Just One Question for Arnold
|
Tpr Foster
1 February 2010
 On the morning of January 5th, A Sqn TFA 1-10 departed for the National Training Center (NTC) in Ft. Irwin, California. It was a nice climate change from chilly Edmonton. The temperature rose as high as 20°c in the day and averaged 6°c at night. Once we were settled in Camp RUBA, located on the outskirts of the Ft. Irwin Garrison, maintenance began on the tanks to prepare for the exercise ahead. It wasn't long before the tanks were low bedded to FOB RENO. FOB RENO would be our home in the desolate desert for the next month. Once there, maintenance continued and the implements were mounted on the tanks. A Sqn began supporting the infantry through the Level 3.5 live fire exercises.

Tour Experience – A Personal Reflection
|
By: Corporal John Welyki
26 January 2010
 My name is Corporal John Welyki from the British Columbia Regiment currently augmenting B Squadron of Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) overseas in Afghanistan as part of Task Force 3-09 Battle Group. I’ve been in the army close to five years now. I’ve completed three workup training cycles and am currently on my first tour to Afghanistan with only 3 months remaining. It was odd to feel relieved after three workup training cycles to finally go overseas, but at the same time I also felt nervous as I boarded the bus from the Edmonton Garrison en route to the airport.

By Major Rob Hume
15 January 2010
 Christmas found B Squadron again this year. Spirits were quite high, even though most silently wished that they could be home with family to celebrate the season. Nevertheless, we made the best of our situation celebrating together.

Ghar Notes
|
By SSM Tom Holland
January 2010
 Holidays. A time of celebration for all, back home. Whether family at Christmas, friends at New Years, or comrades at Regimental Shindigs (I’m always glad to see that the morning after Morieul Wood that my mess kit survived another year unscathed). The time to cut loose, put your feet up or gather together. As always things work out just a bit different on this side of the world.

Trooper Hazen’s Tour So Far
|
Trooper Rebecca Hazen
15 January 2009
 Hello everyone, my name is Trooper Rebecca Hazen. I have been in Afghanistan for just over four months. There has been a high tempo for the Squadron with all the demands for the tanks, and that high tempo has been no exception for me. Originally part of Administration Troop, I am also attached to Squadron Headquarter which has led me to do about 5 different jobs. My primary role is the 2IC’s (Capt Mike Gough) driver, but I have also been out with the Squadron Sergeant Major MWO Tom Holland as a temporary member of his crew. Additionally, I have deployed as an AHSVS driver, working with the infantry on the ground, and working in the T2 CP here in the forward operating base (FOB).

CDU-C Makes a House Call
|
By Lt Chris D. Whalley
15 January 2010
 An unseasonably warm January morning was the setting for a visit by 12 personnel from the medical staff of the CDU-C. The visit started out well, as they arrived just in time for coffee and cookies in the Mariner Room. After sharing a couple of laughs and a good war story or two, we were off to tour the Harvey building.

An Evening With the Edmonton Oilers
|
By: Cpl Justin D’Angelo
15 January 2010
 Thursday, January 7th was a bitter cold night even to the most weathered Edmontonian. This night though, the cold just didn’t seem to matter.
Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of the Edmonton Oilers, 12 Strathconas including 6 from C Sqn had the rare opportunity to live “Opera Rich” for a night. We were taking in the sights from up in suite #1, the personal suite of well known Edmontonian Mr. Cal Nichols. Hosting us was Tim Shipton the President of Alberta Enterprise Group and James Cumming, or Jim as we quickly came to know him. Jim was a kind, older gentleman who worked in the sky box and had more stories to tell than there were hours in the night to listen. Read More ... |
