Who is the Canuck Commander?

Canadian, of course.  I have 27 years of service in HM Canadian Armed Forces.  I joined Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (originally a British Imperial Regiment in 1914-15) in 1981.  I served in the infantry as a rifleman, LAR gunner, IFV turret gunner (AVGP), Section 2IC and Section Commander.  I later commissioned into the Royal Canadian Artillery and served as a Troop Commander (both Technical and Gun Troops), Battery Recce Officer, Command Post Officer, Assistant Adjutant and Regimental Adjutant of 3rd ( The Loyal Company) Field Regiment, RCA.  I have also served as an aid to a LtGen for a while.  For the past 11 years, I flipped between staff officer appointments in the Combat Training Centre Headquarters and am currently the Formation Information Systems Security Officer.  I have a degrees Business Adminstration (minor in Art History) and Arts (Economic Antropology with a minor in Economics).  I am certified A+ and Server 2000 Administrator and, oddly enough, am a certified small engine mechanic.  I am a graduate of the Canadian Army Staff College and the Militia Area Staff School.
