  1. Bugger - I can't exactly talk about what I know/don't know, my job requires a special access security clearance, so most of the stuff i know is pretty heavy and lots of times happens way before it even hits the news, it's all apart of opsec, I dont even read what is put in the papers about the war, they dont know anything unless they are embedded reporters, and half the time its so embelished because they want it to look 'hollywood' and sell more...What i know is what i know, and im sorry, but an internet message board isnt the right place to get TOO in depth with my job...I can only really say that we lost a good member of 1 PPCLI yesterday doing route recon...our main goal hasn't really changed, we are trying to help locals, village by village who are being threatened and bullied by the taliban into doing some of their dirty work, it's guerilla warfare..a lot of stuff doesn't make sense here, so many things i have seen,heard or learned about are just mind boggling, but i like to think our troops are making it better for the locals living in fear.

    Lacoupe - as far as the hockey and goal celebrations, its all apart of morale, its not easy being this far from home, I am really looking forward to the world juniors, first game is the 27th for us here at 130am local time, I cant wait to watch it, then go to sleep for a few hours to wake up and watch the canucks game, im going to be a mess that day haha.

    zanstorm - im from mackenzie....a little bit east of smithers, but i played some good hockey back in the day out in smithers, also work with a guy who was on last roto who is from smithers, brendan svab, you may know him?

  2. Pin - Thanks for the kind words, And merry christmas to you and your family!

    Admin 2 - Rgr, I will blog the article i wrote for the province later today, Trevor never actually sent me a letter, it was TC Carling sent me a Canucks card and his business card thanking me for serving the country and wishing me all the best, thought that was very nice!
