Quote from: CF Publication A-AD-265-000/AG-001 Canadian Forces Dress Instructions from 2001-06-15 Wear of Civilian Clothes 47. Visible civilian items of apparel shall not be worn my members with any uniform, except where specifically authorized in these instructions. Conversely, items of uniform...

Sounds like a challenge! ;) Tomorrow I will post pub#,chap and para for everyones info.The dress regulations are very clear on the point that such items DO NOT identify the individual as a member of the CF.The wearing of combats with an epulatte and flag would constitute a no no,but a pair of...

IIRC there is a para in the CF Dress Regulations stating that you can wear accessories(ie rainsuit,greatcoat,gloves etc)while in civilian dress,and not have to worry about being dragged off kickin and screamin,as long as it doesn't identify you directly as a member of the CF. I wear my long...

Was a member of 24 magnificent from 88-02.PM me if you want details.

The only item I've ever owned made by Black Hawk was their 2L Hydrastorm hydration system.Utter crap.Looked good on the shelf in my kit room,but first day in the woods,it fell apart quicker than my 2000 Ford Focus.

Thank you for all the input. Even though my last requests are pretty simple,with my wife being sole benefactor of my estate,a good point was brought up about the children.I'm thinking of going to a lawyer or SISIP(does anyone know if they offer this service?)and drawing up a proper will...

Are military issued wills legally binding on civy street if you are killed during non-duty hours?

The CGCS (Canadian Goverment Catalog System)(IIRC) is a much easier system to use.It's essentially the same as the CGCM but it also includes all goverment agencies and is more user friendly.Unfortunatly,its only availible from the DIN,and probably only availible through a supply or Maint...

At one time,not long ago on a base far,far away.. I used to consider myself a gear slut,but with all the new issued kit, alot of the stuff I had is now "put out to pasture".I still have some of my"greatest hits" stuff that will never die though. 1.Stealth suit 2.Camelbak 3.Leatherman charge...

I know for sure that there was talk and trials for a new rain gear in Cadpat(TW) that had some design features that made it a little more wearable than the current issue.I don't have a link handy,but it was mentioned in not only a power point demo for the textile industry,but also in the Maple...

Thanks for the words of advise. I've been considering a Arm'd posting for a while as well.All the troops I've talked to(mostly the feeder trade type ;))have nothing but good to say about Arm'd regts.With the stand up of the new DFU(Direct Fire Unit)in Edmonton,I was considering it as a posting...

I've been told,that after my QL4 trg(approx 8 months left)Thank god! :),)That I will be posted out of   Wainwright.I am reserchimg possible posting's through word of mouth.What I'm looking for is a unit(hopefully first line)that will get me to the field and ,possibility overseas. As a soon to...

PM me with the details.Will pay shipping. thanks.

Clothing Stores should be able to help you out.Usually if you're on a course,your staff has something already set up for this situation. cheers

I'm surprised that none of our older and keener EME types haven't jumped in here yet. At one point in time,the Canadian Army had a program for its aspiring technitions.This was to be a academic/military school in which its students would not only preform in a academic(read highschool/trade...

I've never worn my combats to outside activities off hours,but I do wear some of the issued stuff hunting.(long underware,fleece top,WW boots and gloves).To prevent myself from getting flamed all over the place,I do wear these items under my hunting coveralls,so nobody really sees any of it.I...

It's amazing how much of that stuff we actually make in our shop for a whole lot less money and a little time. Just goes to show you "What one motivated Wpns tech and a engraver can do"

additional PM send ref gloves
