Hi guys. I think its about time I looked up some old buddies. CFB Cornwallis Course #8943
9 Platoon
Was anyone stationed there in 1989?.
My name is Darren Johns, and Im looking for old RCR or PPCLI buddies that I lost contact with.
ANY help would be eternally appreciated. We were the last platoon to use the FN rifle.
Thx guys, Darren

Anyone heard of Sam Oldfield (PPCLI) ? :cdn: :army:
 
I was there in ‘89. 6 platoon (Suicide Six). I can‘t remeber the course number though (8928 I think)...I went on to the LDSH in Calgary after getting out of there.

I‘m going to continue this thread and hope the author doesn‘t mind...post your course, maybe there are others around.

Here‘s mine: 8845, 10 platoon.
 
I dont mind at all. Keeping in touch with our fellow patriots is why I started the post.

I remember Leo Marsh, aka Little Hitler. Never had him as an NCO though. Still word gets around.

I also rember going to the Green and Gold for the first time with boots bloused.
 
8746 1 Plt then posted back to Cornwallis as a medic in 88.  Remember Leo Marsh well.  He is now a firefighter, unsure of where or if still in.  Last saw him in Edmonton back in 96.
 
8842    Oct17,1988 to Dec 16, 1988
12 platoon
" We Reign in this Domain"
Mixed bag of Navy,Artillery and Armoured....
Had W/O Northrup as well....
MCpl White...
little french recruit....Servais I believe. That boy could do push/sit ups like nobody I have ever seen since.
But get him to run 1/4 mile and he passed out every time....remember that guys?
 
8430: 11 Platoon, "c squad" - top of the hill in the House of the Rising Sun. MS Hoy (O'Boats.), Mcpl Spence (PPCLI).
 
8919 - nine platoon was the last to use the fn riffles
perhaps you had to carry them around and make bang bang noises.....
