Garrison Radio

Article states Garrison Radio began broadcasting in 2001, but I am certain that the station was broadcasting when I was in the town in early 2000. --69.250.249.122 20:07, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Units

There is a brigade medical regiment in the garrison too, possibly at Goojerat brks. Anybody have more details? 89.241.167.247 (talk) 08:51, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

MCTC

Since the reference cited for the MCTC specifically states that it is not a prison, I've gone ahead and changed the word prison to something else! The strict legal nicety is that any sentence of imprisonment from a military court is always accompanied by a sentence of dismissal from the forces, so is served in a prison, all of which are civilian. The MCTC's inmates are all under a sentence of detention, rather than imprisonment. CharlesSpencer (talk) 14:32, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Military prisons category?

The article has [[Category:Military prisons]], but prisons are never mentioned. A prison should be mentioned and referenced, or else the category should be removed.
