A member of the CF Sports Honour Roll, Paul joined the Army as an apprentice soldier in the early 1960s, then remustered to the PERI trade from the RCASC and became a very highly regarded instructor and officer in out branch. His reputation as a volleyball coach was so impressive that following an RMC vs West Point Exchange Weekend - when RMC really kicked Army butt - the West Point Superintendent offered Paul the position of head coach at West Point. He turned the offer down to pursue his CF military career. And what a very successful military career it was! Following his time at RMC, he was soon promoted to Warrant Officer and shortly after was commissioned from the ranks and retired as a Captain. He later joined the Personnel Support Programs (PSP) as a Recreation Coordinator at CFB Borden. He retired December 2005.
