+mrcpu Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 I did 5 years in the Lorne Scots C Coy Georgetown, Ontario. Primary trade was infantry and my secondary trade was 81 mm mortar. It was lots of fun! Got to blow stuff up and shoot automatic rifles and get paid for it! I would still be in today but unfortunatly school/first marriage conflicted :-( Rob Mobile Cache Command Quote Link to comment

Cache Canucks Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 I'm surprised that 'mrcpu' didn't markwell to one of his previous polls. Although the poll wasn't specifically asking for 'Canadians' with military service, you'll still find several responses from us (including my own) there. Quote Link to comment

Team Cache-away Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Thanks for the view of the badge GPComd, I was in Petawawa, same regiment 82-85 then remustered to SAR Tech. Retired in 2001 they said they needed me in Winnipeg and I had to go, I agreed, I had to go, so I left, retirement looked a hell of a lot better than Winterpeg. Geocaching, Golf and a monthly alimony cheque from Ottawa, Life is good. Quote Link to comment
