just HAD to stop by and say this.....the FACT is that I will get posted to the Lord Strathcona's Horse (Armoured unit) on august 10th. the rumour is that B Squadron is understrength and that most new tankers will be sent to B Squadron.......B Squadron will be prepping to deploy to Afghanistan for February '08.....part of the work up training is 3-4weeks in Gerany learning the NEW Leaopard 2A6 Main Battle Tank ;D
This rumour also comes straight from a Warrant Officer that has been told he's going to B Squadron
retirement is bliss

Oh, Canada has purchased the Leo A6's? Sweet. Makes sense the Germans aren't selling the....I think they're up to A7 now to other countries, but the Leo 2A6 is a good machine.

Tanker (tangk'er)n. 1. A dusty, crusty, grease-covered, dirty, sweaty, bright eyed, fuzzy faced, haircut-needing, beer-drinking, underrated, over-worked, underpaid, oversexed, little s%#* who can take a Tank and do more battlefield damage in ten minutes than a grunt squad can do all day.
