Exactly.
Did a lot of rappelling near CFB Chilliwack and on the base in Ft. Lewis.

You are correct, those men aren't climbing. I once got to train for two weeks at Harrison. We stayed in their old barracks, though I'm sure they are gone now. Pity, if they are gone they should have kept one company area for history.

All the times I was through there while travelling to duty in the east I never stopped to see the place. That was as far back as 1981...when most things from WW2 still stood. And as far forward as 2005. My mistake...
