Can we have a Regimental mascot like the Royal Welch and Spanish Foreign Legion (Spit!)?
May I be so bold as to suggest an Aardvark. It would have no trouble keeping up with our slow time Regimantal march.
If we can, i volunteer to be Mascot Trainer/wrangler.Last edited by Pitswamper; 23-05-2012 at 02:58.

MCpl FV (Canadian) at your service. My blade, and my liege, are yours. Will we have a Regimental Affiliation with the Glorious 10th?
- 23-05-2012, 03:07 #77My only concern is the Aardvark's noble appearance may take away from our own, erm.....shall we say less noble personages---I mean after all, this is the Legion and we take all the flotsam and jetsam of the other nation's militarized as long as they have the proper martial spirit.
