Vernon Staff 2005

[q_1966]

Who wants to do staff in Vernon, if so, which position are you applying for?

 

[Docherty]

D-Coy Warrant Officer.

 

[ouyin2000]

Applied for CSM Candidate, hopefully will get C-Coy or HQ CSM

will be my 3rd year of staff at vernon

 

[Docherty]

I am sure you will get C-Coy, last years CSM didn't have the highest standards  :

i applied as Vernon staff plt WO. it was my 3rd choice though so i probably wont be going there.

 

[q_1966]

If I dont go to Basic (Trying to get into the CF) I want to be the C-Coy Freshie Man,

Ouch thats harsh.  MWO Crossland was a very good RSM.  He tried his hardest to break the Charlie curse, and even though he failed I still have an unbaliveable amount of respect for him.

How about the C-Coy CSM, 2003, Escobar, I will never forget the time he swore at us... and by us, i mean most of the company, It was an intresting motivational speech.

 

[ouyin2000]

oh geeze, dont even get me started on him

he was the outgoing RSM for my new corps when i transferred here in October '04

Okay fine I'll give you that.  2004 was my first time at camp, I went right into CL, so I never knew Escobar at the CSM level, I just knew him as a very mean HQ warrant, and he was my warrant's friend I supposed.  But yeah i really hated Escobar, but like I said, Crossland was a really good CSM

"He tried his hardest to break the Charlie curse, and even though he failed"

Whats this all about? How long has it been around? I was a Plt WO in C Coy in 76 and 77

 

[Docherty]

I have never heard of any curse.

 

[ouyin2000]

the charlie curse: from what i heard, as a  course cadet in C coy in 2000 was that charlie had never won the Weekly COs Pennant fora good many years...meaning that C coy was never the best out of the battalion

 

[Dane]

It's the CL except for Delta curse lol. Ive never seen Echo or Charlie win.

 

[Zedic_1913]

Blackdown would fly 3 pennants each week, I'm pretty sure it was best basic company, best 6 week company (CL or CLI), and best band company.  To even the odds a bit.

 

[022 AD Gunner]

Just a question to the young troops.

Does Vernon still have a "Foxtrot Sqn"?

From an old guy?

 

[Docherty]

F-Coy was taken away a few years ago, but it is coming back this summer as a Basic Coy again.

 

[pi-r-squared]

Are you guys sure that Charlie never won the pennant recently because I thought they got it once or twice in '02.

 

[022 AD Gunner]

Back in the day!!!!
When I was there in 1988 the Air cadets moved into Vernon Foxtrot into a Sqn, we had 2 SSM,s that summer. The first was fired after 1 week.

 

[ouyin2000]

Foxtrot was Basic in '01, but they got rid of it when i went for staff in '03 and '04...their bringing it back this summer though
