Long ago in a forest far, far away

For some reason, the brigade has a vocal contingent demanding photographic evidence of our past (teenage) sins. I've managed to lose or destroy most of the images from that time period, but here's one that somehow survived:

That was me, circa 1979, somewhere in CFB Petawawa. We were pulled out of our TQ2 Radio Operator field exercise and set to wander the woods looking for some missing weapons. A friend of mine from the Highland Fusiliers happened to have his camera along, so he took a few pictures. One of 'em ended up being published in a DND publication of some sort (details get hazy after all these beersyears).

You can't leave us hanging like that... did you find the missing weapons? Posted by: Flea at October 8, 2004 09:12 PM
Eventually, they turned up. Our little search party had nothing to do with the success of the mission. Partly because of the presence of an SAS patrol on base at the time.

Now that I think about it, I'll make that a real post (this comment was going on waaaaaay too long). Posted by: Nicholas at October 9, 2004 09:09 AM
