??? BOQ or BOTC is a training requirement in the CIC yes, but how courses are run, when they are run and what is taught is, at the current time, decided by each region.  That is the whole point of all the new courses, is standardized training in every region so that all BOTC's contain the same...

Again, this may vary by region but ya, if they discovered that changes need to be implemented, it may be back to the drawing board so to speak. cheers PV

Oh no, i was simply implying that it must be expensive to physically manufacture them, having the Gov pay logistik for a cap for every member of the AF.  Seeing as we don't wear them that often i am sure that money can be better spent somwhere else.  I hope they keep the item scaled though, as i...

Well, that was my first guess.  It makes sense to try and save some money on that item as they must be kinda expensive to produce and not a daily item of wear, but at least it's still on the scale! Thanks again Vern. Cheers PV

Awesome, i knew i would get a more direct answer from here rather than e mail Logistik directly, thanks Vern. cheers! PV

Ok good, i am not the only one wondering why the forage is only available for purchase now and not through the point system?? Would it be safe to say that they are trying to phase this item off the list of authorized head dress?  Perhaps Vern or one of the resident supply gurus might be able to...

Interesting.  I think Craig has done a good job in the role so far.  I was watching "on her majesty's secret service" the other night and couldn't figure out why Lazenby got the punt, the movie was pretty solid; save the last scene with the drive by shooting. Cheers PV

quote] Capt Minaki from RCIS(E) posted the text of the CANFORGEN in the CadetNet forums. Perfect.  Thanks! Authorized for Air Force members ? Not that i had seen prior to the CANFORGEN, but if so, fair enough.  Thanks. cheers, PV

Is this written anywhere ? I for one will be always be a fan of the forage cap, however cumbersome it is off the head.  Now we just need to bring back the swagger stick! cheers, PV

Yep, it's in the works.  I am sure you can appreciate that changes, nationally, can't just happen over night.  I would suspect that it still varies by region and will for another few years. PV

I havn't been on course since last year, however from what i understand the new BOTC is already being implemented (but perhaps somone else can elaborate).  The last course i was on was CWIC and i was told that we were the last intake under the current structure, and a new one would be online...

They should still be in the system, i just received 5 of them from my Detachment awhile ago, just had to send an e mail up the chain to supply, they were mailed to my unit.  The AF Firefighters still wear them on their coveralls ? cheers, PV

Yep, was definately aware of that difference.  Thanks for the history and info. cheers PV

Just a quick question out of curiosity ? to be appointed CDS does that automatically mean you get bumped to full blown Gen ? has their ever been a CDS that skipped a rank ? (went from MGen to Gen ?) or has their ever been a CDS who was not a full General ?  If anyone has time on their hands, as...

Hey gang, This should help if your looking for a unit. http://cadets.ca/directory-repertoire/intro_e.asp  cheers PV

I am not sure about the rest of the country, but i am sure it's to follow if not already in place...In Central Region, in addition to  all the checks you do through the military, you are now required to do a civi ERC at your local Police station.  This is because we (CIC) do not get paid for...

The only way i could see you getting a PPL for free other than being an Air Cadet would be to work with a Squadron and perhaps convince the sponsor to pay for your liciense using NPF. I have heard of CIC Officers receiving gliding and power wings while they were Officers, then taking the DND...

RIP Brothers.  My thoughts are with you. A Firefighters Prayer When I'm called to duty God wherever flames may rage give me strength to save a life whatever be its age Help me to embrace a little child before it is too late or save an older person from the horror of that fate Enable me to...
