DEPARTURE MESSAGE – GUILD EXECUTIVE OFFICER
I write this, my last message as your Guild Executive Officer (GEO) and Regimental Second
in Command with mixed emotions and no shortage of pride at our collective accomplishments.
I have been honoured to represent this outstanding Regiment as the 2IC and Acting CO
during a very busy period, a time where Dragoons of all ages have again shown consummate
professionalism, selfless dedication and pride of service, just what it means to be a
Dragoon. I look back with immense pride at the accomplishments of this Regiment and the
Regimental family, who have banded together time and again to support each other.
While I head off to my next posting in CEFCOM HQ in Ottawa, know that my heart and passion
forever resides at the home of the Regiment and wherever Dragoons reside/work. I strongly
believe that we are living the vision of the Guild creating one strongly unity family
dedicate to preserving this great Regiment and supporting its members. I also know that
your continued support for them will only get stronger and sincerely hope to bear witness
to the success of our integration and fundraising efforts
As I rumble off down the road, I know that the Regimental Family is in good hands with Maj
Derek Adams as the new R2IC and GEO. I am sure you will afford him the same great level
of support that you did me. We are strong as a family and will remain so with the great
people we have and will always do my part for “once a Dragoon, always a Dragoon”.
Great shooting, Audax et Celer
