Well if it helps C Bty has just recently (yesterday lol) officially handed over the LG-1 to A Bty, guess we are just a mortar company.  Any 1 with input from 2 Horse?

96 I Coy 97 E Coy 98 A Coy 99 I Coy (staff sgt)

just to add to that.......you can have them back. Take'em go ahead.  And Ty for the bit on the colours but I was more looking for peoples opinions on the matter, shoulda phrased it differently huh?  I asked my BSM on this topic and he stateted that as long as the cypher isn't stamped on he dont...

As all gunners know our colours are the guns......with the loss of the M-109 and the gaining of the mortars.   I was wondering if anyone out there think the mortar should be considered "colours" or not.   Just a question to throw out there for opinions

I am in 1 RCHA and was part of 2642 3RCR CC as well, from 96 - 2001.

lookiing for the sale deal but in Manitoba, i know someone who wants one for recreational reasons ( :) )

oh oh better be good BK C is in the house lol

no thats air support HOOAH

Gonna replay as a now trained and active mortarman.  We are organized simular to the infratry platoon.  We have a  #1 has to be det 2 I/C qualified (go figure)  which I think is a huge BRAVO SERRIA.  I'm just a little gunner 1 hook, and I was in charge of a tube, fired it, recorded it ect.. but...

It was quite an emotional day for some.  I uploaded some pics from that day.    Sad day 4 gunners, but a good shoot anyhow. Regiment A-TTEN-TION  to ur colors Salut.......Salut    :salute:

It will be a sad day but a good day to be a Gunner.  Does anyone have a solid lead to whats gonna come in to make up for the loss in firepower yet?    :salute:    :'(  :cdn:

Well here out west we it this way..... Mortars are split between two bty's,  A and C.  A Bty is mounted in Wolves (or will be) and us in (what we jokingly say)  C company (really a BTY)  we are dismounted.  Primary system is the LG1 but we tend to fucos more on mortars.

I think its more of the way we spend the money.  IE:  purchasing those stupit subs, wasting money on things as excessive use of paper ( I went through 3 packages the other day for just checklists like MY GOD) ect... my 2 cents

LOL good point 7-10  over worked LOL  I havent been anywhere other than to good ol Wainwright and back.  I would love to lbe able to lend a hand in any means.  Shilo is often forgotten about by the way.

So to my understanding they'll use the bison style for recovery with the LAV 3?  The reason for these questions is that I was told that if a lav was to totally break down IE: all wheels go,  they would have to flat bed the vehicle back to base to be fixed.  I just found it hard to believe that...

A discussion at work lead me to ask you all this.  If there is such thing, plz post a link of info and pics if possible.  TY

I asked around in the good ol' C bty lines today and got this as my answer.  As a quote from the 1RCHA site  "The First Regiment of the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery is the senior unit of the regular component of the Canadian Forces. The Regiment traces its origin to 20 October 1871, when the...

TY for the info guys MUCH appreciated.  Srry for not getting back to yas all, but I thought this topic died lol.  TY again . I do not have to tell you who won the war. You know, the artillery did. Gen George S. Patton cbtygunner

In my opinion yes it is.  Like everything the CF owns it has its drawbacks but I like it.  It's dependable, stable and light wieght.  The gun was made durable I'll give the french that. The ability to hide the LG1 is great, the low profile of the gun helps alot.  The baseplate idea is sweet too...

LOL I realized ur point in the post u made, and well being arty i know that too.  I was just puttin a reply to firepower thats all...
