That's a good approach, especially since there's no shortage of CA members sporting US jump wings on their mess kits.

"...right breast of the service dress and mess dress jacket only while on duty in the specific allied country, when subsequently working with the armed forces of the country or when attending a formal function sponsored by the country concerned." Where are you getting the idea about the right...

16. Personnel who have been presented equivalent badges of allied countries as a result of qualifications obtained on a course prescribed by the CF, and those who have been presented honorary qualification badges while attached to, or serving with the armed forces of an allied country, may wear...

Don't we still have some CF-5 FreedomFighters still in long term storage? Or did we manage to pawn them off to a third world nation? Since we're throwing all options on the table, Let's use them to offset some of the CF18 roles so that they will last until the F-35 is finally ready for prime...

His laundry list of deployments, courses, and awards is pretty typical for a US army O-3/O-4.  Even orderly room clerks in Kabul were given Bronze Stars on departure. I recently witnessed a USAF Maj that was given his pink slip as well, despite being a "good guy" with all the right boxes...

Capital Improvements I'm interested to hear experiences with HEA and capital improvements. The IRP "agents" on my base are very nonchalant about the process. I was told to "just bring in your receipts and we'll submit the claim."  I literally have a shoebox full of home depot and contractor...

Looks like they have a badge now: http://www.forces.gc.ca/en/about-org-structure/cfintcom-mission.page

Agreed, just passing the information around as this story is now being reported on by various news agencies.

GG.CA shows that she was appointed to the ORMM (OMM) on 02 October 2007 and invested on 30 January 2009.

It will be interesting to see how this one turns out: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/canadian-military-officer-accused-of-wearing-fake-medals/article19703235/ Canadian military official faces charges of wearing unearned medals

My wife and I have been a service couple for over a decade and have always been posted together (3 going on 4 postings now). The only time apart has been for courses and deployments. These days, career managers have to do an administrative review if they post the two members to different...

With the training bit, from what I've been hearing is that the F35 will rely heavily on simulator-based training like never before. To the extent that "training squadrons" will cease to exist. That fact alone (in the minds of the politicians) significantly reduces the aircraft order. Oh and the...

Yep, "Major-General Paul Wynnyk assumed the role of Commander Canadian Forces Intelligence Command (CFINTCOM) and Chief of Defence Intelligence (CDI) today from Major-General Christian Rousseau. "

I'm certainly not gunning for a first class ticket as I appreciated the significant added costs. However, looks like a request for a hotel room during my 8+ hour stopover has gone up for approval today. What irks me about the whole situation is that there are multiple options to get me home in...

Thanks for the replies. Normally I don't bother pursuing these things, but my return travel works out to be about 26 hours since there is a stopover of over 8 hours right in the middle. (My flight to my TD is only about 12 hours since the flights line up nicely) My orderly room is giving me a...

Has anyone had any success getting a business/first class airfare for TD based on the following? (Specifically an international flight with multiple flight segments adding up to over 9 hours. 8.30 — AIR TRAVEL (1) (Senior Officers) Subject to paragraph 8.20(2) (Selection), a member is: (a) in...

Just came across this photo. Does anyone know the significance of the "maple leaf" looking badge over the nametag?
