Tim Hortons and the Canadian Forces
So while there may be other Canadian coffee brands out there, I usually go to Tim Hortons. Now not a huge coffee and donut fan, I do have a soft spot for this chain.
You see, while I taught in Asia from 1996-2015, the only time I could go to Tim's was on my few times i came home.
Now while I was in Japan, Tim Hortons did open up in China. Not sire if they got into Korea but they didn't go into Japan.
Now of all places you could get a Tim's double double, was Kandahar Airfield.
I never got there, but Tim's went to Afghanistan. And many of our troops and our allies enjoyed Tim Hortons coffee.
I even heard when the American commander ordered that all other fast food spots close, he insisted that Tim's remained open.
I guess he got hooked on Boston Cream donuts and our Double doubles.
So I continue to get a coffee from them when I can as a thank you for theor service in providing a cup of coffee to those who went over.

Cadet sport uniform
Back in December 2024, our unit received a new sport type uniform for our physical training nights. Army green with the Cadet cap badge and our unit number on the pant legs and on the back of the jumper.
Pretty cool, I just need to motivation to exercise
