We are discussing the ceremony and how it's run, I question what you perceive as the Legion using that day for advancing in what we believe in and I personally take offense to that. I have run this ceremony for the last 17 years and the day I was asked to coordinate this solemn day I accepted on...

The order of ceremony that is used by Legion's across Canada was developed jointly with DHH to serve as the Remembrance Service for all Canadians. While it is the Legion that runs it, it is not something the Legion can freely alter, nor would want to. If you wish to read up on the protocols set...

Also, please DO NOT follow the order of precedence that VAC uses on their site. That info did not come from the Legion and it is wrong. The Silver Cross Mother is second to the Queen or her rep....once again, not negociable

I'm responsible for Quebec Command's main ceremony in Montreal. I'd just like to make things clear to folks who may not know. Every remembrance ceremony should be following the exact same order of events. The first twelve wreaths belong to the Vice Regal Party and should be announced 1 at a...

I'm very appreciative of what Br 15 has done. This will all be brought up at our next provincial convention and all branches will be made aware of the findings. Dominion Command can be difficult to deal with so rather than hope that change starts from the top and work down, we'll work at...

This text is directly from the Dominion Command website: "Almost 1/3 of our members are Veterans (Ordinary and Life categories). While the majority of our members (Associates) are civilians, it’s important to note that these individuals are the wives and husbands, the sons and daughters, and...

Your inbox is full Brihard....contact me via PM.

Very valid points you brought up and it's something the RCL faces. As I stated, we're working hard to better represent who we are supposed to be serving. Has the Legion been going in the wrong direction? Damn right it has. At some point you either re-evaluate who you are, or say screw it nothing...

Your prerogative

In regards to branches, I can't speak for Ontario as I personally find it crazy how many branches that are in that province. Where I am from, we're presently reviewing the status of every branch within our Command. Yes, the Legion is in need of modern veterans, badly, and we wish to increase our...

The Legion itself is trying very hard to institute change and it's a difficult process. For decades it was an organization that was run by WWII vets and everything revolved around them, along with the attitude. In many instances Korean Vets were shunned and there was so much arguing over who...

Thanks for the info!

So I've been told that I have this item on my clothing docs but I have no idea just what it is.  NSN 8465-21-888-7107, Field Pack.  Small Pack, Large Pack???  Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Maybe DAA will chime in  ;) Thanks!

Great, thank you to all for the info. Wrangler

Thank you for both links, but one is over 10 years old and the second does not answer the question (have read both previously). Unfortunately at this point I do not have access to CCO net so I'm unable to look the info up directly myself. If someone could copy and paste, I'd appreciate it. If...
