Here's a pic from the first battalion level AVGP course ran in the fall of 79 for 1RCR in Ipperwash.
This pic is of the sect. I was in and if memory serves me correctly it was taken by our sec comd. Sgt Green.

Can you name us. Honestly I do not know all the names.

Best Wishes: Rick

BJ:
How you doing it's been a few years since we've talked.
Cobblestone sure dosn't ring a bell. There are 4 on the turret with arms on knees, which one are you reffering to? I know 2 for sure.

Well old dog the one that I think is cobblestone is the one on top with his left knee up and both arms resting across it. I would tell you the number but for some reason I can no longer see the photo.

Stay safe

I know the identity of the 2 sitting on the turret, the one in the drivers hatch & the one standing behind the driver. The others I'm not sure of but may recognize the names if I heard them. Its been 27 years.
BJ you may be right I'm not sure.
Mike if you are refering to the guy sitting on the turret on the far right of the pic, no it is not Terry Hanna.
Seems there was a problem with the pic hosting site but now working OK.

Kenny Cobblestone.....now there is a name I have not heard since Jack Lyle used it to drive him up the wall during our TQ3 in 74. Poor Kenny developed a complex with Jack and Phil Johnson always qualify everything as "Kenny Copplestone and his Mom's apple pie" What a hoot.

Jim: Pretty good. You got Dave Prepper, myself and Reg Dugas/Dugay really not exactly sure of the spelling. Jim are you sure you don't recognize the guy sitting on the front of the turret? He was one of your WO's, 10 years later in 1989 on Snowgoose 52.
Randy: You got me right but, I believe the second person is not Rick Carrier. He was on the same course, but in another section if I remember correctly. But it does sort of look like him.  Not sure on those standing to my left.
Mike: Not sure you may be right.

Best Wishes: Rick

As I said I didn't think it was Rick Carrier but there is a bit of a  likeness.
As for the guy on the turret try - Mark Miller.
