Canadian Forces Staff School- Toronto
Where the army went to drink and watch the navy teach the airforce how to read and write!
Now Jiff: You know that the Right of the Line was based on literacy! Hence the Gentlemen (and now lady) cadets of RMC, The Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, The Cavalry, The Royal Canadian Artillery... the Engineers... and some where down there on the left; the infantry!  If Right of the Line was given for ability to get covered in mud and blood, dig trenches really fast, carry more per man than a mule and "close with and destroy the enemy" then youse infanteers might get a tan on your right sides, however...!  ANYWAY... the CMPs never much cared who was riding in 'em as long as they got their daily dose of first, halt and last parades and unlimited fuel to drink!   Mike
