you dont have that saying in the Canadian army. it means either close to getting out or close to leaving country. If i didnt reup it would have been both. I left country one month and two days later.

with exclamation SHOOOOORTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most people would take thier boots and paint them and toss them over the power lines on their last month. It is still done today, just not as much for some reason.
 
lol i never thought that was a saying i thought you were just short. :rolling

Painting boots and throwing them over powerlines? :confused I prefer to keep mine and use them as work boots :)

We got many categories.
The Cornflakes (new recruits)
The Bivy Buddies (gays)
The SL&L (Sick, Lame and lazy)
The Jarheads/ Keeners (really good soldiers.)
And many more (some cannot be said here) ;)

Yes I wore the olive drab color fatigues and I kept them starched like iron, and of course Cochran, jump boots, I even had a fatigue shirt with the creases sown into it. And yes the old steel pot yes I remember, I got out September the 29th 1980. As for pictures my mother has them, I only have my basic training graduation looking picture, you know in your Class A's.

Only tan boots are allowed now. No starching , just like the bdu's when they first came in, wash and wear.

51n is that the combat engineer or the construction engineer?
