Well, this may be an over simplification, but if the Syrian Rebels were the enemy of our enemy, therefor our friends, what happens now that the common enemy is gone?

So if this medal was adopted and I already had the CD, would I still receive the new one?

You can't introduce a three-year service medal, when you already have a 12-year service medal. The original Canadian Volunteer Service Medal represented service in the second world war. The only real viable way to use something similar closer to the present would be for specific conflict, so for...

And now the joys of trying to get medals mounted and track down ribbons during a postal strike.

If I remember correctly, they stopped wearing berets years ago.

Highlanders (and Lowlanders) do not wear berets. Balmoral colours can vary between regiments, generally without any significant beyond being a unique way to identify the regiment. Torrie colour is also used for this.

The best part of it would be that theoretically, someone who had already received the CD, would qualify separately for the Canadian CD once they had completed 12 years since their initial CD/ most recent bar, and could wear both of them. So theoretically John Smith, CD, CD

Somewhat unrelated, but I wanted to see if I there was an actual answer to this one. Why are certain trades allowed to wear trade badges in combats, while others aren't? For example, trade badges are authorized for those in the armoured trade, but not for the infantry.

And we have survived nearly 75 years with the CD, without any serious attempts to change or replace it. I even like to joke that the design of the Lonnie was based on it. Although, I have had to remind a few people that the CD is 40 years older than the Lonnie. Christopher McCreery has a...

The one thing that always stands out to me is the conversations I've had with women who were serving when women were first permitted in the infantry. Apparently their response to "Congratulations, you can join the infantry now" was, why would we ever want to join the infantry? It's not a job...

Well, maybe it will be reversed after the next election. This is very sad. Heart of Oak is a wonderful song.

I'm wondering if we are going to see the whole Sailor 1st Class thing go away after the next election.

I'm pretty sure if there were any chance of a Canadian base being attacked, there would be no cadets on it. For example, the entire cadet program was shut down for awhile after the Ottawa shooting.

Someone pulled something out of a surplus store.

Sorry, I use the metric system. How many cups of tea would that be?

That has got to be a conflict of interest. I know that there probably haven't been issues in the past, but Who knows what could happen in the future now.

It was decriminalized a couple of years ago.

So it can be done without remounting the entire rack?
