A Daily Routine
Heroes Remember
Transcript
A group of fellas that you would meet,
I mean in Canada different units
just don't mix, and I found
once you were overseas it didn't
matter whether you were a supply tech,
an engineer or infantry or whatever,
everybody just kind of gelled
together and started to get along.
I made friends with a few
supply techs in my platoon and
some mechanics and some cooks.
A normal day would be up at 4:30,
go to the gym, work out for an
hour or so, shower, go to breakfast and
be at work for around 7:00.
I worked in clothing stores issuing
clothing to all the Canadians on ground and
as well as stock taking and
investigation where you have to account
for all of the equipment and all of our
parts and if they are not there
investigations are done.
So that was pretty much a day for me.
About the first three months,
we all worked probably until
about 10:00 or 11:00 at night and
then down to our tent and go to ground.
