Im getting old. One might even say too old to go to war anymore. (Look at the ages of the average LCol in theatre later in Ww1 and 2). My legacy, in the twilight of my career, is training the troops I command to contribute to the safety and security of Canada and the world. So many hands are going up - UNIFER, REASSURANCE… not to mention the annual LENTUS, CADENCE, NANOOK, even iso PALACI. My unit is the largest in my brigade, and spread over a distance equivalent to the distance between Paris and Warsaw. I don’t see them all as much as I’d like, but I couldn’t be prouder of the contributions they are making to the CAF and their willingness to deploy.

@JasonCroswell @brycepugh @DirtyLeg79 There are two cap badges mentoring ANP in these photos in early 2010. Tell me which are which.

@YOWmom4 One hopes.

@erinotoole @InvictusGames25 I’m going to have to check it out one year. Looks amazing.

@RCAF_TACNAV Yeah, I’m done. My points have been made.

@LeafandThistle

@CF101B @BobJohnson81638 Congrats to all the gunners of the Regt!

@russ2dfx

@brihard @YVRSerpico Still can’t believe it’s a thing…

@brihard @YVRSerpico It’s a favourite pastime of mine. :)

@rpoirier29 All good!👍

@brihard @YVRSerpico Correct.

@George773626 So actually no - x2. But with a special inspection visit in between.

@OfficerStephen I’ve heard it’s a bit of a party…

@JohnDra78544334 To be clear, I’m not trying to denigrate anyone’s service. Merely putting the uniform on is an exercise in citizenship that 99% of our country people do not participate in. But my point stands.
