Also Quickoffice, available for iPad 1 but I would imagine would work on iPad 2. Haven't used it much but so far good for reading MS Office documents.

I don't remember exactly what I carried, but I do remember "losing" things in my pockets. There were so many, between the pants, shirt and jacket keys, etc, could just disappear.

Student Summer Employment Plan (SSEP) June 1970, enrolled in the Canadian Scottish Regiment August 1970, joined the Regular Force as an Armour Officer Cadet August 1974, retired from the Canadian Army 2002.

A great story well told.

It is indeed a good day to be a Dragoon. Cheers to all Regimental members, wherever they may be.

"A tabletop exercise involves senior staff and other key personnel in an informal group discussion centered on a hypothetical scenario." If this isn't sufficient PM me and let see if we can figure out what you are looking for.

First Cold War memory? Air raid (?) drills in First Avenue School in Ottawa, circa 1960. Going into the basement and sitting on the floor. I'm not quite sure what that was supposed to do but we did it anyways. And lots more memories over the years.

Thanks for the prompt response. Any idea why this badge would be worn on the epaulette and by a sergeant who so far as we know was always on regimental duty? We have not been able to find any other examples of this badge being worn by other members of the regiment.

The Canadian Scottish Regiment Museum recently had a WW2 battledress blouse donated. It belonged to one of our sergeants who served overseas with the Regiment during the war. The blouse has a formation badge located on the left epaulette, but we have been unable to identify what it signifies, or...

My perspective on this was that while there was a very important message here, the Ombudsman squandered the opportunity to get the nation's attention (if that was even possible) with a poorly-staged press conference. I can't blame the participants for being inarticulate or nervous in front of...

Or its a hangover from the original combat shirt where the FN C1 mags fit in the chest pockets and the draw strings kept them (sort of) tight to your body and they didn't beat you death when you ran.

I don't know about the rest of the pack but the FRED looks interesting.

A couple more of the Snowbirds. We were anchored just north of Fisgard Lighthouse when I took these.

Not the Reagan, but a good shot of the Snowbirds flying past Fisgard Lighthouse.

Some more pleasant reminders of being past my expiry date: *RP4s - loved the canned pineapple, hated the Jambalaya, but lots of fun when thrown unopened into a fire *3.5" rocket launcher, in two pieces *dopey cravats in regimental colours, worn with work dress AND combats *ponchos that doubled...

Being long retired and remembering some very dark days I can only admire how far the Army, and for that matter the CF,  has come in developing and choosing its senior leaders. I served as a junior officer with the current and former CDS and the current and nominated CLS and I couldn't think of...

My uncle was in the North Novas at the same time so this really struck home. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

On behalf of my family I would like to wish Merry Christmas to all Canadians serving their country wherever they may be. In particular our thoughts are with those who are separated from their families. May you come home safely. Thank you for your service.

Happy Birthday!

I just finished watching this. An excellent movie.
