From Cornwallis, I went to Borden, Ontario, Camp Boredum...err Borden...for my Administrative schooling. Back then there was no such thing as computers for individuals, and the only word processor was the drab kaki green Olivette typewriter.

A side note: I laugh now when I hear kids complaining about their computers and stuff. Try an old army issue manual type writer! Well I could only type 38wpm for 2out of 3 tries for the final grading exam. At 40wpm you got a blue card, and only a couple in our class could go that fast.

So determined to not remain with the herd, I cheated by starting to type a few lines while everyone was sitting down. I would type one word sitting down - type another while coughing, type another while the instructor was telling us how to score...one "l-e-t-t-e-r" at a time so I wouldn't give myself away...and i got 40wpm! So after all these years, I confess! ;-)

But the Military was a good life, but also a testing time as one saw a lot of promiscuous, drinking and drug lifestyles in it.
