bonjour jean-luc,

c'est la meme choise ici...switching to english, i served with a helicopter squadron at CFB Petawawa (where i'm pretty sure you spent some time too, eh?) and a reserve infantry unit (NSaskR)...i was asked if i wanted to re-enlist, and was offered rank of 2Lt again, but get this..because of the time i have been out, i'd have to do BT again and then RMC for officer re-training...i'm getting a bit long in the tooth for that, i'm afraid...lol...yeah, i could see me rolling around in the mud with 20 year olds...i miss some of the fun and adventure and camaraderie, but i've got a good, secure job, and enjoying biking and making new buddies in the biker scene...think hard about how much you really miss it...you've put in more time than i have...what about training or NCO/IC of a reserve unit as a choice for you if you really want back in?
