Do you remember the name of your horse, George? What ever became of him? ;D

Beelzebub was my tank (23C) in my driving days.

I rember hearing somewhere that when the 8ch were in Pet they called RCD Hill just that, however in those days Juliet Tower was called Hussar Tower and noone calls it that anymore(except Leo Bernard)

There were 2 towers in Petawawa. One is Julliet and the other was Hussar. The Hussar one is long gone. Got to get back to Pet, Got to get back to Pet, Got to get back to Pet. Damn I said it three times and clicked my heels, I'm still in Gagetown.

To the boys of C Sqn (90-92),

I was leading 2 Tp, 22 Fd Sqn and we worked with you folks quite a bit in those hazy days of the early 90s.  Lots of traces up the lawfield corridor.  Lots of driving Leopards through mine tape ('cause it ain't really an obstacle).  Until we 'caught' a Leo in 'real' crater group on the Otnabog in '91!

Lots of good memories, even RV 92 in the snow!

Here's to all the Leo crews that passed down a warm cuppa to a tired and dirty Sapper from your cozy hide in Butterfly Wood!

Sapper6,

Greets to you. The old days of 22Field and C Sqn were great. I remember that we used to have the annual sports day competition. Lot's of fun and lot's of beer! I never hit any mine tape...honest!

Had a lot of fun with 22 Field Sqn- trained together, hoisted a few... one of my favourites was trg days- they drove our Leopards, we got to blow stuff up- loads of fun!

I was the end result of several bets between our Battle Captain and others- the 22 Fd Sqn bet included an attempt by Leo to bridge a tank ditch. We were unsuccesful, but only due to time.....proved that an obstacle does require cover fire, and also proved that our Engineers knew how to build obstacles!

Another bet was the time required to change a power pack. We won that bet, changing engine, transmission, and cooling system in under 20 minutes...!!!

We worked pretty hard in the old days, spent a lot of time in the field, but overall had a lot of fun when we could.

Cheers-Garry

Yes, I remember those days well Leo 1.   The drinking policy was certainly much less stringent back then.   :-X

However, I think we did some excellent training - especially the live fire stuff attacking the Soviet Pl defensive posn!
