Yes that is right if you want your simple yet cool stencile drawing on a Tank. Send your drawings towards me. I am currently in Kandahar, Afghanistan with the Canadian Tank Squadron. Rules are must be in good taste nothing too vulgar OR RACIST! It will be brought up to my Troop Leader for approval. Who ever get's it will have there symbol on our tanks and I will post the winning symbol picture. Thank you for your time.

Just started my tour of duty here in Afghanista, so far I just preping my tank for battle. It is amazing of all the internatoinal commitment here, Canada is one of the largest next to the US and Brits. But it is a shame that when I arrived two Brits died then the next day two Americans soldiers, it really makes a wake up call to me and see the real treat I am in.

Remember the Fallen

I would like to ask the people who read this Blog to pause and have a moment of silence for the two men that die on Oct 3 2006 in Afghanistan. One of them Robert Mitchell was a buddy I knew when he was still based in Edmonton then transfered to Petawawa. Thank you for your time and please support the Soldiers here and over in Afghanistan.

Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians) are sending Leopards C2 (Leo 1A5) over to Afghanistan to support the Infantry and to destroy Taliban strongholds. “How?” you ask. Easy with a 105mm HESH (High Explosive Squash Head). This prevents Canadian infantry casualties from going in to the fuckin mud hut to clear the enemy, so the tanks line up and level the fuckin mud hut with the bastards inside. The best thing about this is Canada is the only country to employ the Leopard Tank into combat than any other nations that own the Leo 1s or 2s, that includes Germany that makes the Leopard Tanks. This also makes Canada the most armored equipped nation in Afghanistan . I am proud to be part of this Regiment and it is the first time since Korea that Canada has committed tanks into combat . This history here and it shows the rest of the world that Canada has a backbone. This will be my first tour to Afghanistan and into combat because like one of commanders said we are the hammer (tanks) to pound the enemy.
