Joining the military
Posted on October 25, 2008, under Other.
Last night, I had a dream that I was joining the military. It was one of those dreams that’s so real, you can’t tell that you’re in a dream…I was sh*tting myself.
What’s ironic is that, back in university, I applied to join The Canadian Forces as a Combat Engineer. I ended up not pursuing that, because a) I didn’t want to learn how to kill people, and b) adventuring around Australia sounded like a whole lot more fun. Oh, and Black Hawk Down was released after I’d started my military application, which gave me a dose of reality and what war can be like.
The scariest part of the dream wasn’t that I was joining a military, but that I was joining the American military…and being shipped off to Afghanistan or Iraq. *shudder*
