.

**ultrajim49** · 06-13-2002, 01:06 AM

It never crossed my mind that some countrys have separate armys, we have only one army with several divisions like Medics,Aviation, Navy, Groundforce, ...

So , with the army I ment anyone with a uniform protecting their country.

:doh

I tried enlisting in the Air Force. Apparantly they have something against gimps with nerve damage and vascular aneurysms don`t qualify. Oh well. My hat still goes off to those of you that can and do stand a post.

**JasonC8301** · 06-13-2002, 05:17 PM

My original MOS was communications (6334 or something with 6 somehting), 29 Palms CA.

I was then introduced to Intelligence, might want to go here. I got a good score on the ASVAB for every single reserve job there is. I`ll be active once I finish college.
