If you don't have the numbers, you will never achieve that aim, even if you had one cap badge. Having a battalion structure in the reserves can almost be considered Battalion TEWT. There is still a benefit.

Its not that its untouchable, for me its 'who cares?' The removal of Cap Badges doesn't do anything to address all the issues with reserves. Its time to accept the fact, that they aren't full time, however are making it possible for us to carry out current operations without the cost of...

As long as it works I guess

How is removing cap badges going to increase the amount of time reservists train? or the level which they train? As for moving forward, the appears the reserves have...tactical groupings

In the case of Winnipeg are they really fighting for recruits? or are they getting twice the number? Some people might be swayed by the chance to wear a shirt? ( I know its a kilt - just some old rivarly dies hard ;D)

I'd say disbandment of a unit, reg or res, could be determined if there is no reason to have them and there would actually be some sort of savings. I believe that tactical groupings are a long time coming.

I can agree on not keeping a unit for the sake of keeping them, however the arguement that a regimental system is antiquated and serves no purpose in modern militaries is crap

No lesson intended. I'm just saying that every time, they talk about removing a unit, the argument comes out about how the regimental system is antiquated and gets in the way. There is a lot more re-org needed in the Army reserve than just looking at one unit. As for not taking colours...

A regimental system is much more than form square, and if it is so old and antiquated, try refering to a Regiments' Colours as just a flag and see how casual they are about it.

Ullamh :salute:

Don't forget Afghanistan isn't the first combat operations either. Previous generations had really crappy kit. I hated the dang Y-yoke on the old webbing, and 20 rd mags in the breast pocket, where did your smokes go? ;)

When you say LFC is listening, what are they doing?? Unfortunately, the military deals mostly with breakdown maintenance not preventative

When we graduated BOTP, the reviewing officer asked one of the guys "what was his toughest course?" JLC, he said. The General quickly moved on. Having gone through it myself, ISCC was more than enough for a By-pass. What a waste of time and resources.

its was in the Dress manual before the canforgen even came out.

And to think the dang Air Force stole their headdress from the Army. I have to admit the beret is a very well formed Shower Cap.

Just a side bar, Rifle regiments, wear their Primary Battle Honours on their Cap Badge. The drums are just an instrument that lends to painting all the battle honours on.

I'd just put your OC's name down.

Wow an cyber-space lynch-mob... :o
