Can anyone describe the difference between the PPCLI and the RCR. I know
that they take care of different parts of Canada and that the two infantry
regiments have the same training plans and all that, But do the two
regiments style differ, when it gets down to it, do they have a different
style of training?
I‘ve heard that the PPCLI are like a bunch of cowboys and that the RCR are
mostly a parade ground unit, and also I‘ve heard that the RCR is the only
regiment that actually does things properly. I know that there is
inter-regimental competition and that soldiers will be biast depending on
their regiment, but if anyone can tell me which regiment that they would
suggest to join and why I would be grateful, thanks
Peter
