Hey, what's up? I was here as a young whippersnapper cadet, then an infantry reservist until '07, and now sworn back in 18 years later.

What did I miss?

Wow, so, 18 years, eh? Well, where to start:

Afghanistan. Don't ask.
Like the show "the Apprentice"? Wait until you see who's president.
Oh, and the Leafs still haven't won the cup. But the Argonauts have won 4 Grey cups in that span. And the Toronto Raptors won the NBA championship one year.

Other than that, things are fine...

Uniforms, badges and facial hair. Ya know, the things the military considers important.

We still haven’t figured out definitively if gloves and toques can be worn with temperate rain gear…

We don't roll up our sleeves anymore.

We still have the tac vest.

The entire combat uniform has changed, except for the underwear.

Well you missed the replacement of the C3 Howitzers, wait scratch that.......

You missed getting a IFV to keep up with the tanks, no sorry scratch that as well.

We were getting of the tanks but now we are keeping and upgrading them, eventually...

You missed the replacement of the Griffons, sigh scratch that......

New rank symbols and names, yes you very much missed that!!!

And tattoos - but not the musical kind.
