you mentioned you use to be FA in the Canadian Army

Nope - I did a cadets course at the School of Artillery, Larkhill with the School CCF when about 16 (1973?). And then a weekend at Otterburn with the Edinburgh University OTC battery a year or so later while stil ACF. Training units were still pushing 25pdrs about back then.

Then instead of OTC at Uni, I joined the local Black Watch TA unit (it paid more ), and did some time on the Mortar platoon. But mainly in the rifle platoons.

Ugh!! Too much walking around with too much equipment. That's why I went armor. Our gear went into the tank bussel rack and got a seat with view
