[armyvern]

I'm sure that the troops will deeply appreciate that little taste of home!

Here is the story

except from article:

"Whether there's an actual Tim Hortons (store) or not, it does allow us to identify with home.''

He said the coffee stand will be very handy during late night or early morning patrols and when troops need something to remind them of home.

"Let's paint a scenario of a patrol going out of Kandahar. It could be 2 a.m. ... and this would be several hours before deploying. Quite conceivably they would attend ... with a coffee in hand because it is ... semi-informal, and what people do at 2 a.m. is drink coffee,'' he said.

Like it will be open that late for those who patrol at 0200 in the am....

Yeah, I'll believe it when someone puts the first picture of a KAF served Tim's on this site.

good story painswessex......
while I think it would be even better to have Timmy's coffee served (gratis) in the Mess Kitchen (like they have on HMCShips) - I guess this is the next best thing.
Wonder if they are going to have a drive thru window designed for LAVIIIs?
..... whups - potholes and spilled coffee.... don't do like the old lady from California - put the coffee cup between her thighs and ended up with 3rd degree burns from the coffee :warstory:

 

[Franko]

Never thought I'd ever see the day.....saw it on A Channel Ottawa.

As for them being open at 0200.....I'll believe it when I see it.

who is going to serve the finely brewed coffee? I personaly think a couple of MAXIM girls in bikinis would be nice ( and a equally attractive guy for the ladies)

 

[Armymedic]

As you are Navy....are you sure the

equally attractive guy for the ladies

is just for the ladies?

 

[geo]

nope
Afghans in Burquas?

The KBR kitchens have even managed to get salad wrong.  We don't need them touching Timmies.

 

[geo]

Hmmmm............
Call me skeptical but: Do you think some Nepalese or Roumanian will be able to do better?

 

[McG]

So far they are making much better coffee than KBR. 

. . . but, I'm still content to brew it myself.

A little taste of home. The company is one class operation to support the troops like this.

 

[Pearson]

"Although Joyce sold his share of the chain in 2003, he received a personal inquiry from Canadian General Rick Hiller about expanding the chain to satisfy his troops' cravings for a taste of home. This put the java-mission in motion"

And here I thought it as the email I sent to Mr. Joyce at his Fox Harbour golf course.

;D

 

[raymao]

Maybe I'll put my business know-how to good use and submit my application for Tim Hortons - Kandahar instead of the ROTC program.

Then again...

CTV fails for using the term peacekeeping or peacekeeper 4 times in that article...

The PM is going to Khandahar?  Anyway, just wondering, if someone "over there" rolls the rim and wins, can they have the SUV sent over?  :dontpanic:
