Just joined the Army, anybody in there also???

Well today, my friends and I signed up for the Army "co-op" program at my school.

This program is for next semester and from 8am-11:30am, I'll be doing military training, getting paid $35.00 a day.

If I plan on going a bit further with this, I'll be going to New Brunswick in Summer for 6 weeks for more training, while getting paid $71.00 a day.


Has anybody gone throught this before????

Canadian Army is not my first choice, US Army would be, but it will be fun with all my buddies there
