"Red" wings were worn by pers in the SSF who were parachute qualified and had not had the opportunity to serve in a para position.  For example, soldiers in 1 RCR. Before the Cdn Army issued the metal pin on Patrol Pathfinder badge, many in the Regiment wore the US Army badge on the CF/DEU. 

Been wrong before and it was almost 25 yrs ago.  I also recall we stopped wearing our SSF boots (just higher ankle boots) at that time too and started with the garrison boots.  These were the only part of garrison dress we wore, the jacket, pants and shirts being stuffed in the bottom of...

When we converted to the "new" uniforms (DEU) I seem to recall us getting the white wings when they came back from the tailor shop.  We also got issued our Garrison Dress with a similar set of wings.

Some of us still wear our silver maple leaf over our white one.

From a former patient point of view, Junk.

It is very nice to hear that Journeyman, PMedMoe and JMesh didn't think George was being rude, point is, it doesn't matter what your opinion was, I found it rude. People tend to hide behind their anonymity on these types of forums and make comments.  All is did was state a very similar...

Kiwi, I agree totally.  We could give every type of metal and badge to everyone, but some people would still cry for more. Congrads to my PPCLI bros and the guys from the "other" units. Jay

Went there this past summer.  Disney military discounts are for US service members and their families.  However, went to Seaworld Orlando and all they wanted was my military ID and my wife's driver's license and all 4 of us went in for free.  Saved us $310.00.

I left the RCMP almost 4 years ago and went o the Reg Force.  Yes, your RCMP SA transfers to the CFSA.  You will still need to do a minimum of 25 yrs in the Reg F before pension, BUT, you will have a 28.5 yr pension.  The CF does have a bit of latitude regarding civi U rather then RMC.  Of...

When you are about a month from graduation of Depot, you fill in all sorts of forms (insurance, dental etc).  One of these is a statement of past federal service.  This form is self explainatory.  I had 3 months of militia time, which I had paid back, and 15 and a half yrs of Reg F.  I filled in...
