I think the 'issue' at hand is that fact that its common in many provinces to wear non-official honours with official national honours. Specifically mounting them in the same rack...thereby 'inflating' their service (whether intentional or not). There's folks walking around with multiple medals...

Not to go down a rabbit hole (ugh), but I think that might be up to interpretation. I looked up a few Letters Patent for a few different 'decorations' and 'medals' and it does not seem to mix the two terms interchangeably. I will agree that the CD is in fact a decoration, but only because we...

King Charles wears his minis overlapped....as he has a hockey-sock of UK and foreign orders. For Canadians, the guide provided by Rideau Hall states, "With miniatures, it is generally necessary to overlap where ten or more are worn. When insignia are overlapped, the insignia that has precedence...

Yes and no. The GG's office still sets the rules and guidelines for all Canadian Honours including the Order of Precedence, methods of wear, etc. For some awards, such as the Order of Canada and Order of Military Merit, the insignia remains property of the Crown and cannot be sold for profit...

I've seen a few similar groups and there's lots of different interpretations of the rules. In this case, it would appear that the CD was treated as a 'Commonwealth/foreign decoration' - although it's really a medal, thus prioritized over the others. Most other situations I've seen where a...

The Padre's remarks at the ceremony I attended were focused on the significance and importance of remembrance, sacrifice, and being respectful to one another. Nothing overtly religious, however, for his final word, he snuck in a crisp Amen, before departing.

From what I've seen online, the first F35 squadron won't be 'operational' until 2029...and the rest of the fleet by the mid 2030s. And those are the estimates...

Ha! Same for me. I'm an average sized guy, but when I wear my long-sleeve DEU shirt, the excess material causes me much frustration!

Here we go again! :rolleyes: https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/canadian-air-force-investigating-inappropriate-and-unapproved-call-sign-broadcast-on-uk-flight-1.6576905?fbclid=IwAR0XIaxxU4dv_ORriWJItxRkgN27m_pUotlQsCHmH64J1y-6Tx4gLbCr1nw

Another change for the RCAF ranks was the modification of the GO 'cuff rank' on the DEU jacket. With the changeover to silver, it's worth to noting that the RCAF changed the colour of every flying badge and occupation 'half wing' badge, the colour of every button, the Canada sleeve titles for...

Some comparisons from the era.

It appears that they wanted to highlight the years, similar to their other emblazoned honours? Or perhaps they just wanted to emulate the Brits to ...avoid confusion with previous Afghanistan 'activities' from the late 19th century?

Some thoughts about creating a 'Canadian crown' for the Canadian Crown: https://nationalpost.com/opinion/trudeau-crown-and-future-of-monarchy-in-canada

Prepare for gong show: "The Prime Minister also announced the Government of Canada's intention to award 30,000 Coronation medals to Canadians who have made significant contributions to the country, a province, territory, region or community, or an achievement abroad that brings credit to...

First year RMC is a slog, especially for engineering students. Unless you need the engineering degree for your occupation and/or future civilian employment ambitions, you may considering switching to business admin or similar. Many people do. There's no shame in that...and honestly, those folks...

And New Zealand too! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_New_Zealand_Infantry_Regiment

Ref RCAF GO rank on both sleeves and shoulder....I think it was more about emulating the historical RAF/RCAF sleeve ranks while still maintaining 1/2/3/4 'star' (well, maple leaf) status on the shoulder when working with the USAF, especially within the NORAD realm. Nevertheless, we're still...

So possibly expect something like this? ...But with long, purple hair and beard?
