CFS Alert’s Got Talent Obituary Jim Pullen – Mr. Supply competition a hit – will be missed by all

n 1951, the Canadian Government had just committed Ca- Inadian troops to a three-year mission in Korea; the reserve elements of all three Canadian military services joined their Regular Force counterparts; and Mr. Jim Pullen joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. Jim actually wanted to be an Electrical Technician, but he was offered the Supply trade and never looked back. His first posting was at the former Manning Depot in Aylmer, Ontario, where he spent six years before being posted to CFB Winni- peg, where he remained until 1964. In 1964, Jim was also deployed to Turkey with two other military members and two civilians; presumably to support aircraft supplied by Canada to that country. He and his ser- geant had no sooner arrived on the ground when the Cana- dian government froze the supply of all parts for the aircraft because of hostilities between Greece and Turkey. The timing could not have been worse for a man known to many as “Mr. Supply,” whose job it was to get those parts. Soon after, Jim was posted to the former CFB Downsview from 1965 to 1970, where he worked part time as a clerk in the drapery department of Eaton’s Yorkdale. Back in those days, many military men had to moonlight in order to buy those little extras for the family. After several additional postings such as Goose Bay, Ed- In the semi-annual Alert’s Got Talent competition, 11 separate participants or teams monton, Ottawa and two separate deployments to Germany, of participants, showed off their talents through song, dance, and comedy.
