well said recceguy  :salute:

a good childhood friend of mine left the COATS (hope I got that right; was the CIC when I retired from the regs) before Christmas after many years as a CIC officier. She  left for Saint Jean this week as a pte (recruit) to start her basic. I'll be 50 in a couple months, so she'll be 49 sometime...

I dunno; I did recruit applicant medicals out of Gagetown & Fredericton from 02 until 06; then at NCSM JOLLIET, Sept-Iles, with the reserves from 06 until 010; 75% most of the applicants I talked with always wanted to be a pilot...  ;)

Bathurst Crappy Tire?

My first posting was to London in 82 as an infanteer. Stories sitting in the snake pit at the JR's mess had talk of tunnel under skunk's hollow ( by the main gate in front of the officiers mess).  Never seen them, nor had anyone else I knew of my 6 years there. Now stories of 'The Beef Baron'...

Well, from 1RCR in the early & mid 80's: we always had a BBQ and-or smoker in the field after end-ex, usually a few days before heading home (when most gear was packed & ready to go); Pet, Ipperwash, Norway, Wainwright (after RV's), etc, etc, etc. Sure there were sometimes a couple games of...

Not trying to discourage or being an -hole, but can you live comfortably without it (brace) above & beyond  normal civilan type training? (5km and more pt runs; 10 k ruck marches; carrying heavy loads; sports; etc) Can you live without re-injuring or a better-than-normal chance of aggrevating...

It was recommended by the DO to have my wisdom removed before I went on tour. (I only had 2 upper,my bottom two never came in). They were only a nuisance at the time; no serious problem, though some in my family did have issues with wisdom teeth (impaction, etc) I went ahead & had them removed...

S,  I wish there was a 'like' option for these posts...  :camo: what MM said...    :nod:

My doctor agreed with this, noting that technically everybody should carry an EpiPen in that case because really nobody knows exactly what they're allergic to. ...'technically' by that reasoning, then we should all carry O2 tanks, tric kits... I've been retired from the regs out of CFRC...
