Hi BJ and Tim

How do you like my paint job? No BJ it's not Wainwright. Yes it is CFB Suffeild Tim! The Ex was called MEDICINE HAT.

Hi Jim:

Wainwright, Suffield, Dundurn, Shilo; they were all the same. Western Canadian sand, badlands, buttes, mesas, coulees.
I exercised in all of them and can still feel their flavour.

Hi Abe

Yes I agree but there is a difference in Wainwright and Suffield. In Wainwright you have trees and in Suffield you don't have as many. LOLOL

Hi Jim and Tim. When I got posted back to 2RCR in 1988 I was slated for H Coy. I just missed them because they went to Suffield. They had the C7 since late 1987 from what the storeman told me at the time.
