Military Service In The Past?
Military Service In The Past?
#1
I was chatting away with Star Ranger4 on a certain topic and we both veered off towards talking about our past service with our countries' armed services.  After our wonderful host admonished us about that, I began to think.
I tend to include military stuff in my fanfics - as reading Phoenix From the Ashes (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6740104/1/P ... -The-Ashes) clearly demonstrate - so I got curious as to how many other people have served.
To start off, I was an administration clerk - a person who works in a military unit's main office handling personnel affairs - in the Canadian Armed Forces from 1985-91.  As that trade is considered one of the "purple trades" - where you get the choice of wearing an environmental uniform (Navy blue/black, Army green, Air Force sky blue) - I was considered an Army man.  I served in the Army Reserves with the Lincoln and Welland Regiment (Saint Catharines, Ontario) throughout most of 1985 before transferring to the full-time forces at the end of the year.  After basic and trades training, I served on HMCS Saguenay - a helicopter-carrying steam destroyer escort based at Halifax in Nova Scotia - from the start of 1987 to the end of 1988.  All of 1989 saw me at the Canadian Land Forces Command and Staff College - the primary Army junior officer's staff training school - in Kingston, Ontario.  The next year, I was posted to the 1st Canadian Signal Regiment - a division-level signal battalion - in Kingston.  I remained there until I pulled the pin.
Anyone else?
