<strong>RICHARD</strong> <strong>ALLEN</strong> <strong>SCOTT</strong><br />

THROUGH THE YEARS<br />

Precision Drill demonstration – Sep, 1967<br />

Our training in<br />

Penhold was a dream,<br />

4-man rooms instead<br />

of 32, good food, not<br />

so much punishing<br />

physical ‘stuff’, and so<br />

on.<br />

Graduation day was<br />

September 5 th 1967.<br />

The precision drill<br />

demonstration was <strong>the</strong><br />

highlight of <strong>the</strong> day,<br />

intricate marching for<br />

about 15-20 minutes<br />

without any verbal<br />

commands. All done<br />

by count. Hours and<br />

hours of practice to<br />

get it right.<br />

All 32 of us made it through training and <strong>the</strong>n scattered to all corners of Canada. I graduated<br />

second in my troop.<br />

I was posted to Abbotsford Detachment,<br />

Chilliwack Sub-Division, “E” Division (British<br />

Columbia)<br />

Never been <strong>the</strong>re, never heard<br />

of it, but happy to go.<br />
