Enlistment: Parent’s Reaction

Well my mother was quite upset, you know, and my dad, he knew it was kind of inevitable that we would be going and you know they weren’t, my mother was really upset that I was going to do this. But because I went in with my peers, I think the other three families I think it made it a little easier. Because they can get on the phone you know, Ronnie’s done this, Harry was there, they talked they were all from Montreal NDG and so it was one of those situations where if I had of been, done it on my own, just gone down and said I want to join the Air Force or something on my own and come back I might have had some other. But because it was a joint effort I think this kind of eased the trauma.
