Congratulations to one and all.  BZ! Young Pte O'Rourke was at the Red Friday Rally last week, it was an honour to be able to applaud him and his bravery.  

Good spot Tess.  I forgot about them.  I'm still drawing a blank on the army side.  I just don't recall any being around past VN time frame.

IIRC, there is only the Res AF Pipe Band in Georgia and the Cadet pipe band at Westpoint ( I think the Citadel still has one).  Most of the pipe bands were put out to pasture by the 1970s.

It's pretty quiet here, raining and a truck loads of Sens stuff for sale...cheap...flag? Shirt? Banner? anyone?

Why not suggest to her to try the reserves and when she can, do a few night classes her HS diploma? While she's waiting for her app acceptance, she can train. 

Bigmac, go back and read that article I posted by the Brits.  It'll assure you that the load bearing gets better with the more load bearing one does (check the references the article give as well - it's all good stuff).  Your niece will be fine providing, as a good uncle that you are, you get...

MJP, It's not all that different here in Ottawa.  Our house sold (signed, sealed and delivered kind of sold) in 12 hours of it hitting the MLS realtor's site (it never made in onto the public site).  The average house here is taking about 48 hours to sell - any longer and it's either a deficient...

We bought tickets for the concert on the 21st, so we'll be in town. 

Since he'll be on his way quite soon to the UK, the museum will have to come up with another excuse for him not to be able to wear it.  (he asked if he could wear his medal again - not just see it)

Whoa...back up...D2, did you say you passed? As in passed the med ex? Spill... TH, congrats...hope it turns out for you.  If you want I can hook you up with a few sea loggies I know for details on the trade. 

I've asked Mr. Simpson that question, Michael.  I'm assuming they are replicas as the one in book has a similar rack....twigged after he suggested the book to go dig it out from my mom's stuff.  I'll let you know if I receive a reply from him. 

Well, I wrote the the RCMP historical K Troop group and received a reply from John Simpson.  He said the following in 2 emails: Hi there, yes it is an RCMP  (North West Mounted Police) Mess kit belonging to a surgeon.  He posed for several pictures in several forms of dress.  I'll dig out my...

The two chaps standing with their back to the cam look like they are wearing the red blazer that the RCMP vets wear in lieu of a mess dress.  Give me a few and I'll drag out my mum's photo albums and see if I can find a pic her division's formal functions.  I remember seeing that kit a few...

November is when the Movie for TV comes out...January is when the series starts again...

I don't which I find more offensive, your twice used term of lottery winnings in context to the death of these people's son or the idiot that told me, "You're  young, you'll get married again, the girl will have a replacement daddy soon enough."  I can't decide which is worse.
