Is there a specific distance in the pubs which tells us an appropriate distance to salute someone while passing by? It’s always been “a judgement” call which can vary from person to person. Is there an actual “minimum or maximum distance”? I took a look through the drill manual and didn’t see...

The CANFORGEN says the Canex does it? I’m not sure if that’s morale patches or just the standard badges and slips though.

Hello all: I’ve created a morale patch for my unit. I was wondering if anyone knows who makes the patches? Do I just submit a picture or a digital copy, along with a memo and send it up the chain to the CO and let the powers that be take care of the rest? Has anyone submitted for a patch with...

Ughhh NCD uniforms are complete trash. (My opinion only) CADPAT is the far superior uniform.

There seems to be a few people who are under the impression that I “hate” military police, which isn’t true. There’s a big difference between hatred and simply not trusting, or preferring to keep my distance. Always treat MPs with respect and be polite, but you don’t have to say anything you...

Thanks for the clairification, I’ll have to take a look and see if it’s a club vs. a mess. It definitely comes off as a mess, but I will take a look when I have time, also thank you for the reference. I figured MPs would have their own mess due to the nature of their work, and by the sounds of...

So can I choose to pay into the MP mess and play in their little playground instead of ours?

Please correctly read what I said before you reply, I said “treat with respect and be polite”.  If you choose to talk to police that’s your perogative, but you’re under no obligation to chat with them or buy them coffee. Also, you’re using the term bigoted very loosely, and that’s not really...

Soooo you don’t have your own mess then? What base is that? On this one they do have their own. If there’s one mess then no I don’t have a problem, if you have your own and come into ours, maybe I do have a problem. Depends on where your dues are going. The MP mess here is quite nice.

I don’t know what cop block is.

That’s poor advice. It’s only worth 2 cents, they don’t even make pennies anymore.

Do you have your own mess though?

That’s exactly what I’m talking about. Thanks!

Ok for some clairification: 1. The MPs at this current base have their own mess, so can I just go in to their mess whenever I want? 2. For those of you who were offended by my lack of trust in MPs, they’re cops, it’s a cardinal rule to never trust a cop, always be respectful and polite but...
