Stephen D. Gazo Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Great site, great info. I have been working towards getting my Registration in Ontario (OAHI). Still much work to do and courses to complete before I am good to go, but, this site and you guys will no doubt give me a little direction..or just tell me to push off[:-angel] thank you mongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 No push off, lotta direction, and a refreshing hard refusal to put up with folklore or bullshit. Be prepared to have some of your preconceptions exploded in your face. That's been my experience. Hang around, ask questions, they'll get answered. Bring what you know. Folks'll listen.

randynavarro Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Interesting. Seems the former/current soldiers who have entered this biz and have hung around this board seem to be the most willing to learn and humble, if you will. Except for O.

hausdok Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Glad to have you and all other vets aboard, Sergeant Major! The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned. Thank you for your service. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen D. Gazo Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 So, you're 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion, eh? Wow I cant imagine how old I would be to have served in 1 Can Para...They were formed prior to WW2 and then like all things canadian we got rid of it when we thought we didnt need it anymore. I belonged to the second and third iterations. The first was stood up in 1966 (??) and was called Canadian Airborne Regiment, until Somalia and some other stuff I will let you look up. The regiment was disbanded due solely to Ignorant Politics in 1995.... The third iteration being Para company 3rd Battalion the Royal Canadian Regiment (3RCR)...I have packed up all my gear and turned it back in a couple of years ago (2.5). Now I am hard at working into my next career... Kurt, the Quebec Valley would be on the other side of the river of the Ottawa Valley where I am from... je nes parle pas francais Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Neither do I. Regardless, see you in here. Like Randy said, the ex-service guys seem to have some of the best attitudes about this gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My absolute favorite movie Darren, me too, I think I was given this handle about ten seconds after the bean scene... Kurt, all things being equal, if I served with 1 Can Para I would be about 89 years old...and just starting a new trade eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
