I am a US citizen, landed in Canada....(I lived in Canada since I was 2
and still hold a valid Ontario Driver's License. I am eligible for Canadian
Citizenship because my mom is a Canadian (a Canada-US agreement)

I was an automated logistics specialist...in civilian terms: a warehouse
flunky equal to what you would do if you worked for any other shipper/
receiver of goods....boxes come, you process them, and then you ship them
out to the customers...which in my case are supporting units.
It isn't real exciting...but someone has to do it.
The most exciting things I did in the military are: shoot a weapon (M16a2
<not fully- automatic> and an M249 <fully-automatic "light" machine gun> ),
drove in the mud with a hummer on more than one occasion, and drove the odd
forklift picking up parts from our (my unit's higer source of supply).

Unfortunately no juicy story to share about my discharge!!
I signed up for 4 years active service, and somehow??? I managed to complete
all 4 years on my initial contract....I signed up for almost 4 years in
the New York State National Guard....one weekend a month....during the
school year (to help supplement my income, of course)....still doing my
occupation = supply.

> What school are you at?
I went to Niagara College (in Welland) for 2 years getting a diploma in
business accounting, and spent a year at Niagara University (in Lewiston,
NY) working on a Degree in Business Administration (concentration in
Accounting). I am going back there this september(got accepted for re-
admission, and got a good financial aid packet....)
I intend to graduate this year, and hopefully either write the CPA
(certified public accountant) exam shortly upon graduation, or the
GMAT (graduate management admission test) so I can attend Grad School,
and start on a MBA degree.

I was just wondering because I heard it was starting to ship....all
negativity aside with this set...I think I'll need a copy to "round" out
my very limited castle collection.

> Last question: are you still up for BrickWarz

I am open to talk (and participate) in BrickWarz....
In the late fall, early winter, I intend to further expand my castle
collection by trying to buy a Leo's castle, and in the mean time buy some
more defense archers for my "english" guard.
I have a night lord's castle, as well as several ninja sets, and I would
also like to get the afformentioned guarded inn, and would also like to
get a king's mountain fortress in the very near future. I would also like
to add that I got a knights mini-fig set a while back with two of the
"king's knights (ones with the lion on them), one with the eagle crest on him,
a "bum", and 2 forestmen.
Of course any discussion on sides, and the like would have little bearing on
me....I'd be an ally / supporting army on someone's team...I don't have
enough castle stuff to have an army on my own.
Nice to see a response soo soon....
