Saw some geezer in the bar a few months ago trying to hide all the Canada velcro with XX Sqn badges, so I went over for a chat, to see if he'd enjoyed it as much as I had. "Rubbish" came the surprising reply "Was there for 6 months and made it to Edmonton twice". When we were there, they gave us some time off (due to snow/course timing issues) so we bought a van, went to the airport and started our tour of Canada. Started at the Falls, did Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary, Head-Smashed-in-Buffalo-Jump (nothing there!), Banff and Vancouver.
What I'm trying to say is that when you leave Freezing Puddle and start your OCU, the opportunities in the Air Force to do such things get less and less, so make the most of it! Not sure where you are on the course, but get out and about, get on those sno-mobiles (hey, Bombardier even build those too......) etc etc. Not many people get the opportunity, but enjoy it to the full!!!!
All the best boys and we'll see you in Blighty soon!!!!
