Default Warrant Officer Terry Warner

Read the interview with MLU Forum member Terry Warner who’s retiring from the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) after an exceptional career spanning over 40 years. Well done, Terry!

Default Terry Warner

I have had the pleasure of knowing Terry (by brother from another mother) for over two decades as we were both Geomatics Technicians, working and travelling in the same circles. I did a quick search of my database and located these two photographs from the early 2000s. Happy Retirement Terry and I look forward to seeing you around town.

Ed is too modest. He and I would have technical conversations that strayed far from mapping and the business of the day. I followed his footsteps as the Unit Historian, and hopefully lived up to his standards. BTW, I still have that Combat Cap.

Mapping and charting? Where are they located...next to the chariot overhaul center? We have GPS now.



Kidding aside, welcome to the completed side Terry. It will be a couple months before your first pension cheque comes, and they will continue to come (and index) until the day you die. (In fact, they can go even longer if your spouse just moves you into the freezer when the day comes, and doesn't tell anybody).


It makes all those 2am standing in the rain checkpoints worthwhile. Free loot forever.



Congrats.

Edited to add a slide from my Depart With Dignity presentation - to be presented TBD.

Congrats.
Ha ha ha As I say to anyone who'll listen, there were a lot of long uncomfortable nights between then and now.

A GPS navigator is not a solution, anymore than a set of wrenches makes someone a mechanic.
