Comments: in Germany one of the army words were "living on the economy" when you didn'thave enough points to get a P M Q . maybe that was everywhere but I was just thinking about how many Points you had to have to get a house PMQ We moved alot in such a short time, in my 14 years before we got posted to Soest Germany in 1965, we were in Shilo, Petawawa,Shilo. The Peg, Shilo; and then Ottawa for a year. That was a lot of packing for my Mum.lol She would just get unpacked and everything in order and Dad would come home and say " let's go you got 2 months". I can see her face today. LOL

Comments: "I'm still trying to discover what makes Shilo so special" ... what about the road hockey, after dark in the street lights, minus 30 but you were still sweating. Kids showed up and disappeared throughout and you just played for the side that was down a player. Great memories!

I'm still trying to discover what makes Shilo so special.As I look back in the guestbook, the memories come flooding back and I mellow out. I can't say that for any other place I've lived.
A close friend laughed at me when I spoke in a string of abbreviations about the PPCLI. That reminded me that army brats (and soldiers) have a unique language, mostly comprised of abbreviations like PMQ, MO, RCSA, HQ, APC and words like Meathead, H hut, Canteen, Sports Palace, and Canex.
Here's a challenge for all of you. Can we compile an army brat vocabulary?

Comments: Hi! Our family lived at 10 Citadel Crescent from 1967-1972, we then went to CFB Halifax and returned to Saskatchewan when Dad retired in 1975.
Really brings back many memories! Being an army brat is a culture within itself. I Look forward to meeting old and new friends.

Comments: It’s Wednesday night in TO, and the Canadian Juniors are leading Russia 3 - 0 at the WJHC in Buffalo NY. It doesn’t get better than this.. watching the game and cruising the Shilo Brat site. It’s great reading up on all the latest Brat news and the latest developments of the site. All the best in 2011 to all Shilo Brats and the Brat site team. Cheers and good health to my old hockey team mates of 1965 - 67.. and former Sapper neighbors, wherever you are.
