DAY 21: Canadian, Eh?

Fri, 16 September 2005
The base I’m at is a true Coalition Force. Today, I decided to walk to the Pax Terminal to start coordinating our return flight home – woohoo! As I’m walking down the street, a bunch of funky looking Canadian tanks pass me by. The reason they look unusual is because these “tanks” have real wheels vs. the typical tank treadmills. Plus, in the back are a couple of open seats that soldiers can sit in and look around – sort of like “parade-style” viewing. The Canadians are a little special to me – my first cousins – John and Susan – live in the Bay Area and both were originally from the Great White North. Plus, the uniforms for the Canadian Forces are just plain cool!
