[Argento102]

Hi guys. I think its about time I looked up some old buddies. CFB Cornwallis Course #8943
9 Platoon
Was anyone stationed there in 1989?.
My name is Darren Johns, and Im looking for old RCR or PPCLI buddies that I lost contact with.
ANY help would be eternally appreciated. We were the last platoon to use the FN rifle.
Thx guys, Darren

Anyone heard of Sam Oldfield (PPCLI) ?

I was there in ‘89. 6 platoon (Suicide Six). I can‘t remeber the course number though (8928 I think)...I went on to the LDSH in Calgary after getting out of there.

I dont mind at all. Keeping in touch with our fellow patriots is why I started the post.

I remember Leo Marsh, aka Little Hitler. Never had him as an NCO though. Still word gets around.

I also rember going to the Green and Gold for the first time with boots bloused.
