One of our SLQ‘s is jokingly called a pharmacy.
Did you see it, or is it just another rumour ?Originally posted by CFL:

I fully agree with you there, I definately did not mean to insinuate that those tested represented the whole battalion.We shouldn‘t extrapolate that 2/3 of the members of the Battalion are drug users based on that small sample.
The Medak Pocket was in ‘93. The hazing video‘s had not been released yet. The public was focused on the incident in Somalia. It was a couple of Patricia‘s that tortured a kid to death in Somalia.Not to point fingers but let‘s remember this is the second time the VanDoos have embarrassed the forces in front of full media coverage. The first time put the final nail in the Airborne‘s coffin. Everyone does stupid things but do these guys try to have the entire country as an audience everytime they screw up. What will be the fallout this time? And how many years will it take this time around for Canadians to stop treating our soldiers like criminals? For those of you who were around, I‘m sure you remember the country pretending the boys coming back from Medak Pocket didn‘t even exist because of the fallout from the Airborne. They certainly didn‘t get the respect that they deserved and support that they needed. And the public was actually starting to get past the incident in Somalia when the VanDoos hazing tapes came out and decimated any respectability the Airborne had left. All of our troops got painted with the same paintbrush. Let‘s hope history is not about to repeat itself.
I,d rather be short one man in my Platoon then be stuck with a pothead.Originally posted by CFL:
[qb] I think if they do that and 5F all the positive cases we are going to be even more seriously undermanned. [/qb]
