RMC: [color=yellow]Fair enough there, man.  Good luck in the recruiting/selection process.  If you get posted to Kingston, you'll no doubt run into one of my bretheren, MCpl Homer.  Good guy.

RMC-Wannabe:  Why would you be fooled of the name SigOp?  Something you missed in the recruiting manual somewhere?  LOL EightPistons: [color=orange] Had a buddy of mine get all hot n bothered that he was off to Kingston for his QL3 a few years back.  Saw him in the Mess over Christmas.  He was...

  Well, best I can adivse to you is good luck!  I am in the Ontario Regiment, and I only know of one individual who managed to find it and purchase it on e-Bay.  So, keep trying and try your luck at the militaria collectables shows, etc.  And while you're at it, see if you can find another one...

    Ah, the walk down Amnesia Lane to the days of QL2, QL3, QL5, etc etc etc some 13 years ago.  It took me personally some time to come to the realization that I will impart shortly.  I was a Cadet once long ago, and I did make that mistake by mentioning that on my QL2.  However, late nights...

  Trinity,     Question for you....is there a chance, however remote, you may be able to find a current Signals dress belt buckle?  I am talking the one which you would wear on the dress white belt.  Please Advise...

  I can only hope that Juile passed peacefully and quietly when this occurred.  I have now just been informed of her passing the other day(29 Sep) and I am still in shock.  I guess it proves that you never know when your number is up.  May she rest in peace.
