The military exercise kicked off at 1830 hrs. and was finally brought to a halt at CFB Uplands at 2315 hrs. in driving rain and total darkness. The deserted base was cloaked in an eerie silence. Reveille was sounded at 0630 hrs. Saturday morning. Following a very fast cleanup and kit check the unit recced the base for rations and settled in for breakfast. At 0800 hrs. the transport section carried the cadets around Ottawa to get the lay of the land. By 1100 hrs. the first objective was reached and the Canadian War Museum was overrun. Following a very careful was a two-seater biplane that , would have beer the envy of their great grandfathers. Having exhausted the staff the unit reboarded to be transported to downtown Ottawa where another foraging party was sent out. Being replenished the troops decided to seek out some type of painful recreational propaganda. Collectively, a move - "Major Payne" was selected. It is a very painful story & some poor major released from the Marines because there was no more killing to do and, the most painful part, he is assigned to run a cadet corps. At the completion of the movie a strategic withdrawal was carried out and an exhausted group very i ction the cadets r ted from the museum to forage for lunch. The cadets were dressed in mufti with new white caps so that they could be easily observed. ' Upon regrouping after the foraging expedition the cadets "rebussed and selected: the national airplane centre as their next objective.

That and the rain kept everyone occupied until rations became a problem and the troops were sent out to forage once again. . Recall was set for 2000 hrs. when the group returned to the base to clean up and prepare for their visit to the Parliament Buildings and the Parliamentary Cafeteria the next morning. The balance of the evening was spent cleaning, shining and pressing kit. At 0630 hrs. Monday the cadets rose and started the process to clear camp. Having eaten, they cadets returned to clean up the barracks, hand in supplies, get dressed and inspected. Before the process was completed the floor was cleaned at least four times and some beds were remade three times before some cadets realized how the system worked. Once the handover was completed the Cadets began the final assault on Parliament. Having toured Parliament the Corps moved to the West Block and met MP Alex Shepherd where arrangements had been made to have lunch with him in the Parliamentary Cafeteria. One can appreciate how hollow legs of cadets are, the bill for 35 cadets ran around $280.00. Being stuffed the cadets were prodded into the bus and home beckoned. The Corps exercise ended when the bus was cleaned in Port at 1715 hrs. At the Movies with Heather Gibson If you like boy meets girl films, this kiss is for you FRENCH KISS Meg Ryan, Kevin Kline, Timothy Hutton Champlain, Whitby 7:00 & 9:30 p.m. Some of the choices this week were "Priest" - too serious, "Village of the Damned" - that speaks for itself. "Gordy" - a pig movie, I think not. "Bad Boys" - nah, and "Kiss of Death" - not in the mood, Last week's review was a Romantic Comedy, this week's is a Comedy Romance, I like to . mix it up. a little so I don't fall into a rut. I can't seem to stay away from these types of films. I don't care if it's Oscar material or not. There is nothing better than walking out of the theatre feeling great, and it helps when you go with someone who has the best laugh in the world. My friend Ann and I had such a good time people were turning to admire our zest for life, (I don't think we were ng them). I' wish they could come up with an Oscar category for this type of film, there is nothing "artsy" 'and there are no fabulous spz«al effects, no great, costumes, no gut wr g dramatic but you just FEEL so happy and positive, it deserves something. This is a great Boy meets Girl movie. Meg Ryan sweet i t Girl Kate. Hand thief and used Woman to smuggle some jewellery into the country, and at every fiancee Boy Charlie is played by Timothy Hutton. Boy must go to France for awhile, wants Girl to come. Girl is terrified of flying, she can't make it. Girl stays home and waits for Boy. Big mistake. Boy meets GODDESS. Girl forces herself to fly to France to retrieve Boy. Girl meets Man--Frenchman, Kevin Kline. Man agrees to help girl find boy. At some point in' this adventure along the coast of France, Man realizes Girl is a Woman. Together they find Boy and Goddess and from here on it's like watching a well crafted episode of "I Love Lucy". 1 forgot to mention, Man is a t he has his hands in her purse trying tb get it back. Meg Ryan is absolutely luminescent, she sparkles with personality on screen and the chemistry between her and Kevin Kline is magic. Some great looking movies this summer. Tom Hanks is back on board with Kevin Bacon and Ed: Harris in "Apollo. 13". Mel Gibson wearing a kilt in "Braveheart", 1 should research that one. Sean Connery, Richard Gere and Julia Ormand in "First Knight". Michael Crieghton the guy who wrote "Jurassic Park" & "Disclosure" will be "releasing "Congo". It should be an exciting, hot summer.
