Drum Forum - Drummers Forum > Drum Forums > Drum Forum - Drummers Discussions - General (Forum Moderators: PASHA, KenSanders) > Endorsers changing ships.
There has been lots of drum/cymbal artist endorsement changes in recent months, especially by some very notable artists who have had longstanding relationships with other companies. I realize that it is not always about the quality of the instruments.
In talking with some of the Nashville artists, I have found that it is often about the support they get on tour, especially outside the USA. It is very expensive to fly heavy equipment like drums, so it is a huge bonus when drum/cymbal endorsers get gear supplied by the respective companies when they tour. I am sure the companies have to evaluate the benefit to sales for such support and may have stopped supporting some artists that they feel have only marginal value to their actual sales.
Another interesting change was made by Yamaha in deciding to stop production of so many signature products, especially snare drums. I am not sure what that is all about, maybe some of the other DSA Forum participants can comment on this decision.
I don't believe that what other players are using has much impact on seasoned professionals, but it may still have demonstated impact on new drummers.
Over the years I have played just about every mainstream brand of drums out there. Given a quality drum set with quality heads, I have always been able to get quite acceptable results for shows that I do. I do always carry my own bass drum pedals and cymbals when I travel.
I realize that the very top endorsers often get some money upfront as well as equipment. However, I know that many other endorers simply get the products at a much lower cost and the condition of using them exclusively.
I recommend that everyone use the gear that inspires them to perform at their best......instead of duplicating the gear their favorite drummers use. If it happens to be the same, then that's cool but the important aspect is to select what absolutely rocks your world.
Comments? I hope so. We need to hear from some of you who haven't commented in a while.
I agree. Although that part about new drummers being influenced by famous drummers applies to me. When I started out, the drummers I listened to mostly were Art Blakey, Max Roach, Philly Joe Jones. Elvin Jones, Art Taylor and Shelly Manne. Mostly because they were on almost all the jazz albums.
When I listened to the albums, I couldn't actually tell what brand they were using, but they all had the best sounding drums of any drummers as a general rule. All you have to do is listen to them and you can hear it.
What brought my attention to the brand they were using was Down Beat magazine. I subscribed to it way back then, and in it they always had ads with those drummers with their Gretsch drums. The caption always said something like "That Great Gretsch Sound".
Well, that was enough for me. I wanted to sound like them, so when I got my first set of drums, it was Gretsch. And they did sound great!
That was a long time ago, and you'd have to take the "Way-Back-Machine" to get drums that have the sound and the quality of those drums (my opinion). Now Gretsch has their drums made mostly in China although they still make one model in America.
I have used a lot of different kinds of drums, and I still prefer that "Great Gretsch Sound".
As far as endorsement goes, if I were famous and some company wanted to give me an endorsement, I would do what I wanted to do. If I played a certain brand because I liked it, then I would stay with that brand. I'm old enough and had enough experience so that I don't care about brand endorsements or their money.
Also, I make my sets up from what I consider the best from different sets. So, if some company wanted to endorse me for some crazy reason, it would have to be on my terms.
I really like what you say. When I was young, my influence was JC Heard. He was a close friend of mine, and I watched him play a thousand times. He would put on private shows for me. I would go see him play, and when he saw me looking he would do all sorts of little tricks with his left hand, or what ever, just little special extras for my benefit! The one regret I have is I never had him autograph anything. Why? If I wanted to see him I called him at home or drop by and see him. He asked me once if I wanted to go to Bakers with him to see a friend of his playing there. I was 19, do I want to go to the Jazz Meca with a Jazz legend, humm.... OH YEAH!
So we went. There was a line around the block to get in. We were let right in, no wait, and got a seat right by the stage. His friend saw him and at the break came and sat with us. Oh, that"friend's" name, yeah that was Art Blakey! Yeah, if only I knew then what I know now, the questions I could have asked! All that talent and history sitting right there with me! WOW!
On the subject of drum kits, mine I got from my Dad. He bought the bass, snare, and amounted tom as a set used in 1963. they are Grestch round badge. (Yep, way back machine in overtime!). They had calf skin heads! So they had to be early 50's or older. 5.5x14 snare, 9x13 tom and 14x22 bass. He then added a 16x16 floor tom later in the 60's. I added a second 9x13 mounted tom (which is now being replaced by a 8x12 tom, round badge of course), I also added a second floor tom. I wanted a 20x18 round badge, but was unable to find one that cost less than my house. So I found a 20x20 slingerland shell. It was on ebay, and the seller said "Who ever wins the auction, I have an interesting story about the drum" I won and asked what the story was. He explained that in 1964 he was a kid just taking up the drums. His dad tended Bar in Chicago. His dad did a lot of parties for a jazz drummer. Dad tells Jazz drummer that his son is taking up the drums. Jazz drummer says "I will come by and give him a lesson, and I have something for him" Jazz drummer came by and gave the kid a 1 hour lesson, and gave him this slingerland 20x20 floor tom. The tom was made in 1958. that jazz drummer's name??? Gene Krupa! does not add any value to the drum, and I have no way to prove the story but think it is pretty cool, and no reason to doubt the story.
Well, I am getting ready to go play my drums some, so I am done here!
Wow Tom......what great stories. Gives me goosebumps just thinking about those guys and the gear you have. Man, thanks for sharing that with us.
Makes me thirsty for more stories from you.
Please share them when you have time.


DETROIT (Bloomberg) -- A hearing will continue into next month on the UAW's complaint that Ford Motor Co. salaried employees didn't sacrifice equally with hourly employees to help the company survive, the union said Wednesday.
An independent arbitrator will take testimony from additional witnesses in December after hearing three days of testimony this month, the UAW Ford Department said in a posting on its Facebook page.
More than 35,000 Ford workers, who gave up pay increases and bonuses, signed the grievance last year after the company reinstated raises, tuition assistance and 401(k) matches for white-collar employees.
"The depth and gravity of questioning and testimony, particularly from our witnesses has taken longer than anticipated," the union said in its post. "We are confident that we have presented a strong case to the arbitrator regarding the lack of equality concerning Ford Motor Company's reinstatement of bonuses to the executives and salary employees only."
The arbitrator has not scheduled a date for the next hearing, the union said. The arbitrator "should make his ruling within 90 days" of the conclusion of the hearing, the post said. Michele Martin, a UAW spokeswoman, and Marcey Evans, a Ford spokeswoman, declined to comment.
Ford's 40,600 hourly U.S. workers voted 63 percent in favor of a new four-year contract with Ford in October. Ford pledged 12,000 new jobs, $6.2 billion in factory upgrades, and bonus and profit-sharing payments this year that total as much as $10,000 per worker.
The accord did not include raises for senior workers or restore cost-of-living pay increases hourly employees gave up to help Ford survive after it lost $30.1 billion from 2006 through 2008.

Q: Name of a story about a man who is colonized by microscopic aliens A man is injured in a explosion and later he realizes that he has become the host of a whole civilization of aliens.  The aliens help him repair himself physically and provide him with help and advice.  The one thing that they will not let him do is shave with a blade because a nick would cause thousands of alien deaths so he must use an electric razor.  The man eventually finds a woman who is also infected with the same kind of aliens.  They go on a bender with alcohol and drugs resulting in the death of the woman but the man barely recovers. He finds out to his regret that all the aliens inside of him have been killed due to the alcohol and drug fueled episode.
This was a novella or short story from the late 60's or early 70's.

A: "Inside John Barth" by William W. Stuart, also the answer to this old question and this one. Available at Project Gutenberg and the Internet Archive.
A man is injured in a explosion
No explosion, but he is injured. He's on a hunting trip with his Uncle John:

Then, all of a sudden, there was a bright flash of blue-green light and a loud sort of a zoop-zing sound. And a sharp, stinging sensation in my thighs.
I hollered. I jumped to my feet. I looked down, and my pants were peppered with about a dozen little holes, like buckshot. I didn't have to drop my pants to know my legs were, too. I could feel it. And blood started to ooze.

and later he realizes that he has become the host of a whole civilization of aliens.

According to the Official History I was given, they came from a tiny planet of a small sun. Actually, their sun was itself a planet, still incandescent, distant, perhaps like Jupiter from the true sun. Their planet or moon was tiny, wet, and warm. And the temperature was constant.
These conditions, naturally, governed their development—and, eventually, mine.
Of course they were very small, about the size of a dysentery amoeba. The individual life span was short as compared to ours, but the accelerated pace of their lives balanced it out. In the beginning, something like four of our days was a lifetime. So they lived, grew, developed, evolved. They learned to communicate. They became civilized—far more so that we have, according to them. And I guess that was true. They were even able to extend their life span to something like two months.
"And to what," I inquired—but without much fire, I'm afraid; I was losing fight—"to what am I indebted for this intrusion?"
"Necessity."
It was, to them. Their sun had begun to cool. It was their eviction notice.

The aliens help him repair himself physically

"Invaded! Good Lord, of all the people in the world, why me? Nothing like this ever happened to anyone. Why did I have to be picked to be a territory—the first man to have queer things living in me?"
"Oh, please, gracious Fatherland! Permit us to correct you. In the day of our fathers, conditions were, we can assure you, chaotic. Many horrible things lived here. Wild beasts and plant growths of the most vicious types were everywhere."
"There were—"
"What you would call microbes. Bacteria. Fungi. Viruses. Terrible devouring wild creatures everywhere. You were a howling wilderness. Of course, we have cleaned those things up now. Today you are civilized—a fine, healthy individual of your species—and our revered Fatherland. Surely you have noticed the vast improvement in your condition?"

and provide him with help and advice.

All at once, almost anything I undertook to do was sensationally successful. I wrote, in several different styles and fields and under a number of different names; I was terrific. My painting was the talk of the art world. "Superb," said the critics. "An astonishing otherworldly quality." How right they were—even if they didn't know why. I patented a few little inventions, just for fun; and I invested. The money poured in so fast I couldn't count it. I hired people to count it, and to help guide it through the tax loopholes—although I was able to give them a few sneaky little ideas that even our sharpest tax lawyers hadn't worked out.

The one thing that they will not let him do is shave with a blade because a nick would cause thousands of alien deaths so he must use an electric razor.

I had always used an ordinary safety razor—nicked myself not more than average. It seemed O.K. to me. Never cared too much for electric razors; it didn't seem to me they shaved as close. But—I took to using an electric razor now, because I had to.
[. . . .]
I had to be careful because, as they explained it, even a small nick with a razor might wipe out an entire suburban family.

The man eventually finds a woman who is also infected with the same kind of aliens.

It was late afternoon, turning to dusk. She lifted up on one elbow and half turned away from me to switch on the bedside lamp. The light came on and I looked down at her, lovingly, admiringly. Idly, I started to ask her, "How did you get those little scars on your leg there and . . . those little scars? Like buckshot? Julia! Once, along about ten years ago—you must have been a little girl then—in the mountains—sure. You were hit by a meteor, weren't you?"
She turned and stared at me. I pointed at my own little pockmark scars.
"A meteor—about ten years ago?"
"Oh!"
"I knew it. You were."
"Some damn fool, crazy hunter," was what Pop said. He thought it really was buckshot. So did I, at first. We all did. Of course, about six months later I found out what it was but we—my little people and I—agreed there was no sense in my telling anyone. But you know."
It was the other ship. There were two in this sector, each controlled to colonize a person. My own group always hoped and believed the other ship might have landed safely. And now they knew.

They go on a bender with alcohol and drugs resulting in the death of the woman but the man barely recovers.

"Don't ask," said the doctor. I wasn't going to. I didn't even care where I was, but he told me anyway, "You are in the South Side Hospital, Mr. Barth. You will be all right—which is a wonder, considering. Remarkable stamina! Please tell me, Mr. Barth, what kind of lunatic suicide pact was that?"
"Suicide pact?"
"Yes, Mr. Barth. Why couldn't you have settled for just one simple poison, hm-m? The lab has been swearing at you all day."
"Uh?"
"Yes. At what we pumped from your stomach. And found in the girl's. Liquor, lots of that—but then, why aspirin? Barbiturates we expect. Roach pellets are not unusual. But aureomycin? Tranquilizers? Bufferin? Vitamin B complex, vitamin C—and, finally, half a dozen highly questionable contraceptive pills? Good Lord, man!"
"It was an accident. The girl—Julia—?"
"You are lucky. She wasn't."
"Dead?"
"Yes, Mr. Barth. She is dead."

He finds out to his regret that all the aliens inside of him have been killed due to the alcohol and drug fueled episode.

They were gone! At last, after all these years, they were gone. I was free again, truly free. It was glorious to be free—wasn't it?
[. . . .]
But I feel awful.
Well—how do you suppose New England would feel today if suddenly all of its inhabitants died?

This was a novella or short story from the late 60's or early 70's.
A novelette, it was first published in Galaxy Magazine, June 1960.

Two Baltimore-based photographers have been following the city's "community cats" with their cameras for over 5 years.
Of the estimated 50 million feral cats currently living in the United States, 185,000 are thought to reside in the City of Baltimore. Photographers Elizabeth and Jason Putsché have encountered more than their fair share.
The duo have been following and photographing Baltimore's "community cats" for over five years now. From boat slips to rowhouses, the Putsché's have few problems finding their subjects, even beyond city limits. "We have found that cats live everywhere—suburban, urban, rural," Elizabeth tells us. "They are amazing at adapting to their surroundings."
Elizabeth also helped advocate for the city's current Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) policy, in place since 2009. It's an approach (the definition of which is right there in the name—feral cats are trapped, spayed or neutered, and then returned to the area they where they were found) that has gained popularity across the country in recent years and is endorsed by the Humane Society of the United States and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).
As WMAR reported earlier this year, prior to the TNR policy being implemented, Baltimore residents who fed "community cats" were subject to citation. Animal advocates have long argued that such punitive policies only lead feral cats to roam longer distances in search of food, thus increasing call volumes at local Animal Control offices. Although it's difficult to tell just how much of an impact TNR has on feral cat populations, local SPCA officials have noted a reduction in shelter euthanasia rates.

"We're in the championship game, and that's what we expect out of them, and I think these kids are going to step up to the challenge."
As long as the Grizzlies (8-2) have been title contenders, they have relied on the wing-T offense, challenging opponents to contain them on the ground. That approach won't change against the top-ranked and unbeaten Russets (11-0).
"Everybody knows what we're going to do every play. It's obvious, when we run tight pitch 100 times, you know what the next play is going to be," Eiguren said. "It's just our line being better than the other guys. That's what it comes down to."
Fruitland averages 409.9 yards per game, with 309.2 of those coming on the ground. In a semifinal win over Gooding last week, senior running back Phoenix Ruffin had 243 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
While Ruffin is the workhorse, senior Caleb Ziegler, juniors Canaan Bourcy, Ethan Villalobos and Jordan Eggers and sophomore quarterback Cole Eiguren provide the Grizzlies with a variety of offensive weapons.
"That's the neat thing about the wing-T. If they're trying to take one back away, then we're trying to get the ball to the next back, and he's going to be open," Tracy said. "If one guy is getting all the carries, the other ones are doing all the blocking. Those guys understand that, and they're not selfish by any means.
"They know that their time will come, and they're willing to do all that extra blocking for the other guy."

Andy Poling, Grant Gibbs, and Jeff Taylor: All three of these young men have big games coming up this weekend, Grant tomorrow and Andy and Jeff on Saturday. Grant will also be playing Saturday, in either the championship game or in the consolation game.
Grant Gibbs: Grant and his Linn-Mar Lions (19-4) advance to the semi-finals of the Class 4A basketball championship (http://www.thehawkeye.com/Story/Boys-basketball-pairings-030608) against Iowa City High (23-1). Boy, this one looks like it's going to call on Grant, Zach Bohanon, and the rest of the Linn-Mar Lions to reach deep into their bag of tricks to pull out a win. I think Iowa City has already beaten Linn-Mar twice during the regular season.
We need to have our tiny heads leaned up against the radio dial screaming for the Lions. Semifinal winners will meet in the chanpionship game at 6:00 pm Saturday (8:00 pm Iowa time); consolation game at 11:45 a.m. Saturday (1:45 pm. CST).
Jeff Taylor: The Hobbs Eagles play in the first round of New Mexico 5A tournament play, as the #2 seed (Clovis is #1 seed). I believe their opponent will be the #15 seeded Valley Vikings of Albuquerque.
Andy Poling: Andy's Westview team plays Grant in the second Round of the OSAA Class 6A basketball tournament.
Time Saturday for Andy's Game: 7:00 PMNote: I'm leaving for the WCC tournament at 11:00 am Friday and am uncertain about internet connections at our hotel in SD, so I'm posting this ahead of time.
DES MOINES — Linn-Mar is the defending Class 4A state champion and with five straight appearances at the state tournament is enjoying the best run of any Metro program since Cedar Rapids Regis made seven straight trips to the capitol city from 1989 through 1995.
Yet heading into the first of today's 4A state semifinals opposite Mississippi Valley Conference rival Iowa City High, the Lions feel like a decided underdog. Or at least they're talking that way.
"We're big underdogs going into that," Linn-Mar senior leader Grant Gibbs said. "We're happy just to have another chance at them as good of a team as they are. Hopefully, it's going to be a great game. They're an incredible team and (they have) great talent and they really play well together, so it's going to be a great test."
Top-ranked and top-seeded City High beat Linn-Mar twice during the regular season and handed the Lions their only loss last season.
"The two first ones were good and they went to the wire," Linn-Mar Coach Chris Robertson said. "We just hope we can hang around and compete to the end and maybe we'll have a shot at the end."
Linn-Mar is in the midst of its fifth straight 20-win season and its fifth straight final four appearance, but the Lions are still poor-boying it a little bit when talk turns to City High.
"Obviously, it all starts with Gatens and you're going to have to defend him because he's the real deal," Robertson said."
Linn-Mar junior Zach Bohannon is looking forward to the weekend.
Bumping for the consolation round game for Grant at 11:35.
Game story for Grant here (http://www.gazetteonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?Date=20080307&Category=SPORTS&ArtNo=392102636&SectionCat=rss02&Template=printart).
Try as he did Friday, the Grant Gibbs still healing from a broken wrist suffered in January wasn't the same player as the junior who helped Linn-Mar win it all a year ago. With full health, he'll be an asset to Gonzaga's perennial powerhouse the next few years.
We're counting on posters from Hobbs and Iowa for reports since ace reporter ZagNative is basking in the San Diego sun.
Jeff was given the game ball after the end of the game and it was really neat that he was emotional, shedding tears. He seems to really understand the history here and the appreciation that the fans here had for him. He is now the all time leading scorer in Hobbs High history. 1625 in two years. Hopefully three games left. I believe they play wednesday at 4:25 pm in albuquerque at The Pit in the quarterfinals of the state tourney. Unfortunately I will be in Houston from Monday until Friday. Pray that they make it to Saturdays championship game for a possible fourth game against Clovis.
Thanks, crescd. Jeff sounds like another European we had here at Gonzaga who wore his emotions on his sleeve: Ronny Turiaf.
Good luck and congrats to Jeff and Hobbs!
The roster said Josh Hardin was eight inches shorter than Andy Poling, but the Grant senior didn't give an inch under the basket Saturday.
Hardin scored 10 of his season-high 14 points in the first quarter and helped ignite the Generals to a 73-57 victory over Westview in second-round OSAA Class 6A playoff basketball at Grant High School.
The win propelled Grant (19-6), a Portland Interscholastic League No. 1 seed for the first time in 21 years, to the eight-team championship tournament, which begins Thursday in Eugene.
The loss meant the end of the road for Westview (13-13) and closed the book on a prolific four-year prep career for the 7-foot Poling.
After falling behind 10-2, Grant caught fire and Hardin went directly at Poling three times for baskets under the rim that the Westview center couldn't swat away.
"Those baskets were huge for us -- and unexpected," Grant coach Tony Broadous said.
Hardin came into the game averaging 3.7 points. He practiced shooting over Poling by going against 6-8 teammate Mike Moser.
"The coaches told me to go straight at him," Hardin said. "I'm used to being the small guy inside."
Poling, who scored one point in the first half and didn't make a field goal until there was 1:12 left in the third quarter, finished with 10 points. The Gonzaga-bound player scored 1,661 in his Westview career.See you on campus soon, Andy! Have a great summer!
Good for Jeff! The last article I saw, he was not listing an offer from Gonzaga. Looks like a great kid, though.

5 Service Battalion (5 Svc Bn), or 5e Bataillon des services (5 Bon Svc) in French, is a deployable field unit of the Canadian Forces. It provides second and limited third line Combat Service Support to units throughout 2nd Canadian Division (2 CA Div). Located at CFB Valcartier, 5 Svc Bn is composed of a battalion headquarters and four functional companies: Transportation, Supply, Maintenance, and Administration. Administration Company is unique in that it provides first line support to the battalion itself, while the remaining companies provide second and limited third line support to units across 2 CA Div.

5 Svc Bn generates Forward Support Groups (FSGs) formed of personnel from each company in order to support domestic and international operations. 5 Svc Bn is a robust force generation unit that is capable of providing two company sized FSGs to support operations at any given time.  5 Svc Bn also has the temporary mandate to generate the Decontamination Company for the Canadian Forces.

The battalion is composed of an integrated and cohesive team of active military members and public servants. Soldiers must maintain their soldiering and war-fighting skills to a high degree of proficiency, while concurrently developing expertise in their respective trades.

The battalion's primary focus is on conducting and training for operations; however, the unit also provides combat service support on a daily basis to 5 CMBG and 2 CA Div. 5 Svc Bn has, over the past two decades, regularly generated, trained, and deployed the National Support Element (NSE) for several Canadian deployments.

The unit motto is Devoir avant tout which translates to Duty Above All.

History

5 Service Battalion (5 Svc Bn) was officially formed on 1 September 1968, however, the unit's roots can be traced back to around the start of World War I through the history of its functional companies: Transportation, Supply and Maintenance. These three companies are descendants of the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps (RCASC), the Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps (RCOC), and the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (RCEME) respectively.

The Royal Canadian Army Service Corps

Until the formation of the Service Battalions in September 1968, all transportation service was provided by the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps. The RCASC was established, by General Order No. 141, as the Canadian Army Service Corps (CASC), on November 1, 1901. The CASC was modelled directly off the British Army Service Corps to provide all transportation and supply services to the Army. Initially, the CASC consisted of four companies to support the Active Militia units. The Corps grew quickly, doubling the number of units by 1903, and growing by another three companies by 1905. By the summer of 1914 the CASC had a strength of 3000 personnel in eighteen companies.

During World War I, the CASC provided a support element for each Canadian Division, and later on, for the Canadian Corps. With the introduction of motorized vehicles, the CASC carried commodities of a greater range and of greater weights. Motorized transportation also resulted in expanded responsibilities such as driving ambulances and engineer pontoon vehicles, carrying all natures of ammunition, and mobile repair and recovery. In recognition of the services rendered during World War I, His Majesty King George V authorized the designator "Royal" in 1919.

The RCASC, along with the rest of the Army, underwent a rapid expansion as Canada mobilized for the Second World War. The RCASC provided support to Canadian soldiers wherever they went; training in Canada and Great Britain, the campaign in north-west Europe, and in the campaign in Italy. The RCASC moved supplies from the rear areas to the front-lines. They delivered all rations, ammunition, petroleum products, and all other essentials. They did so with a variety of vehicles ranging from three to ten ton trucks, and forty ton tank transporters.

The Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps

The Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps RCOC can trace its roots back to the Canadian Stores Department. Formed in 1871, the Canadian Stores Department was a civil department of the Canadian Government. This civil service was charged with control of forts, ammunition, stores, buildings and an ordnance depot left by the departing British Military. On July 1, 1903, the responsibilities of the Canadian Stores Department were transferred to the Ordnance Stores Corps. In 1907 it was renamed the Canadian Ordnance Corps (COC).

During the First World War, the COC, in conjunction with the CASC, was supporting 400,000 men, 150,000 French civilians, and 25,000 horses. In 1919, for recognition of outstanding service during the War, King George V authorized the "Royal" designation.

In the Second World War, the RCOC had a strength of 35,000 military personnel, not including the thousands of civilian personnel employed at RCOC installations. They procured all the material goods required by the Army, from clothing to weapons. Up until 1944, the RCOC was responsible for maintenance and repair. Ordnance Field Parks, that carried everything from spare parts to spare artillery, supported the Divisions and Corps.

The Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers

The Corps of RCEME was formed on 15 May 1944 as an amalgamation of elements of the RCOC, the RCASC, and the Royal Canadian Engineers. It was modeled after the British Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME). It was born out of lessons learned during the Second World War. It became apparent that due to the increasing complexity of military equipment, technical expertise needed to be pooled to be most effective.

Current Order of Battle

The Unit Headquarters is responsible for command and control of the unit, planning and coordinating support operations and training, issuing direction to the companies, and maintaining liaison with supported and supporting organizations. The unit headquarters includes an Operations cell, Training cell, Battalion Orderly Room, and the command team of the Commanding Officer, the Regimental Sergeant Major, the Deputy Commanding Officer, the Adjutant and the Battalion Administration Coordinator.

Transportation Company is responsible to provide second and limited third line transport, and movements support. The second largest company, it is organized into four platoons: Headquarters Platoon, Field Platoon, Charlie Platoon, and Movements and Postal Platoon. Support tasks executed by the company include the provision of the general cargo and personal transport, refueling services, snow and ice control operations at CFB Valcartier, multi-modal movements planning and control, aerial re-supply and postal services.

Supply Company is the third largest company in the battalion. The company is organized with a headquarters and five platoons: The Systems Control Platoon, Stocks Platoon, Garrison Support Services Platoon, Laundry, Bath, and Decontamination Platoon, and Combat Supply Platoon. Supply Company provides a variety of essential stores and services to supported units both in garrison and while on deployed operations.

Maintenance Company is the largest of the companies in the battalion. The company provides second and limited third line repair and recovery services to assigned dependencies both in garrison and on deployments, as well as providing integral-level support to specified units that do not possess their own integral Land Equipment Management System resources. Maintenance Company consists of a Headquarters, Vehicle Platoon, Artisan Platoon, and Garrison Maintenance Platoon.

Administration Company is the smallest in the battalion and is composed of a Headquarters Platoon, Maintenance Platoon, Transport Platoon, Quarter Master Platoon, Signals Troop, and Finance Platoon. The role of Administration Company is to provide efficient and effective first line support to the other companies of 5 Svc Bn and any external elements that are attached to the unit. This includes the provision of transportation, maintenance, supply, signals, administrative, and food services support that the members of the other companies need in order to successfully carry out their assigned tasks.

It was not simply a matter of musical taste; whether you preferred the Beatles or Stones said much about your personality and character. People who were happy, intelligent, well-adjusted, popular, clean, decent and punctual tended to be Beatles fans.
This is a second level comment as someone who's logged into the site. Pretty neat, huh?
I think I'm supposed to "take a sad song and make it better," but that's beyond my musical ability.
We are a group of 3 people who love animals and without the help of all our supporters and their donations, we wouldn't be able to do what we do. 100% of these profits go to the medical care and well-being of each and every one of the animals we rescue. We can't thank you enough for you continued support and we start this amazing and rewarding (sometimes heartbreaking) journey!

Rediscovering America – Day 9- Another Lesson in Obsession and Public Service →
Rediscovering America Tour- Day 8 – Getting Off I-90 to Return to My Youth
What started out as a "Road Day," where we were really just planning on getting from one primary location to another, ended up being a series of side trips that made the day amazing and reflective, with just a tinge of sorrow and nostalgia.
But first, a word from our "Sponsors" (or at least a benefactor of the trip). Part of the lodging for our trip is being spent at PEO Bed and Breakfasts. For those of you not familiar with PEO, it is a Philanthropic Organization of women, formed to offer scholarships and fellowships for women, primarily in the form of grants and scholarships to college students. All three of our younger daughters have benefitted from these scholarships, and Katie actually spent two years at Cottey College (founded by the PEO), in Nevada, Missouri, in her undergrad days. They are an amazing group of ladies, with thousands of chapters in the US and Canada. More on PEO here…
I like to kid my wife, and her Aunt (both PEOs) that it is a female version of Skull and Bones…mostly because they have a few "secret rituals" and bar men from being anywhere near their meetings. I know…I've been banished downstairs on more than one occasion.
But as it pertains to this trip, they also have an amazing system of B&Bs in place that is available only to the PEO sisterhood, and works as a fundraiser for the local chapters. A PEO makes their home available…bed, and breakfast…for a nominal fee ($40-$75) that is made out to the local chapter. The ladies make nothing personally. We have already had two of these homestays, and have several more planned. But, I am going to guess that none will rival the home we shared with Barbara, in Youngstown, about 25 miles outside of Cleveland. It. Was. Stunning.
Continue reading about the Little League Hall of Fame and World Series, Milford, New York, and my lament (a mini-rant) about the current condition of kid's sports.
Because Barb's home is not open to the public, and I want to protect her location and identity, I am not going to give specifics. But, if we were rating it on Yelp…she would receive the elusive 6th Star to her review. Her sprawling country home could be a museum. It is loaded to the gills with art, antiques, pottery (from the company Barb founded and ran) and amazing attention to detail that made every room an "ooo….ahhhh!" for a kid raised by parents who were consummate collectors.
These pics don't even begin to do justice to the amazing place that is this home. Her late husband was a civil engineer, so the designed and built the home on several acres, including a huge horse barn that was later converted into Barb's thriving pottery business, which shipped her work internationally. I could have spent days there…especially since her breakfasts were absolute perfection…including hand-baked, Schneckin…a pecan cinnamon roll treat that has long been a Christmas tradition at our house.
We bid farewell, and hit the open road, headed for New Palz, NY…near one of the central points on my tour's bucket list, the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome (which I'll cover in another post).
We only have one rule on this trip…if we aren't on a deadline (and we rarely are), if it catches our attention, pull over and stop. While the countryside is lush and beautiful along I-90 through Ohio, Pennsylvania and into upstate New York, it is often so lush that you are basically driving through a close-in, dense wall, that obstructs any views from the highway.
Every once in a while, a bridge pops up that allows a viewpoint of a rive, or some farms.
But for the most part, you need to just watch the markers…and then jerk the car off of the Highway, or suffer "Siri's Wrath" of being told to "Make A U-Turn." So it was with the Little League Museum and World Series Stadium, in Williamsport, PA.
Maria Pepe, was the "Jaqueline Robinson" of Little League, in that she was the first to challenge, and break through the gender barrier of participation in 1972. Alas, the case took 2 years to be ruled upon, and by then she was too old to play Little League.
However…LOADS of little girls have played since, with some going into the Little League Record Books. CLICK HERE FOR MORE
My sister Molly played Little League in Parkrose. But, regrettably, none of my five daughters showed even a passing interest in the game as kids. However…my two oldest grandsons are obsessed with baseball…but, the "new variety" of youth baseball, which is the subject of the rant that follows.
Here's a great representation of the path a team needs to follow to get to Williamsport, PA for the World Series. It is an amazing accomplishment. I played on two All Star teams that didn't get beyond the state playoffs. But, we made it to the regionals in Babe Ruth, American Legion, and Connie Mack.
My first introduction to the LL World Series were the telecasts on ABC's Wide World of Sports. They are still covered on ESPN today.

A Short Side Rant about Kid's Sports Today…and Why Their Parents Should Be Shot.
(If you want to skip this, click down to picture of Milford, NY)
First of all, understand that as a Dad to five daughters, I spent most of my time rooting for the boyfriends who played sports…without much chance to root for my own daughters playing sports. There were some brief flirtations with volleyball, gymnastics, track and soccer, but for the most part, they were cheerleaders and score keeps. They are very "girly-girls" who simply pursued other interests.
Then my grandsons came along, and I was introduced into a world of Kid's Sports that was cut of a cloth so unfamiliar, that I finally stopped asking questions about structure, intention, or goals, because it became very clear that most of these were established by the parents, for the parents, and of the parents…who are all out of their freakin' minds with the "need to win."
Little League has an amazingly long tradition, with the right intentions behind the efforts of the organization.
Their mission is clear; "Through proper guidance and exemplary leadership, the Little League program assists children in developing the qualities of citizenship, discipline, teamwork and physical well-being. By espousing the virtues of character, courage and loyalty, the Little League Baseball and Softball program is designed to develop superior citizens rather than superior athletes."
That last line is the very heart of my utter abhorrence of the "new version" of youth baseball.
I am not going to single out the programs in which my grandsons participate, as I have heard similar stories from parents and grandparents across the country. But suffice it to say, that somewhere in the past decade, when the Boomers gave way to the Gen Xers, the Good Ship Sportsmanship went waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off course.
The "leagues" that have formed for the "best players" in certain privileged regions, have formed their own "traveling all star teams" that play other "all star teams," mostly in three-day weekend tournament extravaganzas, complete with "Champions" which get anything from huge trophies, medals, and yes…even Championship rings, if you win.
It is nuts.
My grandsons are above average athletes. They are competitive, and sports obsessed, as were most of the kids my age. The parents? They are nuts. I mean, really, really, really, nuts.
They shower the kids with equipment, countless hours at "off-season" batting cages, specialty camps, and any number of special one-on-one training sessions…ALL BEFORE THESE KIDS ARE EVEN IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL…
They are forcing kids to choose a single sport…well before their bodies are even mature enough, let alone their emotional make-up, to focus on a sport with the determination needed to make it an avocation, rather than a hobby.
These camps are promoted (baseball, football, basketball all have the same whack-job freaks) as "the most logical ticket to a College Scholarship," making the logical assumption that they will be the varsity players in High School and summer programs that will "attract the scouts" of both college and Major Leagues. It's freakin' nuts.
If there is any further evidence needed that we, as a sports-minded nation, have gone completely off of the rails, you need to look no further than the fervor currently being created by the NCAA debate over "Satellite Camps," and what they are doing to the recruiting.
They are completely out of control.
While the Little League Pledge has never been invoked as a requirement (mostly because some whackjob at the ACLU would challenge the "God" part) the ideals of this organization are FAR closer to how we should be thinking and directing the lives of our youth.
I trust in God
And will respect its laws
I will play fair
And strive to win
But win or lose
I will always do my best
Nowhere in this is any mention of, "And I will be sure that my kid gets rewarded with some garish display that makes my parents Facebook Page look more important."
I say all of this…because some of the sideline rants, and emotional outbursts of horrendous, vitriolic language, aimed at coaches, umpires, and other players, that I have witnessed personally, make me sick. The kids still have fun. But, kids will always find a way.
My concern, is that when they get further down the road…and they actually are faced with challenges that they may not always "win," they will crumble…
We are building a generation of entitled, spoiled, poor sports, who will do anything to win. And it sucks…big time.
I hate the new era of doping athletes. I'm not a fan of colleges that spend more and more on athletics, while jacking up the tuitions of the regular students to stratospheric levels that leave them tens of thousands in debt.
But, I refuse to support the concept of "co-opting" what was once good, and simple, and fun, with a genuine reward for consistent, good play.
I played regular season baseball, with local kids, with a huge variety of talents. I played "All Star" tournaments at the end of every regular season. We had special uniforms, and got to travel to the regional playoffs. We got trophies when we won, and the joy of competing when we lost. I never got a ring…because every parent and child playing, knew that that was reserved for REAL World Series players.
This new form of self-aggrandizing sports is bullshit. Period.
OK…Back to the trip.
Another Beautiful Side Trip Town…Historic Milford, New York
The history of Milford, NY is one of those that reminds us that those of us on the West Coast, don't really get what "history" really is. Milford was formed in 1731. That's a mere 50 years before the Constitution of the country was written.
It is gorgeous. It was well worth the time we spent on a bit of a meandering trip onto Hwy. 84 East (it felt cool to see a familiar Sign…except the Eastern version).
There was a bit of irony in this vision…as we hit what turned out to be an almost endless pattern of highway delays due to the almost endless stream of construction. I am all for improving the infrastructure of our nation…but did they have to do it all when we were on the road.
But…hey…apparently, we were headed to the "Promised Land."
Which…as it turned out, may have been Milford, NY.
On of the most interesting aspects of Milford, is that it was the location for the "College of Pragmatism."
I LOVE this… and I will now point it out to my kids, who hate it when I start a sentence with, "You have to be Pragmatic about this!!" when trying to convince me that their plans makes sense.
I am an optimistic pragmatist by nature. I believe that we can do, and be almost anything we choose…as long as we are pragmatic about our methods and goals.
The most modern building in Milford…"new" in 1957.
If you look carefully at the clouds above, you will see a very distinct Pyramid shape, that to me resembles the "Mason's All Seeing Eye" shape that is on the back of the $1 bill. I'm not sure…but it may have been hanging over the town of Hyde Park, NY…where we landed the next day.
On to Rhinebeck, NY and WW1 and the Depression tomorrow.

Thanks for these wonderful posts, Pat. As your former teammate, I too deplore the state of youth baseball today. I was really impressed with Andrew McCutchen of the Pirates and his efforts to help bring youth baseball to inner city kids :

ANSONIA — In another twist in the tight race for the 17th Senatorial District, unofficial results now have Republican state Sen. George Logan as the victor over Democratic challenger Jorge Cabrera.
Unofficial results posted on the Secretary of the State's website on Thursday afternoon showed Logan defeated Cabrera by 65 votes, 18,513 to 18,448, to win his second term representing the district, which covers all or parts of Ansonia, Beacon Falls, Bethany, Derby, Hamden, Naugatuck and Woodbridge.
On Wednesday, unofficial results reported on the website had Cabrera winning by 176 votes, 18,683 to 18,507, to unseat Logan, a 49-year-old Ansonia resident.
The change in numbers can be traced back to a voting machine that failed in Ansonia, according to officials.
Ansonia Republican Registrar of Voters Nancy Valentine said one of the town's two machines malfunctioned on Election Day. She said officials were told they could feed the ballots from the broken machine into the working machine and they wouldn't be counted more than once.
But, Valentine said, some ballots were counted more than once, causing the town to report incorrect figures to the state at first. She said officials resolved the issue, counted the ballots themselves, and the correct results were provided to the state on Thursday.
A message left with John Marini, Ansonia's corporation counsel, on Thursday afternoon wasn't returned.
Gabe Rosenberg, communications director for the Secretary of the State, said the office's website reflects figures provided by municipalities. He said the results reported in the 17th District were updated on Thursday.
Cabrera said he was very surprised to learn the numbers had changed.
Cabrera said his attorneys are looking into the matter.
"It is all happening really quickly and we are trying to gather facts. It definitely doesn't smell right," Cabrera said.
The race was a tight one from the start. Unofficial results had Logan, who was elected in 2016 after defeating longtime Democrat incumbent Joseph Crisco, slightly ahead of Cabrera late on election night. But, by Wednesday morning, the tide had seemingly shifted in Cabrera's favor.
The race will go to a recount. According to the Secretary of State's website, a recount is required when the difference in votes is less than one half of 1 percent of the total votes. The recount is handled by officials in each municipality, and it is expected to be completed next week.
Logan said he hopes the recount bears out that he won the race and he can work to help overcome the divide and improve the community as a whole.
"Whatever the results are, we have to live with them. I am holding on tight and hoping the results turn out the way I want," Logan said.
I never thought I'd see this in a CT race – but Kudos to Secretary of State Merrill and her staff for getting it right even if it hurt her party.
Congratulations to Mr. Logan. Anyone who has dealt with him knows he is a fair and unbiased representative. I have been impressed with his leadership and wish him many more successful terms.

An obscure section of US law became a flashpoint in the Democratic debate and sparked a confrontation between Julián Castro and Beto O'Rourke. Here's why it's so controversial.
Michelle Mark
An obscure part of the US Code became a flashpoint in Wednesday evening's Democratic presidential debate.
Candidates Julián Castro and Beto O'Rourke argued over the ramifications of Section 1325 of the federal immigration system.
Section 1325 makes it a criminal offense to illegally enter the US, rather than just a civil offense, and is the same section the Trump administration relied on while implementing its "zero tolerance" policy that separated thousands of migrant families last year.
One of the most heated moments during Wednesday evening's Democratic presidential debate was an unexpected confrontation between two candidates from Texas over an obscure component of US federal law that has broad ramifications over America's immigration system.
Julián Castro, the former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and former Rep. Beto O'Rourke sparred over Section 1325 of the US Code and how it has impacted the influx of Central American asylum-seekers over the last year.
The confrontation started after O'Rourke vowed not to build walls, cage migrant children, separate families, or criminally prosecute families seeking asylum in the US.
But Castro quickly interrupted, arguing that O'Rourke supports Section 1325, and therefore couldn't uphold his promise not to criminally prosecute migrant families.
Section 1325 was implemented in 1929 and made it a criminal offense to illegally enter the US, rather than just a civil offense.

That distinction is significant — it means a migrant who crosses the border illegally can be charged with a federal misdemeanor, jailed, fined, and deported. Meanwhile, other unauthorized immigrants who may have entered the US legally but overstayed their visas are merely committing civil violations, akin to simple traffic violations.
The code reads:
"Section 1325 sets forth criminal offenses relating to (1) improper entry into the United States by an alien, (2) entry into marriage for the purpose of evading immigration laws, and (3) establishing a commercial enterprise for the purpose of evading immigration laws."
"Let's be very clear. The reason that they're separating these little children from their families is that they're using Section 1325 of that act, which criminalizes coming across the border to incarcerate the parents and then separate them," Castro said during the debate. "Some of us on this stage have called to end that section, to terminate it. Some, like Congressman O'Rourke, have not. And I want to challenge all of the candidates to do that."
Section 1325 was the legal basis for separating thousands of migrant families last year
The "zero tolerance" policy that the Trump administration implemented in the spring of 2018 attempted to use Section 1325 to prosecute 100% of the adults illegally crossing the US-Mexico border.
Before the "zero tolerance" policy, authorities used discretion at the border and generally only prosecuted migrants who had extensive criminal records or were suspected of human trafficking or gang ties.
But the heightened rigor from "zero tolerance" meant that all adults who were prosecuted for the illegal entry misdemeanor had to be brought before a judge and jailed, thereby separating them from any children they had arrived with, since federal law also prohibits children from being detained with their parents.

Since the bulk of the migrants apprehended at the border in recent years have come as part of family units, the policy resulted in untold thousands of children forcibly separated from their parents.
O'Rourke has previously defended Section 1325, telling CNN's Jake Tapper in a June 16 interview that the law was necessary to hold certain criminals accountable.
"If somebody is attempting to smuggle human beings into the United States, if they are attempting to cross illegal drugs into this country, I want to make sure that we have the legal mechanism necessary to hold them accountable and to detain them to make sure that they do not pose a threat to this country or to our communities," O'Rourke said on CNN.
During the debates, Castro argued that other sections of the US Code already cover those concerns.
"I think that you should do your homework on this issue," Castro told O'Rourke. "If you did your homework on this issue, you would know that we should repeal this section."

Life is a bit interesting, isn't it? It is exhilarating, scary, magnificent and confusing. We all trek along this journey of life with plans. Big and small, we all have plans. We have calendars, goal sheets, dream boards and apps that keep us on track. This works great if you know what you are doing. But what do you do when you're faced with a big, scary decision? How do you decide what to do when you don't know what to do?
Do I take this job offer?
Should I go back to school or get married?
Whether you need to make a fast choice or have time to ponder, here are some steps to help you have the optimal outcome from your decision.
Breathe and do not over think.
Our minds can wander and drive us crazy, especially at 2 a.m. When you're pondering a big decision, only think about things that you have control over. Start every day with an attitude of hope and optimism. You never know what is around the corner and thinking about every horrible scenario is a waste of energy. Every situation really does have at least one solution. With the ups and downs that life has, learn from the journey, figure out your potential and experience new things. Challenges are not a curse. They are an opportunity to learn more about yourself and what you are made of. The end result will give you a confidence, a sense of satisfaction and a feeling of gratitude for things you may not have paid attention to earlier.
We all have different talents and abilities. Most of us know at least a few things that we are good at. Often there are skills we possess that we may not see, but others do. Ask those you know well and trust what they see your gifts are. You may be surprised by their response or may not take it seriously. But take the time to explore their comments. If you are looking for a new career or want a change, try taking a career quiz like this one. Another quiz to help you gain some insight is the Jung, Briggs Myers personality type test. It will give you some guidance about your attributes. List what you are passionate about and find a way to use those passions into solutions.
Know what you stink at.
I do not care for math, to put it politely. I will never be a math teacher, though I do admire them. Knowing that I will never go into a profession that involves a lot of math, makes some decisions easier. If you do not like being outdoors, do not make decisions or create a life that will put you outside. So figure out what you are not good at and what you do not like to do. Life is too short to spend time trying to be or do something you are not. This alone may help you make that big decision!
When we are at a cross roads in life and decisions need to be made, feelings of uncertainty and doubt can creep in. It is easy to be overwhelmed and do nothing. To keep on track, stick to the basics and your schedule. Keep doing what is working. Do not let a bump in the road affect the other areas of your life that are good. Stick with your daily routine, exercise, eat healthy and maintain a connection with those you love. Maintain boundaries and know how to say "no" when necessary. Look at your priorities and dismiss anything that is taking you off course. Focus on only the vital tasks that need to be done.
Make a list of only 5 things to do a day. This small step can help keep things in perspective. It forces you to prioritize what is important and at the end of each day, you will have made progress and maintained some stability in your life. Just keep moving toward the direction you think you want to go. With forward movement come opportunities that you may not have seen coming and quite possibly, clarity for that big decision. Keep working towards what you think you need to do. Do not wait for the big picture or when you think you see things clearly. Small improvement is better than none at all. Nothing will get better sitting on the recliner feeling sorry for yourself.
Little by little and staying on track with your values will help clarify the choice you must make. One strategy described in the best-selling book, Eat That Frog!, describes a scene in the Sahara desert in which travelers focus on make it to the next oil drum, in a long line of oil drums. By setting small, achievable goals, the traveler can eventually make it across the vast, dry desert. Apply this concept and continue moving forward.
When you think you have made the big decision, ask for advice from others. Seek professionals in a field that you may be interested in, talk with people that you admire. Find those who are currently where you want to be. Research what others have done who have been in your situation. Read books about others that have had tough decisions to make. Find books that help you learn more about yourself. There are inspirational videos and articles online that are written by people like you, who have had to make decisions when they were not sure what to do either. Online groups can offer advice or networking options. Getting involved in a local organization may be one way to study out some options. Another benefit is being with people who are usually willing to encourage and help.
Many times in my life I have wished that God would send me a big blueprint in the mail with every detail in my life that He would like me to do. As wonderful as that sounds, that is not how He works. There is great learning and peace that comes from prayer, especially when faced with life's major decisions.
First, learning comes from having faith and trust that God is very aware of you and your circumstances. We learn patience and how to quiet the things around us as well as our minds. We learn what is important and that we need to take the time to pray or meditate. It is in these quiet times that we allow our mind to be open. Ideas, thoughts and solutions can openly flow and inspiration can be received. We need to be quiet and listen.
Second is the peace that prayer and meditation offer us. Even if we do not immediately receive an answer to a prayer, there is a clarity that comes knowing that God is in control. He will not prompt you to do something that would be detrimental to your life. Tender mercies and miracles are often in the works and we cannot see them. They can come through God, but remember that He often works through others too.
Do not stray from your morals and foundational beliefs.
People are often tempted to make a decision that they would not normally make if they feel they are in a corner. Do not make a decision that goes against your morals. Circumstances come and go, but your integrity is something you want to maintain. Nothing will compare to the feeling of knowing that you were honest and fair with others and true to yourself. You never know who is watching you and may see you as an example. There are plenty of news articles that come out almost daily of people who have chosen to have dishonest business practices, devastate their family by affairs, abuse or abandonment, ruined friendships and destroyed their reputation.
Do not give up, you are becoming awesome!
When we feel that we are stuck, decisions are made based on fear, or the "what if's".
What if I don't find a person I am compatible with and want to marry?
What if I do not get another job offer at my current pay?
What if I move and hate my new location?
What if I cannot find good friends?
What if this is as good as my health, finances, kids, or life will ever be?
Do not use obstacles in your life as an excuse to do nothing, make a lazy decision, or to bail. You will never know what you are capable of accomplishing if you walk away. We do not accidently fall into our success. It takes perseverance and tenacity. Some of the best accomplishments in life have happened to those who kept hanging on. You will learn so much about yourself and what you are made of. A deeper sense of triumph and understanding of who you are will be one of your rewards. Sticking with it builds character and strength. When future decisions need to be made, you will have your past experience to lean on. You will know that you have the ability to stay on track and see things through to the end.
1. The harder I work, the luckier I get.
2. If you have time, 'sleeping on a problem' often leads to a clear choice. Your mind works in the background and sends you the results when a decision is ready.
3. Life is not something that just happens to you while you weren't looking. Take part! Take charge! You are what you make of yourself, not the result of someone else's decisions.
These three things have been a guide and at times a comfort. I hope they shine a bit of light for you.
Sometimes when "leaning forward in the foxhole" you eventually have to fix bayonets and go forward over the wall.
