RHFC_piper said:I've never been on a band course, nor have I been to 'band camp'... 'cause I'm not a bandsman... I'm an infantry piper.
KevinB said:???
Your a piper at work -- your a piper buddy.
if you where an Infantryman at work then you'd be a....
RHFC_piper said:Thats about as orrigional as asking a piper to play Amazing grace or Scotland the brave... This is why I charge $200 an hour ($150 minimum charge) to play at weddings and funerals, even for fellow troops..
George Wallace said:Hockey Team...
KevinB said:The Hockey comments are a sore point with a lot of regular force pers -- those who remember some teams in Germany (even in Canada) that were theoretically in a sub-unit but never went on ex since they where playing or practicing to play.
Well, I can't play hockey but I'm in for the Cheerleader try-outs!! Name the date & place. Can we please have anbody but CTS come up with the little mini I'll have to wear??Ghost778 said:Anyhow, how about we start an army.ca hockey team...

Although I was thinking more along the lines of actually being issued a piece of kit in a design other than cadpat. At least I'm hoping that the Army.ca Hockey Team manager will be issuing these outfits won't he?? You are more than likely correct though. You really don't want to see me in a mini skirt in 2019 at the age of 50...well, on second thought...you probably don't need to see that now...MasterPrivate said:only involve CTS if we aren't going to play until 2019.
Ghost778 said:the "B" team are like the red headed step childs right?
RHFC_piper said:Sooo... by work you mean.. uh.. TASK FORCE 03 - 06.. where I'm and Augmentee for 1 RCR Battlegroup, B coy as a Carl Gustav Gunner?
Sounds like a job for a bandsman to me.. (sarcasm)
Or perhaps you're refering to what I do at home unit as an instructor for the holding platoon, teaching pre SQ soldiers, preparing them for SQ and BIQ... I'm sure they'll need to know how to play that pipes for their future courses.. (yet more sarcasm)
About the only time I'm a 'bandsman' is on Tuesday nights.
The last course I was on was DP2A, just before the summer... the only difference between me and the other infanteers in our regiement (besides 9 years of trg for musical skill on a very difficult instument, and enough devotion to the regiment to train 2 nights a week instead of one) is that I have to fight for every course I get on, I teach remedial Basic infantry skills to new troops and on exercises, I'm the bad guy.
So... I'm an infanteer... who plays the bag pipes.. and was attached to the band, NOT BY CHOICE.
