A great time was had by all. (I can say that now, forty years after the fact,
it's amazing how time mellows the experiences). <<<<
Hi Art,
Me included, only in my first year in COTC Canadian officer training. But we
had a couple of Welsh Guard Sgt. Major's! My goodness, there were some days our
group swore we would die by sunset before these two were finished with us! :-)
Yes and you're right, it's easy to smile about it today, only in my case it was
55 years ago.:-)
yep just a young lad. ;-) But in reality, they were the two best people I ever
knew in the military, I learned more about being a successful officer,
physically fit and looking after my future troopers, than I believe anyone else
could have taught us. But damn they were tough assed SOB'S. ;-)
