The life of a SAR Tech is one fraught with many dangers. I know that many on the base are upset by his loss today ...

I guess that I know where I shall be come Tuesday, or Wednesday. Depending on the Hercs into Trenton. <frack>

"The death is the first since Canadian combat operations in Kandahar ended earlier this year" ... Is there going to be a new counter? Each tick of the last just makes a belly grumble and roll over ...

Further to post 17721 ...

Friday, October 28th, was a "Military Appreciation Day" at our Wing of the Air Force Association of Canada. Our 'home' is now less than a km from the north gates of 8 Wing/CFB Trenton. They employ maybe 2,000 uniforms now, and a Friday afternoon...

Not only because of necessity of reception of a man on the tarmac (this base knows too damned many), a local SAR Tech coming in from a relatively common mission ... But in that life, shite happens and it sometimes takes a dire occurrence to strike home again.

We had maybe 115 attend our drink-and-lunch affair, and most were very subdued.

Just saying ...

Before I post a link to my own Fotki page ...

Does anyone have an objection to a link to an image of a memorial park affair being created here? Not one government dollar goes into it, it is all pocket donations from here and across the country

If that last is stricken, it was the artist's impression of the memorial to all of our losses in Afghanistan, in a small park in the town of the arrival of every one of the flag draped boxes

It seems we'll be having a little something here in Edmontonsadface


'He has been identified as Master Cpl. Byron Greff from the 3rd Battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, based in Edmonton. He has been identified as Master Cpl. Byron Greff from the 3rd Battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, based in Edmonton. '

It seems that three of the originally reported (by the U.S. military) 'Americans' were actually Australian.

If you bored a hole in the Earth from Boston, Massachusetts, you'd come out in the ocean somewhere southeast of Australia. America and Australia could not be farther apart geographically.

I was mistaken. The Australians were killed in a separate attack.blush

In other news:

'Edmonton imam reportedly beaten, jailed at hajj
Religious police detain cleric in Medina during Muslim pilgrimage'

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story...1/10/30/edmonton-imam-arrested.html

He's apparently been charged with assault after using his face and kidneys to beat the fists and clubs of a number of burly men.huh

I rarely expect to find "violent" and "clergyman" in the same sentence, but that could happen in this case. I don't know what the other side is, though. Self-defense is legal in most places, no?

Maybe it's going to be all right. Nevertheless, his face and kidneys are probably not feeling great today.bruised
