Navy Badges on Army / Air Force DEUs

[PrairieFella]

IF (big if) the RCN is "blocking" (which they can't) a Domestic Ops medal is because all naval operations are Dom Ops basically. As are most Airforce Operations. Hence why the RCN introduced the Sea Service Insignia to recognize all the operations sailors do (by way of counting sea days) that aren't counted.

Army stops LARPing for two weeks to respond to a flood in Quebec (again) and they want a medal for it.

Idk - the DOMOP I did was harder, dirtier and more dangerous than my Latvia tour. Probably worthy of recognition.

I tell people it's my gold star for attendance. I showed-up every day on that tour and did my job. Just like 40K other CAF members did in that theatre.

The thing that bothers me is when people judge your medals/deployments based on your DEU. I remember a FGH MCpl mocking my deployment to Afghanistan at the Portage La Prairie air show back in '09, because I was in RCAF DEU. Fucktard hadn't gone anywhere, but felt quite confident that as an air force guy I was just a poser. When I was about to confront the idiot, an older vet came by and started asking about my career, and diffused the situation... Likely a former SNCO who saw the fight starting.

Do you happen to remember the guy's name...

That is a reward in and of itself.
