I enjoyed the Canadian Armed Forces. In fact, I'm still very passionate about what the Canadian Armed Forces has done, not just domestically but internationally. I had tremendous opportunities to live in many of the provinces in Canada, including our Canadian Arctic, and to do things that many of my colleagues at the university would never have been able to do. That includes leading men and women in both domestic and international tasks that are important to the Government of Canada's priorities.
I enjoyed it. I enjoyed what it gave me, and I enjoyed the opportunities that it showed me. I enjoyed service to Canada. I know that may sound trite to many, but it meant a tremendous amount to me.
