Training in Canada

We spent one year in Joliette, Quebec and Three Rivers together before going overseas. I trained motorcycle riding, truck driving and machine gun, Vickers machine gun, stripping and so on. And on the machine gun, you were trained to take the main lock out and put it back together blind folded.Interviewer: How difficult was that to do? The first few times were very difficult, but you soon caught on and we used to think, “Well, why am I doing this blindfolded? ” Well they said, “It’s going to get dark and you won’t be able to see. So you must be able to repair that lock in the dark.” That’s blindfolded.
