Jeff Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 Thanks Jennings.... I'm just glad he is still paying his taxes..LOL Us old guys need our pension...... seriously, he is happy, and a new posting to go along with it... mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jessie_C Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Well, he is with the ROYAL Canadian Dragoons......so that counts. And as a matter of interest..... I am directly related to Oliver Cromwell.... cool eh? Indeed it does. Most soldiers have their "home" regiment which they spend their careers in. Postings to other 'foreign' units may happen, but they're always part of their regiment until the day they die. Since my ancestry includes Scots, English and Irish, I don't know whether I'm supposed to hate you for that or not. What the heck. We're both Canadian; our families left that nonsense behind when they left the Old Country. Raise a glass to the good major courtesy of this former sublieutenant. He'll just have to handle being toasted by a sailor. mpk and Jeff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 Well he will be part of the Regiment until he becomes a Colonel, then things change... a sailor eh?/ Well, that is just fine as his grand father , Cathy's dad spent 25 years in the RCN retired as a Chief Petty Officer......consider the glass hoisted..... and WE can discuss old traditions over a good cold beer any time..LOL!!!

Bill Cross Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 If only soldiers didn't get killed, it would be a helluva career. My dad served almost 30 years. Congratulations on the promotion, but more on his survival in a VERY dangerous line of work. That's more impressive to me. Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
