I have an old version of the Kings crown hat badge for the Canadian Engineers.  It has only english on it and has the two lug back piece.  The badge reads Canadian Engineers.  No Royal.  PM me if you would like a picture of it. Cheers!! :cdn: The Army Guy

I agree with you whiskey.  People are entitled to their opinion.  That doesn't mean that we are also entitled to it.  More so when it's sexist or deeply hurtful to others.  Watch your step bubba.  People will see your post and you will be dealt with accordingly if you don't clean it up...

Got a laptop from Dell last June.  It's a machine for my business and it works great.  The service is excellent and the price was high for what we got.  It's an inspiron 5100.  2.4 gig processor.  Paid about 1800.00 CDN.  It's fast and clean and light.  If you are looking for a laptop go for a...

How about a new direction here??  What about all of the technological distractions teens have today?  X-BOX, GAMEBOY, PLAYSTATION, PC's, CELL PHONES, PALM PILOTS ....etc.  If you see my point.  Teens today have so much to do and so much technology to do it with, they need little or no effort to...

I wasn't attempting to place less importance on the remembrance as in the "Christmas Every Day" syndrome.  I was just passing on an idea.  My proposal to INCH was that the spot of Velcro be added to the flightsuit to allow for placement of the poppy for the authorized two week period of wear. ...

Thanks for the reminder.  I totally forgot and didn't change my clocks until Monday morning when I looked at this site.  I must be living under a rock!! Cheers!! :cdn: The Army Guy

Yes the chat was a bit "dead" when I got there, but I will go back later and check it again. Cheers!! :cdn: The Army Guy

Thanks Ghost.  I would never dream of using an avatar that I didn't earn, however I can see how it could be misleading and cause problems.  A good post for new folks and people on the outside looking in. Cheers!! :cdn: The Army Guy

I like the badge idea and that could work, all badges on the green flight suits are velcro'd on, it'd be super simple to replace one of our badges with a velcro'd poppy badge. I was speaking to a friend of mine today who is ex-military.  He suggested that you wear the poppy year round as a...

Rather than LWOP have you considered going on the Supplementary Holding Reserve List?  Granted I'm CIC and it worked for me.  If you need to be out long enough for school, but you don't want to loose your rank or qualifications perhaps you could join the Sup. Holding Reserve.  It might be an...

Do it yourself.  You didn't join cadets to let someone else do everything for you did you??  If you just work at it your boots will be fine in short order.  To answer your question (misguided though I think it is) no I have never had my shoes/boots sent for shinning.  I do mine myself.  Good...

The mace can also be purchased by the support committee.  They control the funds of some cadet units and can authorize purchases for objects not normally on the supply list.  As for the DM badge just order it through your QM stores.  As Primer said the cost is minimal and if you are indeed the...

Catalyst.  See if you can find more info from Cadets.ca.  I (don't quote me on this) believe that the CIC para involvement is a three year deal.  The crse Officer was the crse 2IC the previous year and 1 crse officer who takes the crse themselves for the first time.  The crse officer returns as...

I spent some good times on the ranges at Ipperwash.  I was there the year it closed to cadets.  What a year.  We were confined to the parade grounds and tented area ONLY.  No field training or real ranges.  We set up with the Daisy air rifle in the sports field.  That was our last range at...

Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in here.  As a youth leader for cadets, many of whom are teens, I do see most of what has been said here at some time or another.  Cadets are usually spouting off about wanting to go into the RegF or Pres when they reach about 15-16 yrs of age.  For the rest of...

Army CIC officer in Eastern Ontario Area.  I'm an Lt. and I've been in since '96. Cheers!! :cdn: The Army Guy

Keep in mind that the rifles you plan to do this "monkey drill" with don't belong to you.  If you break them you wont get them back.  Take some good advice and stick to the basics of drill from the manual provided for your rifle.  If it's not in there you don't really need to know how to do it. ...

Well now look at the can of worms I have opened!!  It was not my intention to create such a stir.  I was just wondering what was the correct tartan of CIC (Army).  You have all helped me greatly.  Thanks to you all. Cheers!! :cdn: The Army Guy

"And my officers, although good officers, are not exactly the type of officers who would look into cadets personal problems" This is not acceptable.  ALL instances where an officer is notified of an offense they MUST alert the proper authorities.  Catalyst is right.  If you don't think your...
