[armygurl_557]

Is Vernon big?  Is it as big as blackdown or Connaught?

 

[marshall sl]

Have a look at this site about Vernon

http://www.vaccalumni.ca/

 

[armygurl_557]

It doesnt look as big as i thought it was..

 

[marshall sl]

It's shrunk over the years.  used to be on both sidesof the highway. Upper and lower camp. Most of the upper camp was sold off

 

[joe_2701]

Hey Papke, do you remember when your bunk was stolen this summer?  ;D

Cheers! Gagne, 1 platoon!

 

[armygurl_557]

His Bunk was Stolen? How, May I ask? Like did Somebody just move into his tent?

 

[joe_2701]

Well, we slept in barracks on our Drill and Ceremonial Course. Needless to say, some of my friends got a little bored and took the liberty of moving his bunk into our linnen room and hid it really good.  >

 

[joe_2701]

I forgot to mention... he also tried to steal one of our bunks. of course our entire three platoons rallied to stop him... (even though it was an empty bunk)

 

[sgt.pongo]

hey umm is papkes first name shawn?....i might know him

 

[madchicken]

Cdt. Edwards is in your corps?....He was switched to my platoon half way thru the summer. (C-Coy 18 Plt.) What corps are u from?

Haha yeah I remember that.  He was in the same barracks as me, and we use to hang out when camp first started because I didn't know anyone in my platoon.  I'm from the 903 BCD is kelowna.

- Vernon is smaller than B-Down, in terms of # of Cadets. Training area is vastly larger. Not sure about Argo, never been.
- The land for the upper camp wasn't sold, it's leased, thats why Cadets have full access
- You don't need CL for CLI, it's just desired. Really all you need is to be medically fit, 14, and have the CO's recomendation.

Storesman has been sporatically offered in Quebec (I think Valcartier) but hasn't run for at least 2 years. Vernon did it in 1999 or 2000.

Ya WO Marshall was my Plt WO. But out of pure Espirit de Corps 2nd intake would've kicked your asses at a competition

 

[407QOCH]
