    CadetPat field uniform

    What is the CCM coming too "phasing out" (wrong words) an old uniform, I'm not sure perhaps a modern organization witha  vision and resources for Cadets?

    Do you wish your corps would do more with your Affiliated Unit?

    No one's talking amalgamation, this is like go to work with your Parent Day you do in CAPP.

    It's totally case by case. But, you're right.

    CadetPat field uniform

    The only recognition it has as a uniform from the CATOs is that any military uniform look alike must have deonation that you're a cadet.

    It's a problem every year... a cadet does so many things wrong that the staff stop (or never start) documenting it b/c it becomes so time consuming. We had one kid in Echo that we just saved a memo on a disk and only changed one small part of it every time. It was such a joke, he didn't last though.

    In very short, you can't make a cadet do something they don't want to forcefully. That's pretty obvious. But Cadets, are generally pre agreeable. As long as you don't abuse your position of leadership (you have no authority) you can assign extra duties or "suplimental training" as required to...

    CadetPat field uniform

    Delivery can be to the LHQ if you've prepaid and asked your CO or applicable officer. All it will do is fill their mail box. I'd suggest it be sent to your house (when I order on line I do COD as much as possible)

    I'd disagree. Platoons are randomized groups of people. It's inevitable there's going to be one of two that just make your head spin. Particularly in Basic where a lot of the Cadets are young and inexperienced, and often through no fault of their own make your life a living hell. And as for...

    CadetPat field uniform

    It's a grey area in the CATOs, technically it's civilian clothing. However there is also a provision that anything that could be taken to be military clothing must have a denotation that you are a Cadet. Depends on the region for specifics. RSCU (P) allows a brassard with "Royal Canadian Army...

    Do you wish your corps would do more with your Affiliated Unit?

    HIs AfU was the Irish Fusiliers of Canada. They're long gone, but there traditions etc were given to the BCR family, which in turn took "over" all the Irish affiliated units (Pipe Band and Cadet Corps). So the affiliated unit isn't disbanded, it's the Biritish Columbia Regiment, but the Cadet...

    Or it turns into a big joke and every minute you're not working you can make jokes about your platoon. I mean don't do that. It's wrong.

    CadetPat field uniform

    I know about Dave's, my last LHQ did an order of 50 full sets from them last May. The issue, I should restate. Quantity is available. Quality in numbers is getting harder to come by.

    ....also, the sizing is totally different. These uniforms are not repackaged MARPAT They're actually made in Victoria, BC.

    CadetPat field uniform

    Be as angry as you want, but they gave us those ranks to wear so we did. There's not really a debate here; it shouldn't have been done, but it was b/c it seemed like the most viable solution. We had them on for a stunning 8 hours. The flaw in logic with ODs is a. They're actually becoming hard...

    Pioneer is for Cadets that - are too young to go on exchange of staff; - do not hold NSCE but would like some "advanced training"; - and is a generally awesome course. It's actually not a course, I should correct myself there. It's a trial so you recieve no qualification...

    CadetPat field uniform

    The last thread was locked? so this tidbit can be its own thread. My new Corps is having Cadets purchase, at their expense, and only if they so desire, the new CADETPAT uniform. Some observations: - The old "grama" buttons are still on. If I was using my set for an extended period of time...

    It's funny, most years there isn't one company that is clearly "stronger" than the others, but this year there were definatly two that stood out in my minds. The first week for the penant Guard Coy gave a figurative body slam to the rest of the battalion, we weren't even close. That's when I...
