With Ms. Janes permission I stole this post from another thread to check the pulse of those out there.......is she correct in her assumption that the Canadian version [ say mine from 15 years ago]of the Artilleryman is doomed?
Hi Bojangles, I'm currently a female in the Artillery (reg force) and being 5 foot f*&kall and 120 pounds myself at joining, it was not easy as 155mm rounds weigh 98 pounds but hey i grunted my way through it, no doubt you can do it but it won't be easy, as for joining the artillery i would think twice, it's a dying trade, most people here have left or have an OT in (including myself) it's very hard to get ahead here, there are much better trades out there, please look around some more, I'm actually thinking of OTing to electrical distribution technician please feel free to ask me anything about the arty trade.
