Motor Transport

We had real stiff training at Rockcliffe and we had men that were in charge of all the flights of the girls and they were very strict and they said, “We’re gonna wear you down to your knees.” We were on that base at Rockcliffe, I guess for a month, month and a half. We saw nobody, you know, but the girls we were with.Interviewer: And then when you came into the service, what did you do? Motor Transport, I learned to drive a truck on Long Beach on the Pacific Coast and between Tofino and Ucluelet there was no connection so you had to drive on seven miles of hard sand when the tide was out to get over to Ucluelet so that’s when I learned to drive and double clutch. The tests I went through in Ottawa... sergeant told me to do this. They wanted drivers. Yes, they were really wanting drivers.
