- performances by the Seaforth Highlanders pipes and drums

What exactly is your point?  Perhaps you should listen more to what is being said than just posting inane comments because you can.

i shoulda said whos going=P are you?

 

[beach_bum]

No.  I am not going.  If you read combat medic's post, you will see that this is a recruiting thing.  I have already been serving for a number of years.

Pretty good stuff, I particularly enjoyed the section attack demo and the SAT range.

how come i didn't see you? I got a real good understanding with the C6, C7 and the C9. Hm I left early, I didn't get to see the officers mess  :blotto:

I had fun for the short time I was there.  Missed all the early stuff due to work; I couldn't get there until around 6:00.

It was nice to get a feel for some of the equipment.  Apparently I didn't do too poorly on the weapons simulator considering it was my first time and the sights weren't zeroed properly for me.  My wife absolutely refused to try, which is too bad considering she was a top shot in the Rod and Gun club in her early teens.

Nice gourp of people too, I really look forward to hopefully being a part of the unit.
