Ok, good.  I am not the only one.  i find every logistik berret size i try is like a chef hat, i still use the same one i bought at clothing stores back when i was in Air Cadets! the material is geting a little thin  :D  Anyhow, i am gonna give Joe Drouin a try. cheers PV

I can't find the steering wheel covers listed under an authorized accoutrement anywhere? weird, i was hoping to buy one and use it as a lanyard.  Oh well, thanks for the info! cheers PV

hey gang. Forgive me, as i have only ever worn the good ole leather band logistik beret... What is the difference between a "belgium" style beret and a"pakistan" style beret as per the Joe Drouin  http://joedrouin.com/ere_clothing.htm kit shop web site ? I am aware of the cloth band...

That's what i figured. PV

From what i have seen, the new level 1 program also confirms those things.  I am interested in what the new rank would look like however. Regards, PV

What region are you from as training odes vary slightly from each region, which is why they are changing the course.  Depending on when you get in, you might receive some of the new training.  From what i hear their will be a lot more distant ed training in the pre instructional package. PV

Ya, AFAIK they just want us to go through it first, not teach it, then forward our comments, things we would change etc. , like a book review. regards, PV

We havn't received the package yet, but it is on the way.  Since, in level 1, you learn the rank structure, maybe it will have a picture of this new rank. regards PV

They will also be cahnging some of the promotion requirements, that is, being able to be promoted more than once in a year.  as it stands right now, promotion to a rank requires that you have a certain amount of time in your current rank yet you can only be promoted once every training year...

hey all, We currently have a NCdt. on slate with my unit (Air) but the powers that be (Central Region) are forcing him to remuster.  As said, their are ways around this but it usually requires that you are a little up there in rank (Cap or el tee) ie.  joining the RCIS slate or holding...

Well Yoman, As promised, after looking into this new rank, i am just starting to hear some ramblings here in central region.  They are introducing a new rank at an attempt for better retention amongst the younger cadets.  Apparently studies have been done blah blah, and younger cadets want...

This initial post caught my interest.  So Gen. DeChastelaine was recalled back to fill the post of CDS and they transfered him to the CIC to get him past the retirement age ? thanks for the info and clarification. cheers, PV

It won't happen.  They are still trying to fully implement cadet.net and Fortress, and that's been years! I'll keep looking for anything written down. PV

News to central region, like many things in the cadet movement, i'll believe it when i see it.  When and if i find somthing written, i will post an update. regards, PV

Uhhh.........I would be highly interested as to where your CO heard this.  Unless you are mistaken and your CO meant a new appointment being introduced to you particular Sqn. (ie a duty Cpl.) not a nation wide rank change.  elaboration is appreciated. regards PV

And the Cpl. carrying the Province of Quebec flag is missing a level badge  ;D.  sorry i couldn't resist. PV

agreed.  Please post your resultts, whatever the outcome with the Whitby tailor, that is still a closer drive for me than Borden (i will need to replace my pants eventually). cheers PV

Piker, I still have not heard of anything in or around the GTA (doesn't mean their isn't though) aside from a quick jaunt up to Borden.  I bought my mess kit used off of another member of this board some time ago.  I have also heard that somtimes you can get the material you need from your...

I don't think that is entirely true, my unit has two sponsors.  Kiwanas club and a parent support committee, the latter of which is a registered charity.  We do bingos and the whole nine.  This came into effect a couple of years ago, i can get you some more infor on how it happened if you like...

A huge improvment over the last site.  well done to all. cheers PV
