Mr. Rochon questions the logic behind amalgamation of the Canadian Armed Forces, and cites it as his reason for leaving the Navy
Transcription
Tri-service is when they would put the navy, army and air force altogether and it just didn’t work out. So a lot of us got out, a lot of us got out. Why would you have somebody come on board ship that was in the army or the air force and not know which is the stern or the bow, you know? They were trained to do their thing and we were trained to do our thing. The regulars only could join for three years and if we signed up we had to sign up for five at a time, and they were getting their trade groups before us guys. So it really didn’t work out too good. How can I put it? I was proud to serve my country and I was, I liked the ocean and I was proud to be there, that’s all.
