anigo | ok, so here's a thought that came to me in a dream...

And it's a very far fetched thought... a down right loony one, actually, but humour me here for a minute.

I'm considering joining the armed forces. Ok, just typing that sentance sounded more like I'm going to do it than I'm conidering it... maybe I'm considering considering joining the armed forces.

Hear me out here for a second.

1) I hate my job
2) I want an education

Soooooooo.........

Last night I dreamt that I worked with Hawkeye and BJ at a MASH unit. Ok, yes, it's a bit far fetched, not to mention that I've ALWAYS loved watching MASH and I *KNOW* (so you don't have to remind me) that the armed forces is not all about booze and a laugh track, but please continue to humour me.

IN the armed forces they will pay for your education if you commit to them for a period of time. The pay is fairly decent, they have a great pension plan... The Canadian Armed forces tends (and I say tends, knowing that it's not ALWAYS so) to be more of a Peace Keeping organization than a Rambo one. And, I've always wanted to do somethign more health related... so... Why not look into joining the Armed Forces (the navy maybe? Work on the ocean??) and be a medical assistant or some such thing.

Yes, yes, I know, there'll be long stints away from my family, and I'm probably too old, and... stuff... but I'm just thinking those thoughts that always seem to make so much sense after you wake up from a dream.

Not only that, but think what Basic Training will do for my abs... :P

Interesting thought....
