    Membership in Cadets AND the Reserve

    Yes, here is the reference CATO 13-07 http://www.cadets.ca/_docs/cato-oaic/1307_b.pdf The difficulty comes in the time required to give to both organizations.  Further, when the person is in their CF uniform he/she is under a different set of rules and regulations (CSD) than a cadet.  Also, a...

    AF beret + Metal Capbadge

    The CO cannot properly deny wearing OG107 by any individual cadet while wearing a wedge rather than a beret.  Perhaps the field dress was acquired at no cost to the family of the cadet and they do not have the ability or desire to purchase a beret.  The authorized dress is the wedge.   The CO...

    AF beret + Metal Capbadge

    Then what's the point?  Cadet Corps Squadron COs have very few sanctions wrt cadets.  To deny a cadet advancement in the corps/squadron, participation in an exercise/activity, canteen privileges, require extra duties, because a cadet is not able or willing to purchase kit that is not provided is...

    AF beret + Metal Capbadge

    Confirmed by the RCSU HQ that berets are not on the scale of issue for air cadets.  The blue beret is not available through the supply system for cadets. They must be purchased privately with non-public funds.  The CO of a cadet corps can hold no money except a petty cash float that belongs to...

    AF beret + Metal Capbadge

    Your CO cannot mandate that you must purchase a piece of non-issue kit. i.e. OG 107 or a beret.  The authorized headdress with OG107 field dress is a wedge or beret.  However, as the beret is not issued, there no authority for anyone to mandate its wear, unless of course the local sponsor...

    Penticton Reservist (?): "It's time to end Afghanistan war"

    That is where you stand into danger!  Where is the line between being a member of the CF and being a citizen? You have self indentified yourself here as a member of the CF. Therefore, hiding behind statements as those of a citizen is not possible as those comments become politicized in this...

    MSM Headline Watch: What a Difference a Day Makes...

    How MSM are Preparing (or Not) for 100th Fallen

    The fact is everyone who has commented here Iincluding myself] will be anxious for the details of the unhappy news when the Afghanistan Mission fatality meter clicks 100.  You will want to know... who, what, when, where, why, how.  Our collective interest will contribute to the radio and...

    B.C. keeps $1.5b Submarine contract

    The idea of three boats on the East Coast was predicated on the maintenance of the boats on the East Coast.  One boat one each coast operational.  One boat training and working up.  One boat in refit.  The boat that is working up or the boat in refit can be on either coast depending upon the work.

    B.C. keeps $1.5b Submarine contract

    Travel time/expense of coastal transfers for maintaining the submarines is a red herring.  With two boats on each coast, all of the boats are going to travel from coast to coast regardless of which coast the primary contractor is located on.

    B.C. keeps $1.5b Submarine contract

    It was the first time these boats had been subjected to tropical conditions.  To have an escort was due diligence.  Here is open source discussion from the Commons Defence Committee discussing the engine room conditions.  Other systems were affected as well.

    B.C. keeps $1.5b Submarine contract

    Vic had an escort on her coastal transfer because the boat was undergoing some very important "warm water" trials.  It was also doing some ASW work with the escort.

    Penticton Reservist (?): "It's time to end Afghanistan war"

    DAOD 2008 "Any member of the CF or employee of the DND in their official capacity may agree to speak (be interviewed) by the media provided it is to speak about what they do" If you have been to Afghanistan and can speak to your personal experience you "may" write the Star in response.  Seek...

    Penticton Reservist (?): "It's time to end Afghanistan war"

    What you can do is recommend that members of your Regimental Association, Officer's Association or other service support group write letters to the editor setting the record straight. Third party support is always more credible. Otherwise, it is the Minister that defends Government policy as the...

    Penticton Reservist (?): "It's time to end Afghanistan war"

    Nothing as long as you don't identify yourself as a member of the CF or are not so well known that it is known that you are a member of the CF. Further, not being "on duty" doesn't matter much as while the CSD only determines how one is handled not whether one is disciplined or not. As has been...

    Interested in volunteering my time to Cadets - info?

    Generally, no.  PRes and SupR pers are employed in the cadet program with the skills they bring .. i.e your PRes RSO qualification or admin quals.  There is no requirement for UHRA training in the PRes.  That is not to say a special request based on need would not be endorsed by the CO  of the...

    CF-156B for light attack role?

    And the Canada Wordmark is only authorized for use on official Government of Canada materials. Splicing it onto the end of your remix of other video is misrepresenting the Government and the CF.
