Are you base side or 2 Svc Bn? I was posted to Pet (SSF days) in the interesting mid 80's (pre-Somalia deployment, missing weaponry, etc...). Nonetheless, Pet was a great "soldier" posting, but a bitch on family life back then...

Looking forward to meeting you sometime in the future - maybe you can get to Ottawa for a Gracie's beer call, and or a visit to the barn.

Posted 1RCR, got out of Svc Bn soon as i could. As I said work keeps me busy deploying in May thus not much time for myself these days

Has anyone had success storing their vehicles in sea containers? I know that Gunner has a great set up at the S&P Museum with a can that has four roll up doors on it. Gilles in Cantley used one to store an Iltis, but has anyone used a plain-jane sea can for CMP storage? Will it satisfy the insurance company's security requirement (insured vehicle must be in a locked facility, etc...).

I did a check on the internet for used sea cans in central Canada and it seems that they are available. 40 foot long high ceiling cans are going for about 2K, not including transport (from Montreal or Toronto). Not sure if this is reasonable cost or not.

Any thoughts/experiences?
