You got it on the second try sapper 83 if by AA you mean the Air Defence Troop Jump Section. The establishment was only one Sgt section commander and five three-man dets although we usually only had enough troops for two men per det. It used to take quite awhile to dig a blowpipe trench with overhead and protected storage for the missiles with only two of us. I am not sure when the Section started up as I arrived in the spring of 82. It ceased to exist in the summer of 85 when the Troop was moved to Chatham, NB to become part of the new 119 Air Defence Battery.
