Brent Abbott - Biography

Linda and I spent 37 years with the CF retiring in 1997. That left me with many positives and the conviction that I had the support and assistance of several friends.Those years were marked with challenges, demanding emotional stress, and great satisfaction.I served in a generous mix of staff and line positions with the airforce,primarily in air transport ( a force majeure of the Trudeau defence policy).Our posting included Moose Jaws (2), Edmonton(2),Trenton (2), Ottawa (3), Toronto(2), Kingston, Sardinia, and Germany with a side tour in Egypt unaccompanied.

The constant in the process was my family.Linda took a vicarious interest in the decision process of the CF.As a function of my frequent absences flying with Air Transport, we rounded out our family with five children by 1974. My family was supportive in all these activities and prospered as a consequence of Linda’s influence because I was absent for many significant events. Events such as my daughter, Kim’s grad from U of A, Peter and Craig’s glider and power wings presentations with Air Cadets, Craig’s graduation from RMC and so on.I did attend some of the significant events, Kim and Greg’s wedding in Edmonton , Peter’s wings ceremony in Moose Jaw,and his winning the bombing award on the CF18 course in Cold Lake; Craig’s graduation from the Air Weapons course as top student, David’s grad in Aeronautical engineering, and Micheal’s graduation from Carleton at the top of the Dean’s list for Accounting. God knows how they succeeded but for that I am thankful.Between them they have given us 11 grandchildren geographically dispersed between Edmonton, Port Elgin, Ottawa, Colorado Springs, Montreal and UAE.

While five children (Kim, Peter, Craig, David and Mike) present many challenges, there were and are a number of rewards. For our last tour in Geilenkirken Germany, our youngest were in university. That should have allowed us significant travel opportunities, but the war in the Adriatic tended to have an overriding influence on my activity. Son David took up triathlon and while representing Canada in the Canary Islands, won a wife who is from Belgium. We did enjoy Europe and have been back several times.

I was presented with the option of retirement or participating actively in the downsizing of the air transport operations, and elected to take my leave of the CF in Edmonton (an Army Base!!). Given that the recession had taken hold, my initial plans vapourized. While Linda was back in Europe on a visit, I took a job. I informed her that the new position was in a great tourist area, several languages were spoken and the people were very welcoming, in La Ronge Sask.The position was a true educational experience to inform me on how others managed a successful civilian flying career. It was a busy year and while Saskatchewan was very generous to me, I returned to Edmonton to accept a position which involved a suitable balance of travel ( mostly to NWT and Yukon) and active engagement with the technological challenges of aviation which I had missed due to administration commitments. I keep current on the Beech C90 and 737.

I have maintained a constant commitment to volunteer positions and not-for-profit activities. Linda and I have enjoyed the opportunity to travel for visits with family and for several cruises. We are enjoying the years and if you are in Edmonton, you are welcome.

John Adams - Biography

After returning to Canada from Oxford in 1967, I spent 28 years in the Canadian Military Engineers. I retired from the Canadian Forces in 1995 but remained with the Department of National Defence as Assistant Deputy Minister, Infrastructure and Environment until 1998.

Now on a different tack, I am Commissioner of the Canadian Coast Guard within the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

Wally, our three children, their spouses and our four grandchildren (all under six) continue to flourish. Between work, family, cycling and hockey life is a slice.

Don Amundrud - Biography

I graduated from Regina Central Collegiate in 1961 and spent 61-62 at RMC (very, very bad academic year for me). Then in ’66 graduated in math/physics from U. of Sask. (Regina) and in ’69 in nuclear engineering from Purdue U., where I met my wife-to-be.

I then worked for Ontario Hydro, AECL, New Brunswick Power and finally the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) based in Vienna, Austria. Spent the first five years with the IAEA in Vienna, the next five years in the Tokyo field office and the final eight years back in Vienna. Highlight of my IAEA career was spending February 2003 as a weapons Inspector in Iraq. Second Iraqi war started mid-March 2003. Retired in May 2003 and moved to Ottawa.

Main activities since retiring: hockey, volunteering at an elementary school, poker group, traveling and spending time with our two grand kids.

Our daughter graduated from RMC in ’96 in electrical engineering and is currently working on a CPA. She and her family (husband and two kids) live in Ottawa. Our son graduated from U. of Maine in mechanical engineering and lives in Carlsbad, California.

I have always been interested in what happened to my class mates from RMC and I managed to find the RMC ’65 web site and have followed that since retiring. I attended the 50th graduating anniversary and had intended to attend the luncheons but the luncheons always fell on a day that I had hockey or was volunteering at a nearby school.

Doug Armstrong - Biography

I was having so much fun I stayed in the Army 24 years. I met my current wife (and only wife) in our fourth year and we have 2 girls, one an accountant with White Rose Nurseries in Markham and one an engineer with Sun Microsystems in California. We also have one grand daughter. We have lived in many places, our current abode being Newmarket north of Toronto.

While in the military, I saw lots of time in Germany and England and was fortunate to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering at the US Naval Post Graduate School in California. I got out of the military in 1985 and joined Spar Aerospace, the maker of the Shuttle CanadaArm. I have been with them ever since. Their name has changed to Macdonald Dettiwiler but they still do space robotics. I have been the Manager of Electrical Engineering for the last three years. Probably my fantastic education at RMC got me the job.

Stephen J. Arnold - Biography

After graduation, I spent four years with the regular navy including one posting as a watch-keeping Supply Officer on HMCS Columbia. Four more years with the naval reserves included one year as A/CO of HMCS Cataraqui in Kingston. I have my CD.

I'm in Kingston because of my appointment as Professor, School of Business, Queen's University. I've been here since 1974 when I completed my PhD at the University of Toronto. I teach marketing strategy and retail management to BCom students. I also teach research methodology to MSc and PhD candidates.

Wife Carynne is responsible for Kingston Literacy and daughter Caroline pursues her carpentry craft. Caroline earned a Queen's BA and an Algonquin College Diploma in heritage carpentry. Son Paul just graduated from U of T with a BMus in composition. He enjoys student life, however, and hopes to continue as a graduate student.

I fight a losing battle with girth even though I row on Collins Bay in the summer and speed skate with the Kingston Striders during the winter. I do enjoy my pint.

Vil Auns - Biography (Sept 2015)

Vil was born in Riga, Latvia on 15 June 1943, left with his family during the war in 1944 and lived in Sweden till 1948, then Ireland till the summer of 1949. Vil and his family finally arrived at Pier 21 in Halifax, N.S. on 9 Aug 1949 on the MS ACQUITANIA. They finally settled in Montreal, P.Q. where he grew to puberty.  He and his family became Canadian Citizens in 1952.

Vil joined the Royal Canadian Navy in September 1960 and attended the College Militaire Royal de St. Jean from September 1960 till the summer of 1963. He received his commission as Sub-Lieutenant in May 1965, graduating from the Royal Military College of Canada with a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Electrical Engineering.

This was followed by the required training to qualify for operational watch-keeping duties at sea in HMCS QU'APPELLE and HMCS YUKON. Vil then attended the TENTH LONG WEAPONS COURSE in 1968, followed by Department Head and Weapons Officer duties in HMCS NIPIGON and HMCS KOOTENAY, from Feb 1969 to Mar 1973. During this period, whilst on watch, Vil controlled the operations of these ships at sea in numerous national and international exercises. In addition, during February 1972, Vil received his official Command Qualification to Command Canadian surface warships.

In 1974 he was promoted to LCDR and was selected to attend the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, graduating Dec 1976 with a Master of Science in Engineering Acoustics. Vil then assumed the duties of Executive Officer in HMCS ASSINIBOINE until his posting to the Canadian Forces National Defence Headquarters in Feb 1979. Promoted to Commander in January 1980, Vil assumed the duties of Section Head, Surface Ship Weapon Systems and Sensors Requirements until June 1982, being responsible for defining their requirements and staffing their acquisition.

He was then selected to attend the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, graduating in Jun 1983. This was a graduate level curriculum on policy, operations and management. The intent was not only to learn on global issues but also to establish personal networking with navies from the world. In Vil`s case it was 35 navies. He still stays in touch with many of his old classmates today.

Vil assumed command of HMCS FRASER from Dec 1983 until Aug 1985 and truly enjoyed being with a great ship`s company in various exercises at sea from the North Sea to the southern Caribbean.

This was followed by a posting to the position of Vice-Commandant of the Canadian Forces Fleet School in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In this capacity he administrated and directed operations of an organization of 600 staff and the average student population of 1400.

In August 1988, Vil joined the Canadian Patrol Frigate (CPF) Project as the Operational Requirements Manager (ORM) for six years. He provided the CPF project office a Command perspective and determined/clarified operational priorities during contractor negotiations. Due to his extensive Combat System experience and knowledge, his major activity became to be personally involved to ensure that the CPF Combat Systems (CS) were in fact developed in accordance with the formal/contracted requirements. In 1992 he also assumed the duties of Senior Trials Director (STD) of the CPF CS Trials Program - overseeing all of the warfighting weapon and sensor Trials Directors, and personally ensuring that the CS was in fact properly integrated and correctly controlled by the CPF Command and Control System (CCS).

Vil supervised the development of the major CS trials and their data collection plans; and directed those trial activities. He then led the PMO CPF technical deliberations to the solutions of trials arisings.

Vil also instituted and implemented the HALIFAX Class Weapon Certification program, which verified that each commissioned HALIFAX Class frigate and their Commissioning crew were trained and ready in all respects - prior to embarking and using live missiles and munitions for their trials program. He was given, by the Commander, Maritime Command, the exclusive Certification Authority for all CPFs/HALIFAX Class frigates - both those under the PMO CPF trials program and those that had become operational within Maritime Command.

In parallel, Vil initiated the development, monitored that development and then approved the initial HALIFAX Class Above Water CS Drill Procedures, which were used during the Trials program – and then were formally passed on to the Canadian Navy for operational use.

Leaving the CPF Project Office in 1994, Vil was posted to NDHQ as the Section Head in charge of Business Planning for DND’s Department Information Services Organization (DISO) and was also in charge of staffing DND’s Information Management Strategic Plan.  

Vil retired from the RCN on 4 April 1995.

Two weeks later Vil joined Lockheed Martin Canada (then Unisys GSG) for his next 16 years of work that primarily focused on our Canadian Navy.

Vil was primarily employed as the Senior Advisor, Naval Combat Systems since joining Lockheed Martin Canada (LM Canada) in the Spring of 1995.

He was directly involved with DND/Canadian Navy engineers/operators to: plan for the future Combat Systems for the Canadian Navy; and lead the integration of the new Evolved SEASPARROW Missile (ESSM) into the HALIFAX Class CS. 

Vil developed during1997 to 2000, for the Canadian Navy, a Blueprint/Functional Model that detailed the required Functions of a modern Canadian Naval CS, along with its CCS and Information Management System (IMS). It provided descriptions of the perceived functionalities of the required CS Functions, along with the required inputs and output of each of the Functions. The operational requirements that are supported by the proposed CS were provided as a Requirements List.

During 2000 to 2009, Vil primarily worked as the Senior System Engineer for the new advanced Vertical Launch Evolved SEASPARROW Missile (VLESSM) System integration into the HALIFAX Class frigates of the Canadian Navy.  In that capacity he led the development of the Performance and Compatibility Requirements (P&CR) Document (Requirements Document) for the VLESSM System and the project’s  Master Test Plan.

·         attended numerous national and international meetings with the DND Project Manager (PM)  ESSM as the VLESSM System expert.  He provided guidance to DND/Navy staff on HALIFAX Class CS related matters and provided overall VLESSM System insight to the LM Canada integration team.

·         provided system engineering support to the DND PM ESSM with respect to the integration of the Mk 73 Mod 3 CWI Solid State Transmitter (SSTX) into the HFX Class CS. This included in leading the LM Canada team to develop the SSTX Trials Plan and Procedures that were executed for the acceptance of the SSTX into the Fleet.

·         was very involved with Raytheon IDS engineers and the Canadian Navy/NDHQ engineers to plan the way ahead for the implementation and particularly the testing requirements of the Uplink capability (updating the ESSM in flight to the engaged target) for the ESSM fitted HFX Class frigates.

Vil retired from LM Canada 2 June 2011.

John Bardsley - Biography (Nov 2018)

I was born in St. Catharines, Ontario, July 27th, 1942. My wife, Anne, a retired military Nursing Officer and Flight Nurse, and I live in Sidney, BC. I am the proud father of two sons, Jeff (and wife Angela) in Ottawa, and Paul who has two sons, Jordan and Tye, living in Brisbane, Australia.

My early education took place in St. Catharines ending with grade 13 at the Collegiate in 1961. During high school I was active in the Army Cadets from 1956 to 1961 and was a member of the rifle team shooting under DCRA rules. In 1960 I did summer training with the Lincoln and Welland Regiment. After graduation from Grade 13 I attended RMC from 1961 to 1963.

After leaving RMC in 1963 I was posted to the RCASC School in Camp Borden and was the Physical Education Officer before finishing my officer training with the OCP programme. I was then posted to the Experimental Brigade Service Battalion in Camp Gagetown, NB where I took my Lt. to Capt exams. Subsequently I was posted to 4 Transport Company in Montreal.

I left the Service in 1966 and enrolled at Queen’s University in Kingston and while there belonged to the Prince of Wales’s Own Regiment from 1967 to 1971. My original plan was to become a high school physical education teacher, but in order to do so I had to take biology., and was smitten. As a result my BA in 1967 led to a MSc in biology in 1969, and a PhD in parasitology. Half way through the latter I was encouraged to go into Medicine by the Medical Officer of the PWOR, Dr. Dawson Einarson, who was also the Admission’s Officer of the Queen’s Medical School. Due to overlapping courses between my graduate studies and medicine I was admitted to second year medicine in 1971 and applied for MOTP and was accepted. I obtained a MD in 1974. (During my medical studies I managed to finish my PhD in 1972. The challenge of juggling graduate studies, medical school and being a father proved to be one of the busiest, yet most enjoyable and rewarding times of my life). I finished my initial medical training with an Internship at KGH and the Hotel Dieu in 1974-74

After finishing a straight surgical internship in 1975 I was posted to CFB Cold Lake as a MO. While there I did Flight Surgeon training at DCIEM in Downsview. While at Cold Lake I completed my Private Pilot’s Licence. After Cold Lake I was posted to the Directorate of Preventive Medicine in Ottawa as the Co-ordinating Officer of the Life Quality Improvement Programme. While there I took the governmental French training and was certified bilingual. After DPM I was posted as the Base Medical Officer to CFB Comox. After 2 years in Comox I was selected for specialty training in Public Health and Occupational Medicine at UBC, graduating with a MSc in Health Administration and, after exams, qualifying for Fellowship in the Royal College of Physicians of Canada. Following that I was posted for a second tour in DPM as Staff Officer responsible for the CF Drug and Alcohol Programme. I attended summer school at Rutger’s University and received a certificate in Addictions. My final posting was to NDMC as the Staff Physician and Director of both the Emergency Room and Outpatients’ Departments.

After retirement I applied for, and accepted a position as a Medical Health Officer with the Vancouver Health Department. At that time I enrolled in the naval reserve serving as a MO with HMCS Discovery in Vancouver. While with the City, the Workers’ Compensation Board (now, Work Safe BC) recruited me as the Director of the Rehabilitation Centre at WCB headquarters in Richmond. I served as the Director for two years and took an opening as a Medical Advisor at the branch office in Victoria where Anne and I wished to retire. We bought a house in North Saanich and eventually ended up in Sidney where we still live. We are both happily retired since the turn of the century.

My pastimes include target shooting with the North Saanich Rod and Gun Club, collecting militaria, keeping abreast of local, national and international politics, and staying as fit and healthy as possible. I am a Life Member of the BC Aviation Museum and the RMC Club. My wife and I are Rotarians and are very active in other charitable causes.

Reg Bird - Biography

I left the military in 1968 after serving three years in the frozen north of Alberta at Cold Lake weapons test range. (Fortunately our country wasn't attacked during that time!) I next took a job with "ednomton telephones in Edmonton (still the frozen north) becoming President in 1985. After they realized what they had done, I was quickly shipped off to Winnipeg (still the frozen north) to become CEO of MTS, the Manitoba Telephone System.

I left MTS in 1990 to take a position with Northern Telecom, now Nortel Networks, back in Edmonton (still the frozen north) as Vice President for Canada West selling equipment to some of the very companies I ran so they could beat up on each other in the new competitive telecom environment.

Today, Susan and I have escaped the frozen north and I am President of Nortel Networks for Asia South Pacific with homes in both Sydney, Australia and Singapore.

Aussi bien vous raconter mon parcourt de vie avant de devenir poussière.

Jean-Louis Bolduc est né en 1942 à Malartic, ville minière de l'Abitibi. À l'âge de 14 ans, il suit un cours en mécanique automobile, achète un "bazou" pour le simple plaisir de remonter le moteur et se dirigera plus tard vers le génie mécanique. À quinze ans, il s'intéresse aux mines d'or et il y fait ses premiers placements, encouragé par son employeur d'été; les finances et la gestion de portefeuille l'intéresseront toute sa vie. À seize ans, il travaille deux étés dans une mine d'or locale et se convainc que des études universitaires lui offriront un meilleur avenir.

En 1960, il choisit le CMR plutôt que l'École Polytechnique. La transition du CMR vers RMC pour la troisième année de génie mécanique fut très éprouvante et la plus marquante de toute sa vie. Après de nombreux échecs académiques au premier semestre, il lui fallait étudier mieux avec moins d'effort pour arriver moins épuisé aux examens d'avril et réussir sans échec. Sa vie durant, Jean-Louis répète que réussir cette troisième année a été l'épreuve physique et psychologique la plus difficile de toute sa vie.

Armé aussi d'une technique en génie aéronautique et d'une formation de base en gestion, sa première affectation le mène vers Trenton, au 6 Repair Depot. À son grand plaisir, il a le privilège d'y choisir les membres de son équipe de projet et de diriger la conception des devis et le développement du prototype préproduction pour l'installation des plus récents instruments de navigation dans l'avion d'entraînement T-33. Il se découvre une passion déterminante pour la gestion et l'organisation. Il termine son service obligatoire à l'École de radar et communications de Clinton.

Il s'inscrit à l'Université McGill. La veille de son licenciement, le chef du personnel des forces armées lui propose d'enseigner au CMR de Saint-Jean et de poursuivre son MBA en même temps. Jacques Castonguay, le futur directeur des études du collège le dirige pour sa thèse de maîtrise en leadership et motivation. Il devient membre du premier trio de la future faculté d'administration du CMR. Il enseigne la gestion du personnel, les principes de gestion et l'organisation de l'entreprise. Il entraîne l'équipe représentative d'escrime du collège.

En 1972, après une année de mandats en organisation et méthodes à la direction des services de gestion du Ministère fédéral des communication, il entreprend des mandats organisationnels dans plusieurs ministères pour le compte du Bureau des conseillers en gestion du gouvernement fédéral. Une expérience qui élargit ses horizons et ses connaissances de la fonction publique et de l'appareil gouvernemental.

En 1975, Il poursuit ses études à The Advanced School of Management de Banff en Alberta avant de se retrouver à la Société canadienne d'hypothèques et de logement (CMHC). Il y établit un service conseil en gestion et participe à la transformation organisationnelle de la société. Puis, devenu responsable du bureau d'Ottawa, il contribue au développement urbain de la région, au financement de projets d'habitation et administre un portefeuille immobilier. Promu à la tête des services professionnels au siège social, il résout des problèmes techniques en collaboration avec d'autres institutions nationales, provinciales et municipales et conçoit des normes d'habitation nationales et des programmes de formation pour les architectes, ingénieurs, évaluateurs et inspecteurs de la société. Finalement, il prend en main la direction du développement informatique qu'il transforme pour entreprendre le projet de développement technologique le plus ambitieux qu'ait connu la société.

Conjointement, il enseigne à la faculté d'administration de l'Université d'Ottawa et éprouve une grande satisfaction à y enseigner différentes matières et à transmettre l'expérience acquise sur le terrain. Il préside aussi la commission scolaire de sa communauté, ce qui lui permet d'accompagner ses enfants dans leur scolarité.

En 1985, il devient vice-président de Montréal Trust responsable de la conception des nouveaux produits et processus d'affaires, prépare les devis techniques pour leur développement et voit à la mise en place, au bon fonctionnement et à la formation du personnel d'un océan à l'autre. Cette filiale de Power Corporation connaît une croissance énorme au cours des cinq années qu'il y passe. Il sera aussi à titre d'investisseur, membre de plusieurs conseils d'administration de sociétés immobilières.

Puis le désir de démarrer une entreprise conseil en organisation et système l'anime pour les douze prochaines années. Il fournit ses services à de grandes entreprises nationales ayant leur siège social à Montréal. À l'âge de la retraite, il se joint à son épouse, Margie, son unique et grand amour et pratique le courtage immobilier, une mission qui le satisfait et le rapproche de sa communité. Ils ont mis sur cette terre deux fils et une fille et quatre petits enfants dont ils sont très fiers.

Par passion et vocation, Jean-Louis aime transformer les organisations des grandes entreprises et gérer leur transition vers la nouveauté et la performance. Lui importent le sens de la mission et de la contribution de chacun, la pérennité des relations harmonieuses et du travail de qualité. Doté d'un esprit ouvert, curieux et novateur, c'est un être humain, accueillant, respectueux et entreprenant. Aussi modeste puisse être sa contribution, il a toujours senti le besoin de participer à l'évolution de l'humanité.

Before I turn to dust.

Jean-Louis Bolduc was born in Malartic QC, a gold mining town. Two summers working underground, extracting stones, and breathing dust, convinced him that a higher education would offer more opportunities.

He joined CMR Saint-Jean in 1960, graduated at RMC in mechanical engineering and transferred to CFB Trenton, 6 Repair Depot where he managed the design and installation of new navigation instruments for the pre-production prototype of the T-Bird aircraft for its retrofit in the entire fleet.

At the Radar and Communication School of CFB Clinton, he taught instrumentation to future officers and then moved to CMR Saint-Jean to teach mathematics in his first year. While completing an MBA at McGill University, he joined the newly founded department of administration. He designed and taught several courses in business administration and completed his thesis in leadership and motivation under the direction of the future dean of studies, Dr. Jacques Castonguay.

In 1971, as a system analyst, he was recruited by the federal Department of communications and a year later joined the Bureau of Management Consulting of the federal government where he completed mandates for the benefit of several government departments.

In 1975, over a ten-year period at Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, was successively the executive officer in charge of the management consulting services that he established, the Ottawa Branch, the corporate professional and technical housing services and finally, the systems development division that he positioned for strategic projects. During that period, he also taught several courses at the faculty of business administration of the University of Ottawa. As president of his local school board, he accompanied his three children during their primary and high school years.

Joining Montreal Trust, a then subsidiary of Power Corporation, as vice-president of operations support, designed corporate products and their business processes, implemented and maintained them during. As an investor and member of several board of directors, directed a significant real estate portfolio.

Cofounder of Info-Consult Solex Inc., he offered consulting services in organization, product and system development to large companies based in the Montreal area.

Retired, he joined his wife Margie in her residential brokerage business while a board member of his condominium association. They share their lives with three children and four grandchildren that they love very much.

Jean-Louis lives in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, Qc and actively practices biking, tennis, cross country skying and hiking.

To dust, not yet.

I really enjoyed CMR but, unfortunately, let a couple of academic subjects force me back to civy street before I could "See the World"!

I had been looking forward to following in the footsteps of my father who was an NO and of my grandfather who had been Commandant of the RMC. I would not have enjoyed the 'Jolly Green'. I am still very proud to been Ex-Cadet.

I joined the Bank of Montreal in Montreal and worked for them in the Toronto area for several years. From there I was hired to open an industrial finance company office in Vancouver. When they folded, I elected to stay in 'God's country' and have been here ever since. For many years, I was in all aspects of the car dealership business. From that I evolved with my love of computers and their capabilities to the IT sector where I have my own company that provides consulting here and abroad.

Since 1972, I have been involved in politics at all levels and for a while in the late eighties and early 90's, I was an assistant to a federal minister. Locally, I was the Campaign Manager for a previous Mayor for 16 years. Currently, I have been President of the group representing the majority of city council (Richmond NPA) since 1995.

While I like my tech toys, my main love is sailing. I have a 37' ketch, Sea Swallow, which provides my greatest relaxation, especially in the spectacular cruising waters that we have here.

In 1966 I married Angela, who hails from Worcestershire, at the Cathedral in Kingston. We have two daughters. One, an Engineer with IBM, is married to a Dutchman and is also living nearby. The other is at UVic in Victoria studying geography and anthropology.

Mike Braham - Biography (2018)

Immediately after graduation I joined HMCS GATINEAU in Halifax and then headed to the UK for submarine training. Following intensive training with the Royal Navy and with apparent logic I was sent to Esquimalt to serve in Canada's US-built submarine, HMCS GRILSE.  It soon became apparent to that outstanding band of professionals in the Canadian submarine service that I was not of the "right stuff" and I was tactfully sent off to do logistcs training in CFB Borden. At the time it was a devastating disappointment that turned out to be the turning point in my naval career.

Following training I returned to Esquimalt as Supply Officer of HMCS QU'APPELLE, followed two years later by an exchange posting to the USN Supply Centre in Oakland, CA.  Now firmly deskbound, a series of interesting an non-naval postings followed including ammunition  and Leopard tank parts procurement; a study on Other Ranks trades that introduced significant career changes that continue to exist today; a tour at NATO Headquarters; and, finally a posting as the first non-army Director of Logistics Operations.

I retired as a Captain (N) in 1987 and went on to spend 12 years with Emergency Preparedness Canada as a Director responsible for national and international emergency planning. A very interesting time with some great people - lots of good ideas but not enough resources to make an impact. A far cry from the huge Department that replaced EPC - no ideas and tons of resources.

On that bitter note I moved back to the DND Mother House in 1999 as Director General Safety where I remained until 30 Sep 08 when I officially retired from public life.

All that of course is fluff compared to my real achievements which have been to stay married to Janet all this time and to raise two great kids - Wendy, a teacher in Mission, BC and Stephen, currently a Director Parks Canada. Between them, they have so far produced three beautiful grandchildren.

In retirement I spend three days a week giving tours at the Diefenbunker Cold War Museum and another day at the War Museum helping out with the Friends of the Canadian War Museum’s used book room. Some time is also spent putting together the periodic class newsletter that has allowed me to re-connect with the class. The rest of the time has been spent on a number of interesting cruises; quality time with the grandkids; and, after having both knees replaced, getting back on to the golf course.
