2004 - Staff cadets had rain pants ::) I distinctly remember wearing mine. And no one was issued with a bushcap, I brought my own from home. 2003 - Correct, nobody got canteen cups, they started issueing those in 2004.

AHHH!!! I got called Thursday afternoon, and i'm getting sworn in on Marsh 31st, flying out of the Victoria Airport on April 1st (no time), and i'm on the April 3rd BMQ in Borden. Going in as a MSE Op (no element specified to me, but I did apply to the airforce) Right now, i'm just packing up...

UPDATE!! I am being flown to BORDEN, ONTARIO on April 1st for 9 weeks of BMQ!

I would like to start this thread for all those cadets who have been accepted to the Canadian Forces. I myself just got my phone call, and job offer as a MSE Operator. Swearing in Ceremony is March 31st, and I get shipped out in the first week of April.

The wording for the initial post says issued Tactival Vest, which of course is prohibited. I have, however, seen an aftermarket vest that has a bayonet frog on it, the same way the issued ones do. Here's a simliar one to the one I saw. http://www.dropzonetactical.com/lbe/modcanvest.html And...

These images are the only ones that are included in the Reference Pam. If you notice, they don't have Advance in there ;) I have a copy of the Pac Region Patrolling Handbook somewhere, I will post more if I find it.

You can find OD combat slip on tabs that say CADET. The canteen at Vernon Army CSTC sells them, and i'm sure your SupO could get a hold of some. You might want to check in the CATOs as well as your regional orders first, though, to see exactly what you're allowed to wear.

This is another one of those Identification Issues. The reason you are required to wear the dress slip ons is so you can be easily picked out of a crowd. As Dane said, Pac Region (doesn't demand) allows cadets to wear an OD brassard on OD combats, with the OD rank badge and unti badge(s).

Effective for what? What are you trying to hide from that you can't take 10 seconds to take off the slip on and put it in your pocket?

Well I managed to find a decent image to use, but it does look kind of unprofessional. If anyone wants to use it, it can be found here: http://tinypic.com/rwkxn6.jpg

Nothing is to stop someone from doing that, but it would stop some of them. And letting the DS be the only ones to rate a post is a good idea, but what is going to stop them from doing the same thing as these "trolls". Not that I'm saying the DS aren't doing their jobs well, just more food for...

It doesn't make me think that. I based the suggestion on the fact that they would have to pay money in order to get the chance to rate someone's post. That *should* deter a lot of the problems. There is nothing wrong with the current system, I am just putting things on the table for arguement's...

I figured that much, I also figured that it was in existance before, by the way he worded his post. I was just taking it as a serious consideration, and suggested the modification (for army.ca subscribers only) to keep the suggestion alive.

I can see how this wouldn't work, as people would just spam with new accounts to upgrade their own status :P Maybe have only Army.ca Subscribers able to rate the quality of someone's post? That may, a member would have to buy a subscription, and that could alleviate the problem of spamming with...

According to the Camp RSM, you're correct. I did not say he was right. Ryanman: Before the ACICO for Vancouver Island gave us the order that "no CADPAT is to be worn by cadets", I had a couple of cadets get a hold of blank slip ons (most likely from eBay), and have them embroidered with their...

No You are required to wear your dress slip on, with the gold embroidered rank. The reason the CSMs at Vernon did, was because the Cadetpat slip ons they had were garbage and ended up in the Vernon dump, so the Camp RSM authorised them to wear the CADPAT ones with the CANADA tab, for the whole...

Well I stand corrected. Maybe someone needs to rethink this whole thing? Let's hope the new gov't will, with their new CF budget.

Try www.mapquest.ca They have a distance/direction search engine.

Reading through this thread again has given me a new light on the subject. I still think it is a good idea (probably because I am one of the individuals entitled to the bonus). Maybe since there is so much controversy, the plan should be reviewed yb whichever higher ups make the rules. I...

To some extent yes. I'm not sure about the direct CF application, but there are definitely some civilian applications. For example, an air cadet can attain their civilian pilot's license, sea cadets can receive their radio operator's license, army cadets can receive their basic para wings.
