21 years in the infantry eh? Thank-you for your service! Still, for the sake of things here, I would like to point out that I served with both 1 PPCLI and 3 PPCLI respectively. There was once a time whereat the Canadian Charter of Right and Freedoms was very short of existing in the eyes' of many combat-arms soldiers - particularly in the infantry. I know this to be true, believe me. Women, body types, physical ability / disabilities, mental health, etc., were frowned upon up until around then, big time. Times have changed my friend.
