Dear Prospective Candidate,

Here's a tip: if you can't call the RCMP by yourself to get information on how recruitment works, then the RCMP is probably not a career path you should consider. If you have to get your mommy to call for you, then the RCMP is definitely not a career path you should consider.

Please to grow a spine, some cojones, and buy a pair of scissors so you can cut those pesky apron strings.

No love,

Me

Or maybe he's not so interested in joining the RCMP, but his mommy is very interested in him joining the RCMP:

"Look Dear, here's all the information I got for you..."

Sometimes that's true, but not in this case. This woman had NO idea where she was calling, only that her son had told her to call and ask about the "classes" we were supposedly offering so he could become an officer.

Eesh. No words.

Heh. My gran signed my dad up with the air force because he was putting it off and putting it off...

Sadly, I know people who would do this.

So do I, though only in passing.

I feel like it teaches me how to not parent. Learning through others and all that.
