Maj. Currie once ordered me to change kit with an an acrtic ranger (Joe Friday) in Eskimo Point NWT. He wore my Parka and wind pants for the day and i wore his seal skins, they began calling me Pte. Mukluk. This nick name still circulates from time to time in some circles, and in Mortar platoon i used to eaves drop on o groups when ever i could and this earned me the nick name "Scoop". Where are ya Eric? I'm pretty sure we all had nicknames that where spoken quietly and not to our faces as well.

Hi Guys

Buzz you're right MAD Murray. I just was talking to Randy "Quazi Moto" Watts on the phone and he reminded me of an Officer with a nickname of "Peanuts".
What was his name?

And for the soldiers of Ipperwash how about Jimmy's The ONE Rangers?
What was his name?
