http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Mcd4FuHO-0 This was sent to me by a civilian friend. To which he explained to me, that this video shows "Just how stupid you army guys are" I don't know what unit those guys are from, nor do i know them. But i don't think they're showing how professional us...

I spent a week and a half just hangin out in the Town of Meaford as well as Owen Sound. It's a beautiful area. As much for the base and training area i've heard good things about it. Except for the poison ivy. Although, i got some pretty bad poison ivy in Shilo too.

If we ever need to find a new gun for the PriRes in the future what would that gun be? We just got the C3's a few years ago and they work great, but what lies ahead in the future of the Res Arty?

I heard the americans had a large 8x8 that didn't have a disel engin. I was all electric and it had amazing power. It recharged it's batteries whenever it braked. I think i saw it on the discovery channel. So if the discovery channel said it, then it must be true right?

Welcome to the large family that is the Artillery. Disfunctional some say, but we're more tight knit that way. <- Hey it rhymes!
