Pierce County Deputy Kent Mundell had a memorial service today, roughly a month after the 4 Lakewood PD members had theirs. RIP Kent!

As a former member of the RCMP and having resided now in Lakewood for a number of years, the sight of a thousand RCMP members marching into the Tacoma Dome was very moving. The city has been incredible in trying to create a comprehensive and meaningful tribute to those fallen officers. Since...

Thanks All! A belated, but appreciated thanks to all. Noneck, a 1004 is due my good man! Cheers! Jim

Sorry guys, I got side tracked myself for a bit! Noneck was dead on, the manager was paying herself out of the till and the canteen now simply sells shoe polish etc. to the recruits/cadets/flavour of the month. Noneck, could you pass on the info of this guy in E Div to me? Thanks for the link...

Seriously? Though it sounds like the Force... I remember the Museums prices were quite a bit more to assist in the upkeep. Is the shop in Langley run by John Grevies (s)? I thought he had moved to Vernon or Kelowna? If you could send me that shops info Noneck, I will appreciate it! Cheers, Jim

TOO LONG AGO! hehehe! I think it was 5 or 7 weeks? And at that time we went straight to OTD, no Cornwallis at that time. Cheers, Jim

Hi to all! I have a question I can't seem to get an answer to... So since the Canteen no longer sends out catalogues, and now out and living in the US, I have no access to ROSS, or whatever system is now in use, how does one check out the Canteen's catalogue? Cheers! Jim

The RAAF is talking about buying the F-22 over the F-35, and the US and USAF in particular are supporting the idea so far. Time will tell, but I believe there are a lot of people in the US who would love sharing the cost burdens with another country. Cheers.

Well said Fast Eddy!

Sorry, I should have been clearer.. I was thinking more along the lines of the MP Branch forum and a couple of others here on Army.ca. There was an MP site, I think it was called 'The Guardhouse' on the web as well that might be helpful. Cheers! PS: Are you 031? I served in the Regimental...

Hi, my info is dated back to early 2000, but I was talking to an MP I know and he did the remuster from 031, no prequal's, just a good service record and clean civvie criminal record. You might try posting one of the MP forums to see about some first hand, and more recent experience. Cheers.

Thanks Kin! There are actually a couple of points I am going to use from the RCAS one. Cheers!

Thanks Norm!

Damn... you're on to me... Sorry, not the media or the lesser evil of the taliban. 17 years 031, been out about 6 years and living in WA state. While at Fort Lewis I met a young gorgeous college student and ended up settling here. I work with the Washington DOT on training SAR volunteer crews...

I'm not sure if the meanings have changed, they were used in various ways, but generally .... [Edit for OPSEC.  Too much information] Cheers.
