ADM (HR-MIL) INSTRUCTION 03/03 AWARDING AND RECORDING OF WOUND STRIPES Whether you want to wear it on your uniform or on a blazer, you earned it and you have the right to display it.

forgotten, Just to get the 'info' part out of the way; You can wear your wound stripe on a civilian dress jacket or service club blazer (same goes for medals), you've earned it. But, I know... It just doesn't feel right without the uniform. As for the rest of your post; I know how you feel. ...

Physics for Dummy's Calculus for Dummy's TI-89 Graphing Calculator for Dummy's Why? 2 reasons; 1) Mechanical Engineering, Design and Analysis at Conestoga College 2) I never took physics or calculus in high school and the TI-89 Calculator has (according to the math teacher) the answer to...

I'm aware.  But to clarify a bit;  Has anyone ever argued to have the wound stripe awarded to non-combat related injuries?  or even awarded posthumously? And, my argument is also against the general idea of posthumous award, specifically if this medal is to replace the wound stripe.  As...

WRT the posthumously awarding of the Sacrifice Medal; Why hasn't anyone ever tried to get the Wound Stripe awarded posthumously?  Would the same people who are fighting so hard to get the criteria for the Sacrifice Medal, and awarded posthumously , fight just as hard if there was no medal, just...

Agreed! This has become a farce...  I'll keep my wound stripe; it has history, tradition and dignity... 3 things which seem to be lacking, or being stripped from, the "Sacrifice Medal".

Just because I'm going to lose my mind if I don't, and everyone seems to have the wrong info and its my job to have the right info about recruiting, co-op and all that crap; I'm going to jump in here and correct some stuff. 1) The minimum age for application to the CF is 17 with parental...

To be quite honest, there are some days when I think maybe I'm one of "those guys" who is "milking the system" for whatever (money/sympathy/etc)... and I feel that, maybe I don't really have a problem...  There are days I think the diagnosis for "anxiety disorder" is just a result of my being...

I had just confirmed with colleagues today that Gnr Keyes-Oliver was, at one point, a member of the RHFC.  Although I had never really known her, as she was in the RHFC while I was deployed/on work up and had moved on to 11th Field (then 30 field) before I came home, She was still a member of...

The soldier (who will remain nameless) is a friend of mine and a brother of a member of my Regiment.    I can't even express how shocked I was to hear this info yesterday... This along with the death of a former member of the Regiment (Gnr Keyes-Oliver) made yesterday a fairly dark day for the...

I must say;  :salute: :salute: to the RHF (2nd BN RRS) for receiving new colours... while on operations. 

I can't remember exactly where I heard it, but there is a significant chance I may have read it there...  I'll have to look for that when I'm back in the office. Either way, I've never had to deal with that situation... Just lot of piercings, hair cuts and junk like that... which are easy to...

Well.. Another method, and perhaps this is just something done in my neck of the woods;  every time I get a new tattoo, I have to report it to the MO. But I see the MO every 3 months or so for follow-up appointments, so I guess it's easier for this method to be enforced.  Is this common for...

The legal argument aside; why would this member stay with an organization he disagrees with and finds so much fault in? It would seem more logical for a person with such convictions to NOT be involved in the organization they're opposed to...   ??? In my twisted thinking, this is the same as a...

Jeez... Farrah...  get well soon, brother...  then give them hell. :salute:
