By “Windy” On Monday, the 15th of February, the RHQ and the 99th Bty of the 21st A/Tank Regiment, RCA, held their regular training night and were in good attendance considering there was a hockey game in town. Seems you have competition no matter what business you are in, 0-0-0 The training syllubus has been bro­ ken down into five parts and is much better for all. Now a new man on entry takes his training by stages and is not put in with the seasoned men—by that I do not mean those smelling of onions. The five are of­ ficers’ training, signals, small arms, gun drill and mechanical transport. So we have a wide variety to choose from.

I do not know just what went on in that lecture as, for a change, I was kept busy all evening. But whatever did go on in there could not have been too confusing as O/C Ron (Under-drive) Ste. Marie did not have the usual question marks circling his head. And as a note of interest to all, just where did you get that hat you were wearing last night, Ron? 0-0-0 The signal section was busy in a fashion. They were checking the operation of all equipment, as a start for the course. Of course, this,is done undei- the direction of Sgt. "Buck” Sinnomon, and his two henchmen, Gnrs. Mighty’ Stapleton and 'Squeek' Hall. Now there is a line for investi­ gation if I ever saw one, “Don’t hit me fellows, I’m only kidding. 0-0-0 Small arms training was given by Bdr. Borden Jenkins and his subject was the rifle in preparation for range work. Borden was asking various questions, and one was "What do you find in the barrel of a rifle?” Na­ turally the ..answer was, the lands and grooves, but some bright character answered, and with a very straight face I might add, “Dust, cob-webs, cigarette butts, dead flies, etc.” Please don’t weep Borden; I hate to see a grown man cry. ■ 0-0-0 The gun crews were also quite busy and Sgt. Jack Blackwell had his hands full. He has a new assistant by the name of Bdr. “Couldn’t matter less” Wells who has just finished his Senior NCO’s course. You should be pretty sharp new, eh Bill? Also Bdr. ‘Dinny’ Montgomery finished his in fine style so this unit should not run short of trained nersonnel for summer camp. 0-0-0 The M.T. Section-was in lecture all evening, given by that long-winded character, me, (I should be long wind­ ed I have been married long enough). The subject was driver’s rules and regulations and use of the work tick­ ets. Yes, once again the time has come to make mechanical jockeys out of men and to train them for summer camp, when they work along with the gun crews. Next week the two instructors, Bdr. Montgomery and Gnr. “Mike” Willie will be taking the new men out for a driving lesson. So if you see an army vehicle coming down the street please do not run for your life. For all you know it may go by you.
