I try to look up past post for history of regimental coins, couldn't find it. Just curious on a few things. Who started this tradition?, why?  Is this just an army thing? and i know that if someone show you their coin and you don't have yours you have to buy him/her a drink. Now my question is...

Some how my reply was sent before i finished. I guess i just didn't like how Robert protrayed my friend, so i'am a little defensive. I wasn't there just my friends version and his are different.

I read this book, his first contact caught my attention. I know the soldier that he refers to in the tower. Two things stand out. My friend said that his platoon was on security duty at that time and he was by himself. Since he was by himself when he recieved fire, his platoon warrant came...

Read about this the other day. He was in the company that relieved the canadians in panjwaii.I'am very surprise at this. This is ridiculous.

Hughes congrats to the corporal.

Just a question to whoever knows. I was told that after 4 or 5 tours, your allowed to refuse.

I seriously feel bad for the guy. If the guy is doing an outstanding job as an intelligence officer ,then why not let him stay.Maybe there is something i do not understand. I hope it works out for him.
