I have just recently joined the Queens Own Rifles and am still slightly confused about the nature of their operations. Is this regiment completely airborne or are there other qualifications that I can get and ops to participate in?
QOR attack another Beach
Exercise Neptune Reach was conducted 18-20 Jun 2004 in Georgian Bay. Augmented by the 48th Highlanders and 2 Fd Engr Regt, a platoon sized patrol performed reconnaissance, rehearsals and an ambush each involving amphibious insertions from the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Samuel Risley
Originally I was under the impression that they were solely airborne, and having a slight aversion to jumping out of planes, this was not the reason I joined. However, I am an avid swimmer, schnorkler etc. and the above ops hold great appeal.
Excuse my ignorance,
