Well bad news, I did.
Good news, I'm back in Edmonton and I feel fine but now I'm probably going to be neurotic and make myself sick anyway!

lmao wait I just checked and a boil water advisory started 24 hours after I left.

They appear to want me to do another test for NWO called the MOST and I cannot find any information about it.
Afaik it's just multiple choice? God I hope they don't fly me across the country again. The opportunity I'll take, but that was miserable.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

So, who's got bets on the CAF doing something like an expedited re-enlistment for previous service?

Or is that an insane thought?

if youve finished basic and are within 8 years of your release, its pretty much as expedited as it can get

The schools need people so bad so it’s nice they added some incentive to teach. Looking forward to my 400 annual which will cover the dues for the mess I never loving use.
