New members are always welcome
I joined theCOTC as an officer-cadet. 2 years later I was attached to the R22R in Germany made lieutenant and was commissioned as an infantry officer. I returned to the COTC for 3 years and made captain. I wanted to join the regular RCAF but was taken only as a pilot officer, had to resign my commission and was recommissioned as an RCAF officer. I started to climb the mountain again and my retirement rank of m/gen. was attained after 41 years. Interesting?
