The British Army usually goes to Suffield for live firing exercises.
Locals call it 'the British block'.

I forgot to mention, you got mooned.

Looked more like Canadian bacon to me.

I figured the locals were just proud of their pigs and wanted us to see them.

Why do they put pants on them?

Were they military people that were mooning you or civilians?

If it was civilians, then it has to be an Alberta thing. When I was working out there (I am born and raised in Ontario), the Albertans hated me for some unknown reason. I just did my job and didn't fraternise.
Did most of my drinking in a classier bar than most of them would dare go into.

No, they were civilians. The soldiers I met there had more class.

Camp Wainwright isn't very big. We were bivouaced in a tent city in the middle of a large empty field.
The only fun to be had there was catching prairie dogs.

The CO was nice enough to bus us down to the Edmonton mall one weekend. That place is amazing! Plenty of good looking girls. Easy to meet with a fist full of roses to hand out to them.

That is a civilian thing...They don't like 'newcomers' whether it be fellow Canadians or anyone else. There is only a select few that behave this way.
The rest of Albertans are really nice people.

Why those definitions always sound like boot camp day one.
