New here

Hey there, the name's Josh W. I'm new to this forum, I've done some lurking around but finally decided to join. I've gone to SFU for a year or so.

If you are still reading this, I'm surprised to be honest.

About myself, well I am an ROTP student which translates to I am in the Canadian Forces, (regular, not reserves) and I am an officer. My trade is Pilot, yes that is right, I am one of those guys who flies those big C-17 Hercules, the giant transport planes. In the ROTP program the CF sends me to university and I am supposed to get a degree, which they pay me to go get. So I am on my way to getting a Bachelor in Science. During the summer I get to go play soldier out in Quebec where I do my many phases of training.

At SFU, I am also on the rowing team, so between 4 and 6 times a week, I am up at 4:30 to go to rowing practice before I have my 8:30 classes.

That's pretty much me.

    Hi Josh and welcome!

    Neat that you get paid to go to school... not too shabby! And good for you for getting up so early to keep in shape. I wouldn't have the drive to do that!

    Now thats some introduction! I don't think there's many B.Sc. students who drive military aircraft lol. I thought about joining the military a few years ago due to the fact that they pay for your school but decided I wouldn't be able to handle it so props for your dedication.

    Oh and nice to have you here
