I guess I'll volunteer to be in the inquisition... I warn you though, I let other DS be the controversial ones
What brought you to Army.ca?
-Been so long ago... I think it was a random search and I came across the War Diary (as army.ca was known back in the day)
What kept you here?
-I think I'm crazy to last this long on this board. I think I'm member number 456 or something. Long freaking time.
It tells me something about the quality of the board and the people that are members here. With my limited mil experience, I learn helluva a lot than otherwise I would be through real life, plus I've met some kick ass people.
What made you consider becoming a Staff member here?
-I think Mike B was in need of some mods, and I was then a mod of another huge site and I thought to help out a bit. Of course, the board was pretty small back then and I'd never imagine it'd grow to the size that it is today.
If you were CDS, what's the first thing you'd do?
-Ensure that the fighting spirit of CF is maintained, and that to best as we can, train to fight.
What is your favourite aspect of Army.ca?
-All the crazy people from all parts of CF I get to meet, and pick their brains for knowledge.
What is your least favourite aspect of Army.ca?
-The trolls and turd disturbers who add nothing of value and just waste DS's time.
What do/did you enjoy most about the military lifestyle?
-The comradeship, and the fact that I'm doing something that 99% of Canadian people will never do.
What do/did you enjoy least?
-The bureaucracy, and leaders that don't take care of their troops.
What is your favourite war movie or scene?
-My fav war movie is Band of Brothers series, esp. Ep 6 where they sit in at Bastogne. Artillery barrage doesn't look fun.
Fav scene is the battle scene in Children of Men where the govt troops chase the rebels in that ghetto town and things get blasted everywhere.
What book are you currently reading?
-I'm a book junkie and I used to read about 3 Clancy size novels per week. Now I'm lucky if I can read 1 with all the work and school stuff.
Right now, I'm reading The Saint by Dan Ablett, set in Warhammer 40k universe. Some easy reading to balance all the school readings.
What is your favourite quote?
-I have two that sums up my philosophy
"Fidelitas, pietas, gravitas"
which are considered 3 greatest virtues that a Roman man could have, meaning loyalty, duty and devotion.
"Think where man's glory most begins and ends,
And say my glory was when I had such friends.
-John Yeats "
I tend to judge a man by his friends. Good friends will give his coat off his back for you, bad ones will use you and ditch you when you're no longer useful.
What is your favourite kind of music or favourite band?
-I'm an electronic music junkie, mostly into progressive house right now. I also DJ as hobby so I have to listen to a lot of music in order to stay current.
Though I love classical music esp from baroque era and in my teens, I listened to a lot of alternative.
What is your favorite drink? (E.G. Coffee, Tea, Beer, other...?)
-Beer: Guinness
Spirits: Crown Royal
Non alcoholic: Darjeeling tea
What do you do on your free time (other than Army.ca, of course)?
-I read a lot, and I 'spin' (practice DJing). Oh and prowl the cyberspace. I'd go nuts without internet.
What do you do in the military?
-Currently a Cpl w/ 6 yrs as a member of RHFC out of Cambridge and Kitchener.
Compared to all the mil exp the rest of the DS have, I feel so puny...
Are you married?
-Nope. Girls find me too weird
Do you have any children?
-Nope
Do you have any pets?
-Nope. Too lazy to clean up after one.
What's the most memorable thing you have done or seen?
-Realizing what joy there is in entertaining business, when you're doing something you love, and a crowd full of room just goes nuts.
Also how music bridges gap between cultures and social groups, as I witnessed during a Daft Punk concert where rockers, punks, goths, old people, clubbers, ravers and average joes all going bonkers at the same time.
Describe one thing you believe Army.ca visitors should know about you.
-I try to be honest and fair as possible, esp over internet where you can't see the other person's face.
