could you get any pics up of the parade?

 

[buzgo]

I have some, when I get a chance I will post them. I'm sure that there will be tonnes on the combat camera site and there was alot of media coverage there so keep your eyes peeled...

 

[cadettrooper]

thanks, I hope i can find some video of it too........... ;D

Paratroopers and free fallers jumping in, rappellers and fast ropers dropping in from the 427 SOAS helos, F-18 dropping bombs, and the final general salute punctuated with a bang...

It was a pretty cool parade.

 

[buzgo]

My camera-fu is not very well developed. Hopefully the pic shows up.

 

[cadettrooper]

WOW great pic,
   odd though desert camies? ???, and no tan berets? :'(.  and there all using T-3 'chutes (rectangular), not the T-10 Static line (round)?


                                                                                              got anymore Sig?

 

[paracowboy]

don't matter what they look like, what they wear, or what they use. It's what they can do, that makes them who they are.

Hats and uniforms. Again.  :

 

[Franko]

Whats so odd about arid CADPAT, it is after all the second most common cbt uniform in the CF?
If you read my first post, those soldiers are just coming into the DZ to go on parade...the beret ceremony is much later.
Those square chutes are CT-6.
Those troops in front, they parachuted in using the CT-1 round chutes...
and the remainder....

We use T-3s and T-10s in Canada?

I believe there is a comment about someone's "lane" I'm forgetting.

Graduates ready to form new Canadian commando regiment

CFB PETAWAWA, Ont. -- If the elite commandos of JTF2 are the military's scalpel, the 124 men and one woman of Canada's newest army regiment are its hammer.

In less than two weeks, the Canadian Special Operations Regiment (CSOR) will be ready for deployment anywhere in the world, but Sunday the soldiers, specially trained to tackle crisis situations such as hostage takings, strutted their skills in front of supporters at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa.

More than 300 soldiers applied to become part of the regiment last December. Fewer than half made it through to Sunday's stand-up ceremony, marking the regiment's creation.

unfortunately i have yet to find any other photos of the ceremony.....at all.............anyone? ???

  and thanks for the info you guys, i may not know everything about the airborne forces, i just have done alot of research on them...........

                                                                           

 

[Sf2]

probably because the military is scouring the all of the press photos prior to release so that they don't show too much.
