( Drill, OC Spray, Rings and âWelcome to Depotâ)
You asked for it. We Delivered.
Episode 26 was an opportunity for Wes, Mike and Erik to sit down and reminisce on their experience at the RCMPâs T Division , affectionately known and referred to as âDepotâ.
For those outside of the organization, the RCMPâs training facility in Regina, Saskatchewan is seen a place similar to many across the world, an academy where police officers learn the profession and gain the basic knowledge needed to protect the public and enforce the law. To those initiated and whom wear the Red Serge and who willfully accept blisters on top of blisters from their high browns, Depot is so much more. Itâs home.
The guys get the chance to discuss how they came about being invited to Depot, their first reactions, favourite practical disciplines, troop life as well as their most feared moments in drill class.
A must listen for anyone at whoâs walked through the guard house, at Depot right now or more importantly for those looking to make Depot a part of their life in the RCMP.
