They're Mounties, changed just enough to avoid any kind of legal action.

Because sometimes, that's our job. There is more than one name on the RCMP Memorial in Regina there because they were hopelessly outgunned in the rolling gun fight.

Ah, alrighty. West Shore had a similar reputation out here for more than a couple years.

West Shore, by chance?

Ah yes, Surrey Central mall. A place where many of the firsts in my career took place. Never change. In other news... I wonder how Mayor "It Won't Cost a Single Extra Dollar" is doing these days?

Cool. Until they and the Federal Government figure out how to stop stripping the CAF of lands and facilities in BC and start helping us expand and engage with British Columbians, this is all a wet fart in the wind.

I have, but I didn't get that impression from the people I met. I have nothing but good things to say about the time I've spent in Atlantic Canada (minus Gagetown)

Good Lord, that article spent an awful lot of time saying things like rare for Atlantic Canada and PEI remains safe. Surely the people of the east coast aren't so delicate as to not assume there's criminals in their midst doing criminal stuff?

Legend says that the arrows on the shoulder mounted epaulettes (in Service Order No. 1) point to who ends up holding accountability. Corporal and Sergeant point down at the Constables (no insignia) but the Staff Sergeant has four chevrons on each shoulder pointing squarely at them.

Maybe my screen is just a little off, but the officer's shoes appear to be dark brown when compared closely to the NCO's footwear.

Yes yes, we're all nasty Colonialists who continue to keep the average Canadian down with our stylish and highly polished jackboots... (which happen to be named after the Strathcona's, but you already knew that right?) Anyways, I'm not sure what your point is here. We had different uniforms for...

I suspect the drill unit at Depot will continue to insist of sharp creases leading to demand for dry cleaning :ROFLMAO:
