Quote: "That all depends on trade. I think only the combat arms require you to have your PLQ to get your leaf. Most support trades only require you to be high on the merit list and for there to be a master corporal position available for your trade." I can tell you that is not the case on my...

Unless they have changed something really really recently it is still an appointment. Well at least in the reserves it still is. I could only find the reserve MCPL information in the QR&O‘s. With more time I‘m sure it can be found about the REG force. It is "paid" however as a rank...

Well gee... what have i started....I never said i bought it. I got it of of a friend who was in the regs and the reserves who cleared out of the forces all together. For some reason when he returned all his kit he did not have to turn in his vest. I‘m guessing that he got it issued in Edmonton...

Well before i give my 2 bits I just want to tell you this is advise only (as your post ask for). I can tell you from being an instructor on a basic and other courses that it can make your life easier as far as the trg and physical aspect of things. More Physical training on your part will only...

Thanks for the info! I guess the Load Bearing Vest (LBV) and webbing depends on the tac situation or what environment you are in. Like the webbing i usually add a mag pouch or two , or an extra utility pouch depending on what i need. It is more versitile. But I don‘t like the "flopiness" of the...

Hello, I know how frustrating all this maybe for you. I do have 2-3 med and 2-3 Tshirts LG bran new in the packages I maybe able to give ya. They only cost like 3-5 dollars at clothing stores. I bought them when I was in Waynewright last summer. I always drop by clothing stores when I‘m on...

Well maybe some people miss understood me. I‘m not at all saying the west is always forgotten...it just seems to me that for the most part Western area is the last area to receive things. I realize everyone will be issued the cadpat someday so I‘m not too worried. There is a supply problem I...

First of all, I think it is safe to say the West is forgotten for just about everything the army has to offer and/or last to get it. As for CADPAT, I heard one of the hold ups is that when 3 ppcli came back from Afghanistan they had to burn there CADPAT and all get reissued it so there is a...
