Cheryl ========================================================== About 500 soldiers from the joint [Canadian] taskforce headquarters will move from their Kingston base to Ottawa in trailers for a MILLENNIUM TRAINING exercise called JOINT START II ... The [Canadian] military will iron out any kinks before launching the second phase of their training exercise in May. A third is scheduled for September when more military units will participate ... But the military HOPES government and businesses will deal with their own Y2K problems before the millennium arrives, admitting it can't cover the country from coast to coast... A preliminary report on the millennium mission, dubbed Operation Abacus, warns that the 60,000 soldiers put on alert -- 20,000 available to be dispatched to trouble spots -- and the available resources can't handle a country-wide crisis. "Sorry, but 20,000 troops can't be everywhere and do everything," said Maj. John Blakeley. SIGH --- Sure would be nice to go back to the 70's. Cheryl CHEEKY KID - got any comments about what Canadian Military is doing?? Think they're doing this because your VCR or microwave or personal PC's gonna fail?
