Hi, I joined in 1956 and was never issued/wore a ruck that looked anything like that one. I was in Germany from 1957-59, and worked with German, British, and Belgique forces, and don't recall seeing anything like that at all. Mind you, that was a long long time ago. All the best  Drummy

Hey there ryguyrocks, I would be interested in knowing what a  Cheif warant officer- sergeant is. That's what is in your profile. If you are a Chief Warrant Officer with 12 years service, why can't you spell better than that, and/or use the spellchecker. It also states  2919 CFB BORDEN...

Hi, I have a hard time getting my head around some of the crap you people are going through. I joined the Army in 4 day(1956), and my remuster(1960) (CT ?) took 3 days to complete. Remuster might have been helped along by the fact that the losing RSM and the gaining RSM were the ones doing all...

Hi, I had 27 years in the Military, and I don't understand half of what you people are talking about.  ;D  Mind you, I've been out for over 22 yrs now. I can imagine the confusion a civilian faces when first starting out in this forum. All the best    Drummy

Hi, I was overseas for two years(57-59), but never in a combat situation, Because of that, we were paid the grand total of $7.75 per month(taxable). After taxes, and at 4 DM to the $, we were left with enough to buy about 14 beer, or 7 cartons of smokes.  All the best  Drummy

Hi, When I finished Recruit Training in 1957, I was posted to the 2nd Bn Cdn Gds. At that time Jim was the Drill Sergeant Major(DSM) of the Battalion, and later, of course, promoted to WO1 and appointed RSM. I found that he was the kind of soldier who would back up his subordinates all the way...
