I'll be there...same description as before.
I'll try and get seats in the room at the main bar along the back.
Just start asking people are you Jason...are you Jason.
If the Minto Suites is where I think it is..Laurier and Lyon? Head east on Laurier until you get to Elgin turn south (right) until you get to the pump.
I'll be the good looking guy sitting with empty pint glasses all around. Plus BBJ wearing a kilt.
Ok..the masses have spoken. Kinda. The Pump it is.
And to prove what a swell guy I am I volunteer to go right after work at the Q get a seat and personally test all the Stella in the place to make sure it's fit for human consumption. That being said, I'll meet everyone who's anyone there at...
Ok,
So here's the 411. D'arcy's will not accept reservations for a Friday night...no pub will. D'arcy's is also pretty busy with it's free mussel feed and all of the political/news hacks drinking their worries away at the time we (I) proposed 1830ish.
So being the clever guy I am I have an...
Should be able to swing by and get the newest member to buy a pint...that is the tradition right?....RIGHT?
Then I can probably put together a COA for the next weekends festivities
BBJ, (will you be wearing your evening gown again? ;) )
ACK.
I'm swimming in it now (work wise). However, as of next week I should be able to come up with some sort of plan. Esp relevant this year as Cpls Payne and Dinning will be added to the monument.
As a preliminary COA how about Darcy's again?
Just to add my 0.02 in at our FOB the SOP that was passed down to us was when under "arty" attack...put on your helmets and carry on as per. When someone asked what about if we're sleeping..the response was to roll over and go back to sleep.
Now as an old guy I appreciate this type of SOP but...
It was passed down that when searching we were limited to certain areas only i.e. the torso and that if the bad guys..oops the OPFOR had any int on them they were supposed to had them over. Now just to be clear I'm a big fan of train as we fight and this force on force rule hampered that. Now...
I think the ROE's were adequate..however, for this ex I don't think a lot of time was spent on them from the leadership end. We need something written that doesn't sound like a law text. Use "soldier speak". I'm not saying talk down to the troops but KISS is around for a reason. More trg through...
It all depends on what TF you were part of and whether or not you were part of the PTA. For example we had about a sections worth of U.S. MPs with us. I had the extra fortune of having their command element with me. Over half of them had just returned from 18 months in Iraq. I can read all the...
I'm in...co-ord will have to wait however. I'm still trying to pack for VG.
Let the planning start after the ex. We can probably get a few COAs thought out.
Cheers
