   The Museum in Stadicona may have some of the RCN photos. I don't recall any   
   Museum left in the Cornwallis area, the closest Navy Museum would have to be   
   in Halifax.   
      
   When I went through Cornwallis, it was supposed to be 11 weeks of Basic   
   Training. We only did 9 weeks, because it was Christmas Time, and they   
   wanted us on our way before they shut down for the holidays.   
      
   There was a time since, when I believe they may have done 16 weeks basic   
   training.   
      
   For one of my Trade Courses, we had T-Shirts made, "Success without college"   
   and the creator of the image collected from the class, so we all had the   
   TeeShirts in time for a Course photo. WE took our dress shirts off, and   
   posed with the T-shirts.   
      
   This was the only class photo, where there were T-shirts, and one old cranky   
   Chief quickly removed it from the file, so it would not be mounted on the   
   wall. I used to have my own copy of the Course Photo, but the one in the   
   archives was tossed by that Chief, leaving one course number out of the   
   sequence.
