Commander of 8 Wing Trenton arrested, charged in hunting incident

[Bruce Monkhouse]

We don’t actually know what else he may have done to the duck. He had to have a good reason for trying to shoot it so recklessly.

Army ‘CLUE’: It was…BGen Douglas…in the training area…from a Kiowa…

Edit to add: Technically I think he was DEERFAC’ing from the Kiowa, the TOVIT was reportedly 5/4ton-enabled.

His son was one of my Pl Comds in Bosnia. That hunting trip was not the family's proudest moment.

When I was in Gagetown (mid 1980s) I ended talking with one of the old, old crusty Sgts in Range Control. Apparently a former BComd used a cherry picker to go deer hunting. Not sure if he was successful.

Yup

I hope acting wing commander Lederle asserts his new authority with a bugout and ruckmarch.

Is there even a hunting season open in Ont right now ? Or is this poaching too ?

Not that I'm aware of, unless he was fishing, but that's usually more effective with dynamite.

Different kind of wings...

Unlike most of the Army, the Air Force has real day to day work and operations to conduct; no time to waste on time filling bullshit makework.

I just spit out my coffee lol you owe the King a keyboard lol

Good news is that we still have massive stockpiles of keyboards bought when we still had a queen, sitting in shelves, warranties expired, never used, waiting to either be issued as a replacement or sold as surplus on pennies on the dollar.

Problem is they're PS/2.

As long as he doesn't use the ruckmarch to scout for new deer hunting blinds I guess...

No need. Trenton has helicopters.

appoint Lieutenant-Colonel Matt Lederle as Acting Wing Commander of 8 Wing and CFB Trenton.

I didn't realize that 8 Wing and CFB Trenton were separate entities.

Just like 4 Wing and CFB Cold Lake are different things.

My rough understanding is that 8 Wing is the flying side units and their support, whereas CFB Trenton is the infrastructure and some of the units/sections that support it.

For 90-95% of the people posted to Trenton(or any other location) the distinction means nothing, and has zero impact on their lives.

Which are both located in Medley, AB. Gotta love making things more complex, despite being irrelevant, just for technicalities sake.

Because "Cold Lake" sounds so much more attractive than "Medley" in recruiting literature!

More charges laid against the Colonel.

Wow. WTF?

Bail: that's for the 'peasant classes'

I'm not hearing anything from those who complain about police getting paid while awaiting court decisions here.........
