    Musicians (S5 E4)

    Musicians (S5 E4)

    Musicians. The military has many of them and for good reason. They are there to help us celebrate the good times and reflect during sombre times. Corporals Hélène Fortier and Michel Cousineau of the Regimental Band of the Governor General’s Foot Guards go into detail about life as a musician and their role within the Forces. And of course, they give a performance in the podcast studio!

    This is a big one, and it’s happening now. The Canadian Army is significantly increasing its footprint in Latvia as part of Operation REASSURANCE.

Lieutenant-Colonel Marc Kieley talks about transitioning the current battle group in Latvia to a brigade and the impact it will have on both Regular and Reserve soldiers.

Do Better LOL ,

If I could do things over

Listening to this Podcast makes me feel, if I just graduated high school again. I would serve in the Canadian Armed Forces. What great gain in all kinds of knowledge. I work with some ex military soldiers. Have a lot of respect for them.
