Transcription
I transferred with the army and wearing combats and do their own stuff and that was different. I loved it, I mean to me it was, I’d use that as a, hey we’re going on exercises as going camping. That’s the way I looked at it. But a bit more. While in Valcartier I was deployed to Egypt with the United Nations for six months in 1975. That was kind of, that was hard because I had a two-year-old daughter, my oldest one was two years old then and leaving a baby home, it was, it was hard. It was hard to, you know, to be away and about three weeks after I left I got a letter from my wife saying that she was pregnant for my second one and that was harder.
