The Tommy Prince Program caught the attention of TV personality Jennifer Podemski and her production company when they visited Wainwright to follow the QL2 training for three days in February. Ms. Podemski, host of The Seventh Generation, which airs on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN), joined the Tommy Prince Program recruits for a run through the obstacle course. "I have never done anything so difficult in my whole life," said Ms. Podemski. "These guys are incredible." The production, which will have a reality TV theme, is due to air on APTN in January 2002. The Tommy Prince Program is an Army initiative designed to encourage
Aboriginal youth to join the Army. The first serial of this "Boot Camp," comprising 20 infantry recruits from Central and Western Canada, started January
22 and runs until March 16. The recruits that successfully meet the "One
Army" standard join other QL2 grads for QL3 training prior to being posted to
2 PPCLI in Winnipeg.

Image: Sgt / sgt Pat McCarthyWinter ex goes BritishWhen Canadian soldiers leave the country for an exercise, it is considered exotic training. The reverse is also true when other nations send their troops here. 23 (Hamilton) Service Battalion hosted 25 members of Britain's 158 (Royal Anglian) Transport Regiment from 12 to 20 February. Ex SNOW SNAKE II, held at Meaford, was the latest in what has become an annual exchange with the two units alternating between countries. Major Richard Arnold, DCO of the Royal Anglians, was enthusiastic about the visit. "The exchange was driven by the two COs. We had to prove to our group that the training was of real benefit to us, and of course, that wasn't difficult. We're NATO allies. We work together in training and on ops in places like Bosnia." The British unit, part of the Territorial Army (TA), or Reserves, was infantry until 1996, when it was re-roled to logistics. Maj Arnold said that a lot of people were not happy about it, but the unit has adapted. "We're part of the ARRC (Army Rapid Reaction Corps), and we report via our HQ to group...We're soldiers first, drivers second." His soldiers were impressed with the new IECS gear, especially when temperatures dipped to -32°C.; "The Canadian winter kit and sleeping systems are superb," said Maj Arnold. "We saw the new kit; it's quite revolutionary. For once it's designed with the soldier in mind. That the soldiers can operate in these extreme conditions speaks well for the kit." While the grass always looks greener on the other side, the TA in the U.K. is experiencing many of the same problems as Canada's Reserve Force. But, said Maj Arnold, the Canadian visit should help in one area. "It has a side benefit beyond the training. When our recruits see posters of TA training in Canada, it's very good for recruiting. We also had three reporters with us. They'll print their stories back home. We're just coming into our recruiting season, (so) it certainly won't hurt." Capt Fletcher is a PAO with 31 CBG.
