Since there are a few threads for "Forum Vets" I thought I would start one for real veterans from any country's service. I'm a veteran US Air Force NCO. I was assigned to duty stations in three different countries.

This is also in honor of "Veterans Day" or "Remembrance Day" or whatever it's called in your country. Cheers to the Veterans!!

I will be in a couple months, well in the army at least. Probably wouldn't call myself a vet, more like a new recruit. biggrin:

Ninty, is their a specific Divison you want to join?

ninty · 11-05-2002, 10:39 PM

I will be joining the Calgary Highlanders Regiment because it is the only one in the City. I'm going into reserve so hey will keep me in my home city. Then in a few years I might beable to do a tour. They split the thing up into two infantry regiments this year cause a whole bunch of them went to Bosnia about a month ago for 6 months.

So i'm pretty sure i'll be with the Highlanders as an infanteer, and from what i've heard, i'll be in B company because thats where the new recruits go.

Good Luck Alias. Remember your reporting statement "Sir Airman Alias reports as ordered." And you will be fine.

lol thanks Sindonesia. We have meetings once a month while in DEP and I kept screwing it up. Im actually going to have to say "Sir, Trainee Mckiernan Reports as Ordered ". I kept saying "Sir, Trainee Mckiernan reporting as ordered"

Bleed, my brother got a couple 341's written up. Dont they write them out for both good and bad behavior? I think he was 1/1 on that. Only reason I know what they are. I hope I get 50 or somethin biggrin:
