Almost Outta Here

So I'm almost done my first stint here at St. Jean! But first I must get through Ex-Challenge and the 13km ruck sack march at lovely Farnham. Ahh Farnham what a fun place but only after you've left and look back at it. I also have to redo my fitness test, because I can't push a whole lot up.

So I'll briefly go over my past week. First off Monday was nothing exciting. Can't even remember it. Tuesday/Wednesday were spent out at Farnham learning how to setup roadblocks, biouvacs, patrols, searches, how to bust into a house, search POWs, and everything a person needs to know before deploying. Thursday was the big inspection, drill test, and PT test. Made it through all of them except for the PT one because of my lacking in the arm muscle area. Friday was slack. Wrote an easy multiple choice exam and had my head shaved for the 3rd or 2nd time in the last 2 months! Went to Montreal (the city where it's hard to find an Alexander Keith's but very easy to find tobacco, porn, and other things that take effort to find in any other province). Did the tourist thing there for Friday/Saturday.

Very excited to be down to 2 weeks here. Looking forward to Kingston, even if the first month is going to be an extremely wild ride of an unknown kind. Well that's bout it. Ohhh one last thing.

Good luck to all my classmates who are on their ways to Winnipeg, Brandon, etc! I love y'all and good luck with moving out. It's definitely a little different but you'll adapt!
