Busted a gut laughing at that.  ;D Gnplummer :cdn:

I worked on those Cougar Gun systems for many years, and it is definitely too violent of a recoil for that turret. The Buffer and recuperator were fairly short and small for that Calibre. We had one go on the range in Pet once, not a pretty sight. Sheared the pistons Bobbins off the Breech...

I too sent letters to my local NDP guy, the NDP main website, and Jack himself. However, I may have offended said party with some steaming comments which may have diluted the effect of said letters. I cannot repeat the contents here, but let's just say that perhaps in the future I will...

Hi, I applied for, and received a pardon for an offence committed while in the Military.(late 80's) It took 18 months all told. Afterwards, my Admin Officer accompanied me to the MP shack, and my record was cleared. Somewhere in Ottawa, it is still in some database, but will not show up in a...

Excellent reading, well done! :salute: Gnplummer :cdn:

Yup, that's right exactly. I too felt compelled to write the NDP with regards to Jellyback Jack's comments, but my words were not quite as politically correct I'm afraid  ;D Gnplummer421 :cdn:

I remember a Sgt-Major standing behind me on parade asking me " Does this hurt?"., confused, I asked "What do you mean sir?"...to which he replied.."I'm standing on your f@$&**g hair!" Gnplummer :cdn:

Sometimes I like to throw my raw emotion out there before I read..but I see your point. Thanks.

Police - "Ghost in the Machine" Mark Knopfler - "Golden Heart" Scorpions - "Crazy World" Mmm I think I just gave away my age. ;D

Although I didn't read any of the previous posts on this subject, I still want to put my 2 cents in. In light of the fact that our Government decided to do this without any regard for debate or others opinion, I'm going to go ahead and buy my own Flagpole and put a Canadian flag on it. Then I...

I agree with the "press" issue. I'm starting to get a burnt out feeling trying to absorb all the information regarding this issue. (firefight) I don't know which of the various newspaper/TV news reports/articles to believe anymore. At least on this forum there is a common feeling and sense of...

Sigh - I'm paying again this year :'( -  It does not pay to work a lot of overtime. Also too little tax taken off my Miltary pension, but I'd rather make up and break even with RRSP contributions. Luckily I was able to claim out of pocket medical/dental expenses (both daughters braces in 2005)...

Yes, I was the Wpns Tech for A sqn during that time, lost contact with Les Saltel (Rosser)( remember him?) a couple of years back. I went over to Germany in 87 and went to C sqn. All the names you mentioned sound familiar. Gnplummer :cdn:

Wow! Archie Morrell?  Man was he in the Armoured Corps 87-91 in Germany? I know this guy... if anyone talks to him, my old landlord in Zunsweir, Germany never could figure out why he was lying under the wine barrel tap in the cold storage room at my apartment, and why he didn't use a glass ...

The subject title states that the Canadian Public doesn't want our troops in A-stan. I just joined the "Globe and Mail" website's forums.The reason? Too many people slamming our mission, and I wanted a say. I seem to be outnumbered and need your help. If anyone can spare the time, please read...

My experience with Unions is that they protect the weak and lazy, and people with superior skill cannot advance past someone with more seniority, even if the more senior person is a slug. Funny, but in a contradiction of employment, I actually worked as a Security guard (Steelworkers Union) and...

Some facts I googled of the area where he fought; Helmand Province - one of 34 Provinces which make up Afghanistan. Population: 1,011,600 Capital: Lashkar gah  (America built a hydroelectric dam in the 1960's and irrigated parts of the City - abandoned in 1978 when the Communists took over)...

My condolences go to the young family of Pte. Costall, I will pray for you. :salute: :cdn: :salute:

In my days, we had two Wpns Techs in an APC MRT in Germany with the Tanks, in which case you have to do all the Driver Maintenance, tighten tracks etc. as well as navigate and do Map work. I spent time driving as a Cpl and Crew Commander as a Mcpl. I loved the night Navs, and sometimes the Sgt...
