Kat, I think it is your tale that I was referring to.  I wasn't there, but it doesn't stop me from keeping the tale alive!  So it was an Arnes trailer huh?  Man those things are tough.  I'm sure Oma and Opa haven't forgot how to spell A R N E S.... S6

McG, Thanks.  Haven't heard anything on my net as to what the problem may have been.  I know we could have used four of them on Op APOLLO and it sounds like you could have used a few yourself.  There is always a need to move earth on deployed operations.  MPEVs should now be part of the...

Gully, I'm thinking this guy might be part of the SCTF crew.  Let me check my sources and I will post back here. S6. ARMY DIVING!

My condolences and prayers go out to the families of those fallen. May they rest in peace and not be forgotten. ++++ Ubique. Sapper6  :cdn:

MCG, That's odd?  Did CEFCOM HQ say what the issue was?  Is it spare parts?  Operator training? S6

With all the griping about personal equipment recently, it would be great to see some more Combat Arms Sr NCOs take the LFTSP and try to make a difference in DLR.  Preferably, guys who've just come back from the sandbox. Good to see that the LAV IIIs are holding up relatively well to SA and RPG...

bLUE fOX, Subject to availability, all Reg F bases will have some form of transient quarters.  You just need to get in touch with the B Accomodation Officer (sometimes it is a civilian) and provide a fin code.  Although you can book accomodations directly, I would recommend you get your OR...

Hello Michal, I can put you in contact with the organiser.  It will take a couple of days.  Be prepared, it may be too late for this year.  Will let you know. Sapper6

Kat, I hear you.  If I really wanted to get picky, it's a "Broco" not "Bronco" underwater torch... Sapper 6

Rouge, Fair enough.  I just thought that if we make this thread a whine-fest, it just invites everyone to jump in and get stupid= flame war!  Recommend you PM Kat Stevens if you want both the good and the bad of being a Cbt Engr.  He can also put you on to others that can give their opinion. ...

NL_engineer, Careful my friend.  I know you are entitled to your opinion, but let's be as professional as possible.  For every comment you have heard, I can give you twice as many form "higher up" infantry Sr NCOs/officers that know exactly what we do and employ us properly. Rouge, I...

All, Much better night than I had ever expected!  The Army.Ca crowd wasn't in doubt, however the digs were.  Man was I surprised.  I had a little explaining to do when I rolled in at 0200 hrs.... Well done to Piper (aka "the Kid") for suggesting the night, and Bruce for providing the...

Our Bde HQ or BGen Fraser's X Mtn Div patch? S6

Joe, Good post.  Thanks for the information. Sapper6

Depends, are you bringing a digital camera?

Bruce, Will you guys still be going at 2330 hrs or so?  We are heading down to Guelph this weekend.  What are the chances of that?  Anyway, by the time we leave Ottawa at 1600 hrs, put the kiddies to bed, it will probably be 2330 hrs before I can commence "link-up" operations.

Journeyman, I think if you look real deep...real deep.  You will see that there is a bit of Sapper blood in your veins too, that is before it got clouded over with all that SAR-Tech hoo-haw stuff!  ;) Chimo! Sapper 6

Knucklehead, Ref:  The Canadian Military Engineers Manual A-JS-007-003/JD-001 dated 9 Feb 1993 Although a little dated, the above ref is used by all officers and Sr NCOs in the Canadian Military Engineers as a guide on a multitude of subjects.  One of which covers mess dinners.  I thought the...

Franko, Chimo! to that.  ;) Regards, S6.
