  Hi again Bren,

  It's been 20 or more years since we communicated. From 1986 to 1991, I was (no cost) posted to 749 (Red Deer) CommTp as the Regular Force Training Advisor. Posted back to 743 in July 1991, promoted to MWO in August 1991 and became OpsWo or FCC WO (can't remember). Finished with the Regs in 1993 and transferred to the Reserves as well as took a civy job as Switchboard supervisor in the bunker on the Centralized Attendant Services (CAS)

  Had to take mandatory release at age 55, as the "rectal passages" in the career shop wouldn't give me the normal years extension.  The 4 years I spent with the Reserves at 749, boosted me past 33 years service, so I got my second bar to the CD.

  By the way, Pete Lamontagne and Ed Mueller are members on this site.  Ed Bukowski is not but lives in Penhold next door to Pete.

  You should take a look at the 113 groups we have on site and join those groups that you spent time with.  Royal Canadian Air Force and RCAF Station Penhold, for sure.  So far, 28 members have joined Penhold, so hop aboard.

  I see you found and befriended Steve Pottle OK.  I am firing a Friend request to you now for your approval and will chat with you later. If you have any questions regarding the site and how to navigate around the various features, fire off a comment to me.  I am also a member of Merv Emburys' OTFG group like you.

  Best regards

  John

  Signals is a good start. Radop or FCC Op would give me a better hint. and tell me that  you and I worked together at FCC Penhold along with Kel Smith.

  Welcome aboard Bren.  I'm sure you will enjoy the site once you get settled in with your profile and join some of the 113 groups available.  Speaking of which, did you ever serve at 743 Commsqn Penhold?

   

  Who at the Veterans of Canada invited you?
