Yes, today's Army has something for every adventurous soul!
See your nearest Canadian Forces recruiter for details. Sign up today, and live the adventure! :lol:
 
Heheh, although I always wondered why urban warfare used woodland camouflage. What, do you act like a tree, and they won't see you? ;)

I had a similar experience once though. I was sent to the middle east and they didn't have desert camies for me. Woodland camies in the desert is a little ridiculous, you stand out like a sore thumb! So I quipped that I would hold my arms up and act like a cactus!
 
Yeah, the entire first roto of the PPCLI (Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry) in Afghanistan had to wear woodland camo, because the new desert uniforms weren't ready yet! :rolleyes:
They were finally ready for the second roto boys, but the first group stood out like retards!

Being Navy, we often laugh at it too! :lol:
But honestly, let me tell ya. Those boys are no wimps! They're tough as nails, and more than a little nuts! :shock:

And they love nothing more than to rip a new arse for Navy slobs who make fun of their regiment!
Made that mistake once. Never again. Well, at least not within earshot of any of 'em. :-"
 
Okay, I won't keep harping on about these guys, but here's a bit of 'em.:

Princess Patricia of Connaught, for whom the regiment is named. She died in 1974.

The current "Colonel-In-Chief" of the regiment, "Lady Pat" Patricia Edwina Victoria Mountbatten.
