WOW it has been very busy the last few months!

Master Corporal Chadwick and Bombardier Faulk who competed in the 34 Infantry Division Soldier of the Year Competition held in Fort Ripley Minnesota did well and have started a cross boarder rivalry that will be there for the years to come. Through some research this is the first time this has happened that a Canadian has competed in any of these types of events. So once again 38 Brigade is leading the way. Well done!!!

Our Arctic Response Company Group went north to participate in the largest Exercise in Northern Canada to date a gruelling exercise that proved once again that soldiers from 38 Brigade can and will not stop until the job is done.

With the winter serials of BMQ and collective training this Brigade proves to me that we step up to the plate and get the job done. With summer just around the corner The Brigade will have to switch gears and get ready for the Brigade Training Event that will be held from the 28 April until 6 May in Shilo Manitoba this will give our soldiers the opportunity for some very challenging training and a chance to hone their soldier skills.

Once again the tasking bricks are out with the anticipation of summer IT being held in various locations across the country. Wainwright is offering Class B contracts for the summer right from the BTE through until the end of Aug and as an added bonus have put on some nice to have courses during breaks in courses. Ask your Chain of Command about these opportunities and pick your tasking.

I will see you at the BTE in Shilo and Wainwright this summer
