I have to say this. I have had a little personal experience. In 2009 I joined the armed forces for a week or so, and I worked alongside them in Vegreville, Alberta, during the training. After that, in 2010, I had a chance to join the naval forces for a few days. I have to say this is a very, very unique service. This is not 9-to-5 work. This is not shift work. This is 24/7. I have seen the passion and love in those individuals for this country, and the sacrifices they make. That is absolutely unique. If I had to pick one profession that deserves that real respect, I would pick the armed forces of our country.
