I usually go on the website army.ca a few times a week. It is a very good resource to find out pretty much anything you want to know about the armed forces. Anyways, I e-met a guy that is going to be on the same basic training course as I am so that is pretty cool, and I also found out there's a bunch of us catching the train from London to Montreal at the same time. I was told theres gonna be about 5 other people at the ceremony with me, so that will make the 9 hour plus trip a little bit better getting to know some of the people I will be with 24/7 for the next 3 months. I did a search on the via rail site and the ticket for the train costs about 300 bucks, and thats out of the governments pocket biatch. When I have my ceremony I pledge an allegiance, get a certificate, and then have to do a bunch of paperwork while my family "gets" to watch a video about basic training.
I made a little map/diagram of where I will be over the next 7 or so months and beyond. It is below for your viewing pleasure in all its paint glory. I told them I wanted to be stationed in petawawa but this could still mean I could be posted to Gagetown, New Brunswick but I was told I wouldn't be so I guess we will see.

A) This is where I start. I take a train from London to Toronto and then transfer to another train out to Montreal on March 29th.
B) When I get to Montreal I have to get to St Jean Quebec to go to my 13 week basic training course.
C) After Basic training I head to Borden, Ontario where I have my infantry training course for 14 weeks.
D) Petawawa is my final destination where I will be attached to either the 1st or 3rd battallion of the Royal Canadian Regiment.
