Congratulations Recce41. I started that route 22 yrs ago with the first one, and the next three all in the last 5 yrs. One little bit of advice if you don't know already, start buying replacement refridgerator hinges now, before the price goes up.  ;D All the best  Drummy

Hi Old Sweat, Similar to you, I went to 6PD, and was there Mon-Thur, leave but then off to Camp Petawawa for Basic. This happened a year before your experience(You youngster you  ;D). On s side note, after basic, I was postd into a 1200 all ranks battalion. Oh my how things have changed.  :(...

Hi all, It's in the sig.    ;D Drummy

Well, I was born in Toronto, but lived most of my youth in Brampton and Palgrave, Ont. Joined the army and went to Petawawa, Ottawa, and then Oromocto, Since retiring, I have been living in the metropolis of Swan Creek, NB which has a population of 100-110 depending on how many people are in...

OK, just to lighten things up a little(depends on your sense of humor. I suppose): There are three religious truths: a. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah. b. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian faith. c. Baptists do not recognize each other in the...

Hi BobbyC, I started with $98.00 per month in 56. Couldn't believe how much money I had. At the end of every month, I had about $5.00 left. When I retired as a Sgt, I was making about $3200.00 per month, and at the end of the month, I had about $5.00 left.   ;D   It's all relative, isn't it...

Was the Regimental Drum Major of two different Infantry Regiments plus the DM of the Central Band in Ottawa. Formal = Drum Major. Informal = Drummy. Drummy

Muskrat89, Just noticed your post this evening. I'm a long time NB resident, now retired and living in Swan Creek. I don't know if you knew him or not(you probably did), but Ab Rector passed away about a month or 6 weeks ago. Heart problems IIRC. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news     Drummy

Don't know about that. This happened in 1956 for me.  ;)  Not sure of the other fellow.  All the best    Drummy

Good Morning OS, I could be wrong, and thats been know to happen,  :D  but I thought that the Heller broke down into two peices, and was stored/transported in a case of some sort. That's a lot of years ago though.  ;D All the best    Drummy

Hi, 4 days.  ;D  I can't remember who it was, but somwone else on these forums was 3 days.

Mike and Wannabe, Thank you very much. I had a feeling that that's what it might be. I just didn't want to look like a fool talking about some photo that wasn't there. LOL All the best    Drummy

Hi, I have been trying to include a JPG (48.2 kb) in a post, and nothing has appeared in the preview. This is what I have done so far(twice now): 1. click on reply(type some text) 2. click on Additional Options 3. click on Browse (to indicate photo file) 4. click on Open 5. click on Preview...

Ammotech, You don't know what you're asking ! I can't even remember what I had for breakfast this morning, and you want me to tell you something that was happening about 46 years ago.    ;D   All I can remember is that it was a rectangular box about 10-12" wide, 6" front to back, and about 4-6"...

Ammotech, We used them in Germany 57-59.(and before & after)  IIRC it fired a 3.2" rocket with a shaped charge head, which when it hit the side of a tank for example, bored about a 1/2"-1" hole through the armour, and then spewed out molten metal through the hole and spread it inside. Wouldn't...

My thought ? I had a quick enrolment(4 days) and after 27+ years decided it wasn't for me.    ;D Drummy

Old Sweat, I laugh sometimes, but I often refer to that period as "The Good Old Days".   $98.00 per month, room, and all the food you could eat, 25 cent cigs and 10 cent beer in the wets. Because I was single, $25.00 was automatically sent to my mother every month. She didn't need it and sent...
