As a practical example of service integration, the Canadian Joint Air Training Centre at Rivers, Manitoba was living proof that the colour of the uniform a man wears was immaterial when it came to getting the job done. Permanent strength of 800 servicemen at CJATC was one-half RCAF and one-half Army. Except for two months each summer when naval jet squadrons come to Rivers for tactical exercises, RCN strength was a token force — but “blue jobs” and “brown jobs”.
