Are they seriously marching/doing the drill to The Final Countdown by Europe?

LOL, I don't think you checked the dates on thsoe posts.
Have fun though.Koenigsegg- LOL, yup. The same. We were thrilled. "Final Countdown" had been a running joke in our platoon already, then we found out that was to be the song.
BernDawg- the last initial is correct, not sure about the first one. I never learned his first name. Likes to tell you "Either drink less beer, or drink more!" as one of his quirky sayings. Feel free to PM me if you want the last name. Seems you're familiar with him?

Haha!
That is Awesome! It made the drill even cooler, it had me doing a little head bang as I was watching. It was also funny thinking about what you people were thinkin' when you decided to use that song.
Good show, if ever have the chance to see you guys in person I will jump at it.

Alright everyone,
I figure Remembrance Day seems like the perfect day to me to have a Meet & Greet. Gives everyone a chance to respect the fallen, the veterans, and those who have served. After everyone's settled down from parade and maybe a few pints in the legion, perhaps you'd care to grab a few pints elsewhere.
Might I suggest Darcy McGee's on Sparks and Elgin. 8:00PM.
So come on people, give me some feedback and let me know if this is a viable option.

I had already suggested that we have an army.ca delegation at the remembrance day ceremony but no one seemed too keen on that idea: http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/52528.0.html
I'll be attending the ceremony but , cannot make the meet and greet because I'm about 7 months shy of being able to go to a bar, damn the leagal drinking age. :brickwall:

I'll see if I can steer my buddies towards Darcy's that evening. We'll still be in uniform, in all likelihood, so watch for the flood of kilts. Last remembrance day was a good night after the parade. This year I'm actually legal, so it should be even better. It will definitely be a night where some overdue toasts can be raised.

Boy, you guys make me feel old! snicker. But, since your just turning legal, I have some friendly advice.
Drink responsibly.
I can remember a few moose milk afternoons... anyhow, the grog has a way of catching up on you, specially when the toast zones runs a bit too long and the booze of free. Nothing worse then seeing a soldier in uniform staggering around downtown on a day every civilian in the nation is watching, eh? We have an image to uphold, particularly during a time of war. And, of course, we must respect, through our actions, those who have paid the ultimate price...
BTW... don't, under any circumstances, drive home!
Hey, you guys should order an army.ca t-shirt and wear them! After all, this is is where you met, yes?

Where: Patty Boland's (101 Clarence Street) (http://www.pattybolands.com/)
When: 2230h, 10 Feb 07 (...yea, ok well we all knew it would be this year)
Who: YOU! I strongly encourage all who are available to show up. I've been to two M&G's in Ottawa and so far; both were great. Patty Boland's is a nice place to drink, and its big, which means there should be plenty of room for us. Since its a large pub I am not going to bother making a reservation unless an unusually large amount (>6) of you show interest, in which case I will.
RSVP and let me know who is coming, and I hope to see you there.
(Edit: corrected the date.)

A fountain Mud has been seeking since his unbirthday >
All in all, we've always had a good time at the meets. Although lesson from the last one (Which ended with myself, Rice, and HoM in a place of ill-repute, without the benefit of our police escorts) is that we'll have to exchange a few key Cel numbers when the date gets closer.

I am getting greyer by the month, and HLs is kind enough to bring light to the fact a few times each week. Perhaps I need to add to this unbirthday process...
