1 RCR, Charles Coy, I think it was spring of '82.  We had an unusual tasking that spring.  We were sent on a "show the flagâ ? type of exercise to Hall Beach, NWT (now Nunavut.) http://www.hallbeach.com/ My platoon, 8 pl. the Corps of Drums, were told that we would be bringing our instruments...

Sorry ToRN, I fervently wish it were BS.  There are plenty of references on the net.  Here's the one from MSNBC: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6989380/

Well, here's absolute proof that the end of civilization as we know it is at hand. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05048/458932.stm WB seeks revitalized cartoon franchise with new look for Bugs Bunny and friends Thursday, February 17, 2005 By Brooks Barnes, The Wall Street Journal Talk about...

A young engineer is walking along by a pond in the park when he hears a voice down in the reeds.  â Å“Psssst!â ? says the voice, â Å“Look down here!â ?  The engineer looks around and spots a frog.  â Å“Hi!â ? says the frog.  â Å“I'm not really a frog, but a beautiful princess who has been turned...

But "furthermore" should be one word.  ;D

Seems to me that the only lives they're "devaluing" in this bill are the lives of those who would cause death or great bodily harm to innocents.  At least, that's the way I'm reading it.  Bang on Florida!

I hope not.  I never could quite get the hang of Thursdays. Currently my copy of Life, The Universe and Everything is making the rounds of my fellow hitchhikers here at work. Oh, freddled gruntbuggly .... I also thoroughly enjoyed The Meaning of Liff.  :dontpanic:

Cornwallis, 1978, recruit platoon 7836.  We were an experiment as far as the forces were concerned.  Apparently, ours was the first recruit platoon since Korea that was going to be staying together through basic and TQ3.  Well, half of the platoon was anyhow, one and two sections would be moving...

qb: As Michael posted above, depends on your criteria.  Both rifles have been endlessly "sporterized" and re-barreled and both rifles have their fans.  From a sporterizing perspective, the K-98 is easier to work with however.  The Springfield '03-A3's action is extremely hard, and by that I...

Plus ca change, plus ca meme chose. Edward, sounds like your parade in, 60 was the dress rehearsal for the Div. parade we did on RV '81.  Three bands, combats, work dress, CF's and ceremonial dress, everything from jeeps to Loepards in the drive past.  Three guys with heat stroke.  The...

Tom: After reading your post, I went to http://www.cfc-ccaf.gc.ca/media/news_releases/2005/2005-03-29-bg_e.asp and read the following: Prohibited firearms, other than prohibited 12(6) handguns, may no longer be transported to a shooting range. They may only be transported for specific...

I believe they also filmed the opening scenes of Jack Nicholson's Last Detail in Borden.  (Early 70's)  They used the barracks near CFSAOE and dressed them up as offices to look like a US naval base.

I grew up in PMQ's, from Marville, France to Lahr, Germany to Cold Lake AB and then to Borden.  The PMQ's we were in at Cold lake were brand new (we were the first occupants) and Dad, being somewhat of a handyman, did finish the basement.  Workshop, playroom, laundry room etc. but since the job...

RHLI1: I was a member of the 1RCR Corps of Drums from '79 to '86.  I'm probably the guy that X Royal was referring to in his post above.  Feel free to PM me anytime. Pro Patria

This was back in Aug. '83 during the Regimental Centennial celebrations.   Naturally, as Col.-In-Chief, H.R.H. Prince Phillip was on hand for the Trooping of the Colours and all the other parades that were going on at CFB London at the time.   After one parade on the base, there was a...

**Bump** Back to Norway again. I was 2i/c of 32Alpha in a defensive position on the side of a mountain somewhere when the pl. WO comes by to let us know that the QM was back with the resupply.   Naturally as 2i/c I went down to carry loads back up to the tents.   Also naturally, since I was...

That's why four out of five dentists recommend He11's Angels. Came up with some more ... "My gang, I think I'll keep them." "...I just saved a bunch of money on my continue-to-do-business insurance (by switching to Angels)." "In the Valley of the Jolly ...Ho! Ho! Ho! He11's Angels." "We do...

But they offer "full" dental work.

From the CTV.ca website: http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1103225211845_98634411 I thought that the slogan "Still fighting for democracy and freedom" was a little over the top considering that it kind of puts them on our, er ... â Å“turf.â ? :blotto: In that regard, I...
