To everyone on the board,
I‘m a former Adm Clerk (831) who did time with the Militia (the Lincoln and Welland Regiment), the Navy (HMCS Saguenay), then two Army postings (Cdn Land Forces Comd & Staff College, then 1st Cdn Sigs Regiment) before getting out in 1991.
I must confess that even now, over a decade since I left the CF (and half a decade since I left Canada to work as a teacher in Korea), there are many times that I miss a lot of the good things working in the military presented to me.
It‘s been a while since I‘ve delved into military affairs on a serious basis. **** , I suppose I got seriously disenchanted when the whole Somalia disaster came down and cost us the Airborne (and before anyone asks, as far as I was concerned, then and now, disbanding the Airborne was just another of the moronic decisions the idiots in the Land of Oz unleashed on good people who only wanted to do what they were trained to do!).
Even now, picking through issues of The Maple Leaf when I visit the DND homepage, I just can‘t begin to BELIEVE the changes that‘ve hit the CF over the last decades.
Do any of you folks out there rather miss the days when things were a lot simpler?
Cheers!
Fred
