Jim

Do you remember how cold it was in Earlton that winter ex.I had Neil Reece as my section commander and we had all reserves in our section.It was so cold in the grizzly,s because we had so much gear it was blocking the heater.I remember how we had to keep taking each person out of the vehicle to a house so that they could warm up.By the end of the exercise there was only Neil myself and the driver.It was quite the ex.

I had forgotten how cold that one was.  Fond memories though.
