Just going to be bit of a contrarian here Bird_Gunner:
I would think that CFB Montreal is a pretty big base quite close to ... well, Montreal; CFB Borden ain't so small and it is well within reach of Toronto to visit with the family, and so would CFB Trenton I would say; It ain't perfect but, hey, seems to me CFB Esquimalt is within reasonable week-end day trip to mama in Vancouver; and on the second tier, lets see CFB Edmonton ... pretty close to Edmonton; CFB Valcartier ... pretty close to Quebec City, and CFB Halifax pretty close to Halifax.
I think we have to start looking for something else than pretending we live only in the boonies all the time as the reason people don't join.
Let me trow a spitball here: Why don't we make TV and internet advertisement blitzes more often. I could be wrong but they seem to work. And when we do blitz them, let's make sure that all the resources needed for fast processing are lined up at the recruiting centres.
