well 45 pounds = about 72 loonies so that should get me plenty of crotch fresh key rings and butt fresh posters and even a signed t-shirt or perhaps a little something more special
Fill your boots; there are a lot of beautiful Québec girls stripping out west.

mate - i need to chat to you offline about Internet access and Cellphones etc.
the Army have given me a pack but it's always better to speak to the locals about such stuff.
talk soon pal.
i was just thinking - you guys would earn a fortune if you came to the UK.
do you know any of the Canadian Forces officers who are moving to the UK when the ARRC moves from Germany?
You are right APOD I am not a serving soldier... Thank god, I enjoy a more relaxed command structure now,less bull . hurry up and wait, and dont miss the co inspections ...and i dont do a great job only a paid job, but i try to be on the good guys side most of the time, the thing in DRC is no one knows who are the good or bad guys..
Jesus it must be a blue moon or something but i am inclined to agree with you again.Funny old world eh
reminds me of my mate from 2PARA who was travelling back to London in the early 90's from R&R in the US who had to divert to Shannon due to a problem with the aircraft.
that would have been fine when the pilot announced the diversion, however imagine my mates dismay as he was sat there in a maroon t-shirt with the Parachute Regiment logo on the front and 2PARA printed on the back!
needless to say he had to turn his t-shirt inside out before they landed incase he wasn't offered the usual cead mile failte!!
I didnt think there would be any difference in the cead mile failte offered to Americans or Canadians-
whats your say on this Jungle- urban legend or is it true.
if its true its a crock of shit
I have never transited through Shannon, but the times I have transitted elsewhere we did not have special restrictions. Normally, if we are in location long enough, we are free to enjoy the local hospitality; but there could be some restrictions I don't know about in some locations.
Jungle a freind of mine ( not the usual bullshitters I hang out with) who works in a fairly high civil service position told me that at a briefing he was told that when Canadian troops transit through Ireland
their conditions are much stricter than the Americans- by conditions I mean that if they hit shannon
they cant do this cant do that etc etc-

but Canada Rocks - especially with the money you are on Jungle!
Dude, you will not hear me complain... but I'm the equivalent of an E-8, so very close to the top of the NCM pay scale.
My son is a Pte though, and he is doing OK; earning much better money then when I was there !!!
The CF have been working at becoming an "employer of choice" for some time, and they are getting there. Our conditions and terms of service are very good. I have 10 years left, and I have been offered a commission, so I will likely finish my time as a Captain. The plan is for me to get the commission at the end of the upcoming tour in Afg.
