I was there. Once a Patricia, always a Patricia!

[@IanPayne-z5l]

Little know fact. In the 1960’s the Patricia’s had one of the best soccer teams in Canada. In 1968 they gave the Canadian Men’s National team a game to help the national team prepare for an Olympic qualifier against Chile. The game was played on the pitch behind the big gym in Griesbach. The Pats held them to a two all draw. The bulk of that team won the NATO championship in 1970 representing CFB Europe by defeating the German Navy on penalties after 2-2 draw. The German naval officer who presented the cup to my father, captain of Canadian side, said, “not only do I take my hat off to you, I give it to you”. Dad has been gone now for 15 years, but the hat is still in the family.

[@rocksandforestquiver959]

Brick back khaki uniforms or at least make the rifle green actual rifle green, anything but the current Canadian Army greens 😭

[@REV-1]

The “current Canadian army greens”
Damn.

[@rocksandforestquiver959]

@@REV-1 The service dress/ deu for the Army is what I'm talking about, never been a fan of that pattern or exact colour and I know I'm not the only one. Just found out they ARE actually planning to replace it.

[@midwesternexplorer9339]

That name is an embarassment, How can someone be proud to be owned by a Princess?

[@nickysimi9866]

If you knew their combat record, you'd understand why

[@BoydBrandson]

We were ordained by a princess. You got a. problem with that ****
