It's a little different for the troops. Their kit is on the same Herc, so if their ruck doesn't show up neither do they.

Now that would be nice,if you could accompany your luggage the whole trip.
I got used to seperating my things so if hopefully one bag got through,I would be ok.

I would love to fly on a herc.
I've built airstrips for them,unloaded them off the lake but never flown in one.

Depends on what the herc is carrying, in anycase anything aft of the cockpit is treated as cargo.

A buddy of mine took this.

Shit, I've flown from Hong Kong to Winnipeg lots of times and never once did I, or my wife and kids, lose our luggage. The same goes for Vancouver to Addis Ababa...just me then. I've had some experiences with local officials at airports, but my stuff always arrived with me.

Guess you havent flown Calm air then.

There's a couple more I cant remember,first air and Canadian north come to mind.

[ShepherdsDog]

I've flown Calm Air and Perimeter both.

[ziggy]

If you have flown Calm air and got your bags then your one of the lucky one's.

Being in China the last few years I imagine you havent been able to experience there new philosophy.

[ShepherdsDog]

haven't flown on Calm Air since the late 90s and Perimeter since 2004.

When are you headed out West CM?

I'm in Petawawa now dude.

If you mean Wainwright? I can't tell you when workup starts cause I don't really know yet. Just because of manpower issues it looks like I'm going to be going A squadron (in RHQ right now) and will be deployed early 2010.

My son just got back from Wainwright a few weeks ago.
Late January they're going to Texas for 10 days.
Then he's deployed in April.

The cabin boy, the cabin boy,
The dirty little nipper.
He lined his ass with fiberglass,
And circumcised the skipper.

Away away with the fife and drum,
Here we come full of rum.
Lookin' for women to paddle our bum,
In the North Atlantic squadron.

In my dad's day they had their daily rum ration on ship, but when I served we had a pop machine that dispensed beer. While at sea, you were only allowed wine or beer, but while alongside the mess was the place to get primed before hitting town, or if you were an OD(OSUT) with a curfew.

Hehehehe... I love that song.

There was a whore from Montreal
Who spread her legs from wall to wall
But all she got was sweet fuck all
From the North Atlantic Squadron.

Still have a Christmas Party where the Chiefs and POs cook dinner and the Officers serve it. We had a mighty pot of moosemilk at ours this year.

[ShepherdsDog]

The ship's mate, the ship's mate
He really had a big'un.
He wrapped it twice around the mast
And used the rest for riggin'.

[Gunnair]

There was a whore her name was Joan
She got her jolts from dynamite
The found her vagina in northern Regina
And part of her tits in Vernon!
