The reasons for making a thread a 'sticky' are not for re-unions and such - sorry - otherwise we would have loads of 'em. Best I can suggest is that you bring it back when you see it is running away (off the page).

Cdr Canadian Forces Kinloss (ComCanForsKin) is well established - please don't alert the PC brigade to change it
Another acronym in place after recent change is - OC Under Water Battle Space Management (OCUWBSM) - simply known for more than 40 years as OC MAAU !
Others tried over the years were:
Trg Off to teach Naval On-Board Systems (NOBS) - not supported
Trg Off to teach Fleet Anti-Radiation Tactics (FARTS) - given a miss
One of the best was a plan to replace the Command Training Team (CTT) which worked alongside Gp Stds Unit (GSU) and the Sqn Trg Teams (STT's)
Suggestion was Training Wing Assessment Team (****) - which for some reason was not supported given the personalities involved, and became Training Sqn Assessment Team (TSAT) - doesn't quite ring well!
There were others, which usually accompanied a "new broom", and are long forgotten, thankfully

Well boys & Girls
It may be time to tell the lovely ladies of Buckie, New Elgin Caravan Park and the Patch to dust off their best pair of leggings and break out the tummy reducing pants. There are rumours that they have decided to send me back to the frozen tundra that is ISK. I have yet to confirm that it is a return ticket mind you, but I look forward to catching up with you 'orrible lot over a choice ale or 10.

I remember well the 30th VPI reunion in Greenwood, a great night, and I am sure the ISK event will be just as good.
