No pics Mike...the ex didn't get the house, but she did grab ALL my photo albums... Undecided
I was on the last course before repat..Feb-Mar. '84
Dave Halloran, Capt. Pennington, Dave Gibbs, Dumas, Steve (Rosie) Saunders, are some names I know were on my course.

Looks like a scan of your badge...so I take it not all courses issued the same badge..Huh

Charlie lutz  here.I was just reading your messages on the board and ,man its hard too believe,but since I left the regiment I have come too realize ,what a first class bunch of guys I have had the privledge too know.I read a letter rick kieser wrote to his friend and supervisor,and I thought ,my god were all grown up it appears. Great job rick.Your still as cool as ever,I mean that with all sincerity.ANd  WAyne I was on the mat during the fr5ench commando course too.Some things I regret.But as long as I live I'll never regret.My time as a member of the ROYAL CANADIAN REGIMENT,or such great guys as Gene russo,Rick Kieser,Steve Dillman,Rod Thomas,Dave Livingstone,just too name a few.The regiment and all my friends in those days have shaped who I am today,and brother its been a long road,but I remember every one and how effortlessly they all made me feel a part of something I  till this day have not felt.Nor do I expect too.I think my 5 year old boy would sure like to thank some of you for keeping his dad safe in them days.I have lived long enough too appreciate what 11 years in the Army realy meant too me        thanks guys   charlie
