“When I finally turned 18 and signed up in the full-time militia, I signed up in Toronto," he said. "I signed up about 8:00 in the morning. got up early and went up there. And 10:00 at night I was on the train for Dundurn, Saskatchewan for my training.”
Amazing, I am sure the base was as much or a poophole then as it was when I was there.

Crazy, 2 hrs and you are on the train.

That is impressive.
