Thanks, guess we ignored the Table at the funeral I attended and went with what felt right(which also was what the widow wanted),or perhaps that applies directly to ramp ceremonies only?

I have been in the one in Borden, they used to call it "the Hole" for a CFC CPX ca 1989. And in 1994/95 I was directly involved with the closeout of the Carp facility from a Supply perspective, it was the largest of the lot with a double bed for both the PM and the GG as presumeably they would...

The recent ceremonies at Trenton have been very moving, but I do have a question regarding the officers' remain which have returned home. I noticed all the pall bearers as far as I could see were Sr NCO's. Are pall bearers not nornally one's peers and friends; the one military funeral I attended...

Man youn should have seen the shoes we were issued and forced to wear in the late 1970s. They were called CF "Cripplers" for a reason. Fortunately common sense overroad the requirement for uniformity and we were allowed to wear our own purchased running shoes for PT.

It was the Intercontinental , and the Sheraton in Djibouti. ;D I made the reservations for the group. Don't know about all the services in the hotel as we left every day at 0600 and did not get back until late, so just went to bed. The former had the most agressive hookers in the bar I ever...

I had just left CABC so knew a lot of people that went. Pulling up in a large stretch Lincoln with J3PK  and someone from the J6 staff  at Mirabel made a real impression on all the people from Pet going on the recce that had endured a green pickle bus ride to Mirabel. Sure of your date? I recall...

The Personal was the pits. In 1996 upon release from the Reg Force on FRP I wanted to travel around North America (which I did. Given I had no fixed address they dropped me, despite having an unblemished driving record, the letter being sent to my Gagetown address from which I had moved. About...

I believe CFPMD also had an affiliated corps. Not sure which AB unit it was but Meyerthorpe, AB cadets in the early 90's were affiliated with them or CABC. Riggermade how is your memory?

Actually they are not too bad...... What no recipe for grits and gravy? I remember eating in Fort Benning in 2000 and it was an adventure in dining!

Man Beisiker has a reputation to the point I would recommend no one jump there. Not sure who runs it now. The owner some years ago was a questionable character. At a Transport Canada meeting in Edmonton I attended in 1992 he said "Time is money and you're wasting my time" right to the TC...

A shame. Thoughts and prayers to all concerned family and friends alike. http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2007/08/22/soldier-killed.html?ref=rss

In 3 PPCLI we drank ours out of an old bathtub we rented from a junkyard. Yum

Merci mon ami. RIP.

I agree. I got put through a pre para in Petawawa by an Airborne PERI wanna be and it was intense. Funny thing was I passed the standards the first day, 17 chinups and 60 situps, and then they proceeded to detroy my upper body over the next two weeks (half days) to the point I hurt so bad I...

Don't see why it should be-I do believe that the CF is interested in placing people in jobs that they have a sincere interest in pursuing a career in.

I served with Ron on the Skyhawks in 1989.........it was a very good year. Believe he discovered MGD in Perris Valley LOL as it was not yet sold in Canada. Ask him how his landing was on the Currie Barracks Parade Square at the PPCLI 75th! BTW he has a lot of dirt on me too. Mitch sends his...

Depends on the reqrs of the CF.  I went thru he double l trying to get out of MARS into Army Log. You probably stand a good chance since the classification you want needs people, and likely Log is not in quite the same sit, the opposite of what was the case for me. The Navy was hard up for...

Fort McMurray, here since 1 May
