Well, on this coming Friday, I will be retired from the Military Reserves. Sometime next year, I will be undergoing retraining over in Alberta. There is no big rush to do it, as I don't want to do the training, in below freezing temps. I still need to decide, on where I take the course, near Red Deer or up at Ft Mac. :confused24:

WOW they retrain you guys? All I remember getting on my way out the gate was discharge paperwork, a retired ID card and a shadow box with my medals etc in it. I had to fall back on my "learned skills".

I am "Broken" from Bosnia (11 Yrs ago), thus the retraining. To a different line of work, without the lifting, or constant bending involved.

 

Geez, I didnt know re-training would be possible for such an old dog.........? :buttkick::yikes:

The old SEA dog, lives a short distance away & I'm not sure if he is trainable. :stickpoke:

You don't really think there is a job out there that lets you sleep all day do you?

Probably not, but the government won't realize this.

Retraining? Is that anything like Retreading? Just how many miles do they think you have left on that old carcass? :rotfl:

Regardless, congrates on the retirement and hope you enjoy the new venture...(pun).

Didn't old gladiators like you, just get a wooden sword, to mark your retirement....

 

You were retired (retarded too), when I first met you, back in 91. :stirthepot:

 

Two can play that game......
